dryer: electric or gas?

I think you need a vent no matter what. Ventless driers takes forever to dry. Which, costs a LOT more since electric costs more in the first place. Unless you cannot vent, pick gas and get a vent put in.

Gas is significantly cheaper to run than electric.

 If you could, stick with gas. Gas drying is so much more efficient than electric. Keep in mind that most electric dryers also need to be vented. Only condensation drying does not require an external vent.   If you have specific questions about models and or pricing shoot me an email. My info is in my profile.  Levi Capland  SoHo Appliances
