I love gas dryers for winter.
My natural gas dryer will get converted to LPG this fall so I can start using it again. I haven't used it in over a year since I moved.

Front loaders use a fraction of the water of top loaders.
My big 2006 kenmoore front load that is now moth balled would use about 12 gallons of water to normal load of water.
A normal top load would use at least 50 gallons per load.
Front load also uses less soap and fabric softener.

The only advantage top load has if if you wash really dirty nasty stuff, say if you are a plumber, oil rig worm, coal miner ect. Like exceptionally dirty, way beyond about 99% of people. Top load will get the laundry cleaner in one cycle.
