electric vs. gas dryers

I am currently renovating my kitchen and am looking into purchasing an under-the-counter washer and dryer to save space. I’ve ruled out combo washer/dryers. I’ve only had gas dryers in the past and love their efficiency but am finding that no one makes gas dryers small enough to fit under a standard counter – only electric are available. What are people’s opinions on electric dryers? Do they pale in comparison to gas dryers? I hear electric are more costly to operate and take longer to dry.
