Love my condenser drier, it's plumbed into the same drain as the washing machine and I pull the cartridge out every couple of months and rinse it out. I'm also the kind of person who regularly cleans the drain on my dishwasher too, so it might just be me.
Ventless all the way. Condensed water drain connected to washer drain. Added bonus: it doesn't dump the heat energy directly out of your house. Especially needed if you have a balanced (heat recovery) ventilation system. Watch the videos of @mattrisinger.
In turkey every dryer is a ventless dryer. You just take the lint out of the lint tray after every use and maybe wash it clean every month. Some times if i do couple of loads back to back i am only cleaning it after the loads are done and it still works perfectly. And i dont need to pay anyone for cleaning my machine ever
Regular cleaning and maintenance of all household appliances is the key. Taking care of stuff is the only way to ensure it will continue operating properly. Tech companies have brainwashed too many into thinking that the best thing to do when stuff "breaks" is to replace it. In fact they have made product servicing physically difficult and in some cases, illegal.
@dy9278 dryers back in the day were solar powered aka the line or you still have to clean out the lint trap and your duct, freezers you had to do more maintenance on them than you do today you have to de-ice them every month or so. Any machine which an appliance is requires maintenance.
Condenser dries are great, an added benefit from using them is that they will also heat up your home rather than blow all the heat out of the home. There is also a small dehumidifying effect with them for the room you use it in. Only takes 5 minutes to clean the condenser as you show in your video.
@@jmandameloyaHAHAHAHA i wish you were right, sucks drying clothes in the summer but great in the winter. The unit is not insulated so while it recirculates the air, it puts off heat itself.
Or that most people don’t know they exist and vented one’s cost less :) Most Americans will try to save as much as the can and the cheapest ventless cost as much as an expensive vented one :) People care ❤
Agree to this uk expat in the states I miss my Miele dryer with a heavy heart. When my American friends stay in my airbnb in the uk they notice they dryer and panic about the vent Makes some good convos at 4am in the morning for me
Was about to say, I work here in Germany alot in other people's apartments and houses and never ever have seen one directly vented to the outside, barely see dryers here at all tho.
Ventless dryers are great! Had one in the US, an LG. The moisture is hooked up to the washer line so it drains away. It does dry well. And cleaning the filter was very easy. Never had a build up like the one shown. 🙄
That is a combo washer/dryer unit that you are referring to. The one in the video is a separate stand alone ventless dryer unit. I have one exactly like the one in the video but after 9 years it doesn't dry so well anymore and I keep all the filters clean.
@@PS41263you can pull out the hose on the left rear side on the bottom and attach a small hose to the connector. then put the hose in a pvc Y-splitter and let the moisture get pumped away in the drain.
They're awesome and you have FAR LESS chance burning your house down. Most have a little slot by the door that you lift out and empty. I've never needed to empty mine more than once a month. And it takes literally 10 seconds. If you're too lazy for 10 seconds then you DEFINITELY would be too lazy to maintain a vent to the outside that needs like an entire day every few months and some need you to check from the roof. I'm British 🇬🇧 and I don't know anyone with those stupid vents to the outside like Americans. It's just seems so stupid. Like what's the benefits of it and having to pay a guy a few hundred every few months to clean or risk your house burning down. How is that more convenient than grabbing a handful of lint once a month. Plus the lint smells incredible. I put it on warm radiators and it makes the house smell beautifully clean for a good few days. It's great near the front door 😂
We recently got one and love it. Ours has a drain hose so we never need to empty any reservoir, it just works like a normal dryer but it’s a lot more gentle on your clothes since it never gets as hot.
@@cececox6399I’ve always had a vent dryer growing up and we never had anyone come out to do anything to it? It has a lint filter you clean after every cycle or two and then you just check the vent coming out of the wall outside for lint once every few months. What are you talking about?
They have huge disadvantages over a full vent dryer in maintenance, reparability, and safety. They have usable applications of course but they are definitely not the ideal.
THANKYOU, and reverse cycle air-conditioning not bloody floor board heating and all that dumb shit, america needs to take note of our ac systems and heating and cooling...
In the UK, these are known as condenser dryers; I’m assuming because they condense the air into a water reservoir. Vented dryers while they still do exist, are becoming increasingly scarce. My Bosch heat pump dryer has a self cleaning condenser. Only maintenance are to clean two lint filters and empty a tank. They are amazing and they look after your clothes far more than a normal dryer because they get nowhere near as hot.
@@JamesKing-el3ry The new ones are amazing. My Bosch has 2 lint filters, and the dust, loose fibres, hairs and debris it catches after washing them is insane. Even black garments come out totally spot free and everything is so soft. Ive heard some heat pump dryers take a long time, mine probably takes 25% longer than a standard dryer. 1h 20 minutes for a 8kg load vs maybe 45 -55 minutes, but given they use 1/3 the energy and dont stretch or damage clothes, its more than worth it.
💯 Excellent dryer. after every Dry cycle, empty the water in the container and clean the small filter. What they showed in the video was the large filter and it was enough to clean it once a month and a half or two.
GE actually has a really slick new model that works well, it just costs $3500. But it’s great for saving space and helping the environment. They typically use less power and furthermore they don’t draw hot or cold air into your house when they blow the air out the vent. The air has to come from somewhere! Much more efficient for your home.
In the UK, we still have the occasional vented dryer, usually hidden away in the shed for winter. But most people who’ve bought a dryer in the past like 10 years have bought a condenser or heat-pump dryer.

@@carolelaidley1725 Wow, I have never known someone so defensive about a vented dryer. My point is, besides the fact that there are still vented dryers, 9 times out of 10 people opt for condenser dryers for their B energy rating as opposed to the D or E energy rating of those dryers that are vented, not to mention that they are more versatile when it comes to placement. Since most people have their laundry appliances in the kitchen and don’t have a vent. But yes, most people do have condenser dryers as opposed to vented dryers. Regardless of the fact that there are few vented dryers still available.
I was thinking the same thing! We have a portable washing machine and a knee-high hose or pantyhose and a hose clamp to filter the water that drains into the sink. It catches all the lint that wound go down my drain. There is a little catcher Inside the Machi e but it doesn't catch much. We have to change the stocking after about 5-10 little loads. Just depends on what we wash. But stuff like this should make us open our eyes to wanting to purchase better quality clothes. Because that lint is just money down the drain.
My old apartment have the same exact model as this. Sometimes they leak because the water tank is full so you need to empty it each cycle. The lint trap also need to be clean before using them. It’s a hassle but it makes a great dryer for such a small space
I had a ventless dryer for several years. Follow the cleaning instructions in the manual for frequency of cleaning (set a recurring reminder!) and I never had an issue with it. This is also for any appliances in the house.
They work fine as long as you keep that heat exchanger clean! And your normal filter clean and it needs air to mine is in the hallway cupboard but always leave the door a jar even though it’s a big cupboard. I’ve now got a heat pump one has like 3 different sets of filters 🙄🤦🏻♂️ But I find it drys better than my old electric “white knight” condenser dryer but it was 12 years old when it died and never had any issues with it till the end… Heat pump dryer takes longer but not much but for how little electricity it uses I couldn’t care if it took two hours per load. My sister hates condenser tumble dryers I got her one after her one broke then 8 months later she wanted a “vented dryer” again but she has the hole in the wall right behind the tumble dryer so makes sense. I however live in a flat/apartment block not a house like her so my walls are to thick to put a vent through the cupboard wall. So like most here in the uk I went for the condenser ventless dryer as a vented one I could only have a compact one which I did when I first moved in 14 years ago and miss how fast it was. But I got a 8kg washing machine so made sense to get a bigger dryer it’s a 7kg but works absolutely fine and not over loaded with a 8kg load in it. But they are good depending on brand/ and if it’s like the above in the video yeah it’s not going to dry! I just don’t see how people don’t notice the warning ⚠️ labels all inside the door etc that literally tells you to take out the bottom bit at least once a month. And use a power shower head is the best and fastest way to clean the heat exchanger in my experience. And all the lint and hair you just pick out in one lump out of the plug hole when done.
They work perfectly fine if not better than some vented ones. Albeit I clean my filters out weekly and check DAILY to make sure nothing is clogged. Yes it is more work than a vented one but for those who need a ventless option they work wonderfully! Esp for us mountain folk who live off grid.
In Austria, there are almost only heat pump dryers where you have to clean the heat exchanger and filter regularly yourself. There is absolutely nothing to it if you are behind it. Exhaust air dryers are rarely available here as they are simply no longer up to date.
May I add, you need to check the water/drain reservoir as well and vacuumed it as sometimes i can clogged up the drain pump. Its a pain to access it but it can be done. Did it multiple times in my building, superintendent here. :)
We have no way to vent our dryer outside either. I put a flexible tube off the back end rounded it around towards the front and put a nylon on there to catch all the lint that comes out. In the summer I have all the windows open anyway so on the rare occasion that I used the dryer instead of hanging the clothes out it doesn't matter. In the winter I said a fan in the doorway of that room blowing into the more central area of the house and use the dryer exhaust as a warm air humidifier. Leaving this house for 4 years now and that's what I've done for 4 years with no issues at all.
I have one. Fun fact I am from germany and the "vents" of our ventless drier look nothing like these. Ours are way easier to clean out and we do it every cycle easily. We had to adapt because most houses (even new ones) don't have ventilation for driers. My drier is now 4 years old and we hadn't had one problem. 😊
With an electric dryer I used to put a 4-in hole in the middle of a 5 gallon bucket lid and then a bunch of smaller 2 and 1/2-in holes around the outside and you put about 3 inches of water in the bottom and hook your dryer vent host of that in the winter. Just remember you have to clean lint out of it and check the water
My condo doesn't have access to vent the dryer outside of the unit. Instead of a ventless dryer, i have a standard dryer with an indoor vent kit attached. It's a lot easier for me to remember to clean everything out and refill the water when i see the little bucket sitting right next to the unit every time i do laundry
Its called a condenser dryer, they are amazing tbf. Can heat the whole downstairs by 1/2°c rather than having the heat go outside, the water collects into a tank that you empty out in the sink
I'd always recommend ventless over vented and if you can spend the extra, go for a heat pump dryer as they're super efficient. You just have to maintain them which is dead easy
I had one that washed and dried. It was installed where the dishwasher was. I was happy with it ,but it was slow. Took larger loads to the laundromat. For dress clothes and sheets was great.
You're also supposed to rinse the fins out too. For something that bad, find someone with a pressure washer or at least use a garden hose sprayer to clean it. My ventless dryer dried clothes just as fast as a regular dryer since it was not using a heat pump, plus it rotated the load in alternating directions indefinitely until I emptied the drum (which prevented wrinkles).
i used the collected water to clean the condensor. The up no one talks about: in Winter the energy heats the house it is not vented out. not even a minute to clean it. Now i have a heatpump dryer. much more efficient, but also more work to clean.
Ventless driers are years ahead vented drivers, they work faster, they don't ruin your clothes, because they dry with vapor. Cleaning the condenser every now and then Isn't a chore, I just wash it in the tub, the lint filter is cleaned every time and the water I collect it as it's distilled water. Did I mention they use half the energy of a vented?
I love my little condenser drier, but they are more demanding than vented ones for sure. Especially considering I’ve got ten cats a home, the condensing unit gets fluffy real fast.
Heat pump dryers are much better than any dryer if you actually look after it, which is simple, clean the filter and empty the water tank after every use, they are cheaper to run, better at drying cloths, and dosnt fog up the room with humidity, their soo much better we have 3 2 in mom's house and 1 in dads, their amazing
Heat pump dryer, not ventless. It uses a dehumidifier to dry the clothes instead of gas or electricity. They are way more efficient and should replace electric and gas dryers entirely. The "ventless" part is just a bonus.
The whole of australia functions perfectly without having to put random holes through the walls for vents. Vacuuming or for dryers.. theres no issue with a 1 minute clean
Don’t lie; it’s not that they don’t work as well, they just work different. You were right about how there’s different situations where you would need one, but don’t tell people they’re worse.
It’s called a condenser dryer, not a ventless. If you you do buy one. Get the heat pump version over the traditional heater coil models. A lot safer and very little chance of fires, due to how the heat is generated.
A ventless (or condensing, to call it by its proper name) dryer is far superior. The condensed water is perfect for use in steam irons and instead of wasting the exhausted heat by blowing it outside, it can be used to keep the room warm. Regular maintenance is the key so I can see why the yanks shy away from them a little.
I didnt know vented dryers even existed lmaoo its an insane concept that dryers would need a fucking dedicated venting system. just get one with a lint tray. clean that out every time and youre good whats the issue. it literally only spins and makes clothes hot to dry them.
We had one, yes it doesn't dry as quick or as well as a vented dryer and lots of condensation in the small utility room we were glad when it broke down, we have gone back to vented dryer we much happier with the vented dryer btw we've in UK every thing in UK is my expensive apart from the wage's 😮
this thing is so easy to clean tho. Just pop it under your shower/bathtub hose once every two months. If it's not this clogged it rinses out perfectly every time.
I call this a condenser dryer and prefer it over the vented dryers. I take mine out once a month and use a knitting needle to push all the fluff out and then rinse it out
Never saw vented dryers before watching your videos. Almost all dryers here in germany are ventless. You just have to clean the dust out after every drying cycle.
You got one thing wrong: you don’t need to remove the water that’s extracted from your clothes, it does that for you by purging into the washer drain. Regular maintenance is critical though if these things are to work properly. My only beef with the one I own is its capacity. Otherwise it’s a pretty nifty application.
I have one of these and for the last year it doesn't dry well at all. I keep all the filters clean but I think there is some part that is clogged in the back that keeps turning the dryer off after 5 minutes.
I hate to break it to you but america is living in the past ventless drier are all over europe. Its the standard. Its very rare to find a vented dryer.
In Europe the ventless dryers are the best and used for decades. The USA is a 3rd world country so don't blame your shitty drywalled homes with vent outlets and those crappy ventless dryers over there.. here the Miele heatpump of condensed dryers are the top of the line and perfom way better than vented dryers, it's all about regular maintenance like all applicances
Installing a vent takes you a week and costs 10 thousand dollars, so I can see why you'd think that. But vents are better. Go to a laundromat, you'll see what they use.
Dirty American here. Condenser types were never as popular here because most homes were new enough to have a vent, our varied climates mean they don’t work as well in many parts of the country, and our standard dyer sizes are too big to work well with a condenser design. BUT! Heat pump dryers are getting increasingly popular, as they have the energy savings of condenser types without the humidity issues, and can be made in larger sizes Americans are more used to. Especially with Natural Gas being phased out in many places, that efficiency is a big deal for people and a major selling point. As for me, living in a smaller Apartment, I adore my Miele W1/T1 units - but over here a wash/dry set from Miele is $3,000, easily twice the cost of larger “luxury” heat pump units from LG or Samsung. Of course, it will last 3x as long, and I got mine as floor models so I only paid 1/3rd the MSRP price…but I get why they aren’t as common here. Most stores don’t even carry the brand at all.
lie. both are great it's the user who needs an upgrade. clean the dam thing each use and the rest on a schedual per machine. me every 2 weeks I do the full thing but ours in Australia or just the cheap brands I've bought are so simple to clean and dries so well and lives past 3 yrs lol
I had a call a few years ago on a miele ventless dryer not drying. Found that the condensate pump had failed, there was about 2 gallons of water in the internal vents and the heat exchanger was packed with lint. Weirdest part, it never leaked on the floor or inside
When did Americans coin this term ventless? It's called a condenser dryer. We've had them in Europe for decades. I haven't seen a "vented" dryer in a UK home since 1987. Uses lots of electricity, shrinks clothes and causes fires when not maintained. Condensers work fine, if you have trouble using one then the drum is overloaded.
I've got one, rinse it out once a month. Works perfect!
Yep... we wipe ours out dry every other load. Takes 90 seconds and never had a problem.
He just recommends vented dryers because he loses potential jobs with each ventless dryer.

And use a power shower head is the best and fastest way to clean the heat exchanger in my experience. And all the lint and hair you just pick out in one lump out of the plug hole when done.
In europe we use 99% ventless dryer and we have no complains about those... the Problem is the user not the dry!
Basically everybody in Europe got them
They work perfectly fine if not better than some vented ones. Albeit I clean my filters out weekly and check DAILY to make sure nothing is clogged.
Yes it is more work than a vented one but for those who need a ventless option they work wonderfully! Esp for us mountain folk who live off grid.
I live in the uk. Ventless dryers work and are super cool. I love mine. never going back to old fashioned vented dryers.
In Austria, there are almost only heat pump dryers where you have to clean the heat exchanger and filter regularly yourself. There is absolutely nothing to it if you are behind it. Exhaust air dryers are rarely available here as they are simply no longer up to date.
At least it’s on top of the washer so cleaning the primary vent is easier. She probably didn’t even know it had two lint traps
These are EVERYWHERE in Europe, and they’re great! As long as you clean the fluff out, they run for literal decades.
Uhm... Why this is so satisfying 😭🤚
I guess you'll love the "satisfying" video of them unclogging their sink as well
May I add, you need to check the water/drain reservoir as well and vacuumed it as sometimes i can clogged up the drain pump. Its a pain to access it but it can be done. Did it multiple times in my building, superintendent here. :)
We have no way to vent our dryer outside either. I put a flexible tube off the back end rounded it around towards the front and put a nylon on there to catch all the lint that comes out. In the summer I have all the windows open anyway so on the rare occasion that I used the dryer instead of hanging the clothes out it doesn't matter. In the winter I said a fan in the doorway of that room blowing into the more central area of the house and use the dryer exhaust as a warm air humidifier. Leaving this house for 4 years now and that's what I've done for 4 years with no issues at all.
I have one. Fun fact I am from germany and the "vents" of our ventless drier look nothing like these. Ours are way easier to clean out and we do it every cycle easily. We had to adapt because most houses (even new ones) don't have ventilation for driers. My drier is now 4 years old and we hadn't had one problem. 😊
With an electric dryer I used to put a 4-in hole in the middle of a 5 gallon bucket lid and then a bunch of smaller 2 and 1/2-in holes around the outside and you put about 3 inches of water in the bottom and hook your dryer vent host of that in the winter. Just remember you have to clean lint out of it and check the water
My condo doesn't have access to vent the dryer outside of the unit. Instead of a ventless dryer, i have a standard dryer with an indoor vent kit attached. It's a lot easier for me to remember to clean everything out and refill the water when i see the little bucket sitting right next to the unit every time i do laundry
Well damn! I didn’t know it came out. I’ve been using the vacuum to suck the dirt out 😂😂😂😂😂
Dosent any one read instructions anymore lol
Its called a condenser dryer, they are amazing tbf. Can heat the whole downstairs by 1/2°c rather than having the heat go outside, the water collects into a tank that you empty out in the sink
We call them condenser dryers over here in the UK. They are brilliant. So much less dust in your house! Wouldn't go back to vented
I have one of these (called a condenser dryer) it has a warning light on the front of it to say when the internal filter needs cleaned out.
I'd always recommend ventless over vented and if you can spend the extra, go for a heat pump dryer as they're super efficient. You just have to maintain them which is dead easy
I had one that washed and dried. It was installed where the dishwasher was. I was happy with it ,but it was slow. Took larger loads to the laundromat. For dress clothes and sheets was great.
watching this brought back so much ptsd. those are the worst 😂
You're also supposed to rinse the fins out too. For something that bad, find someone with a pressure washer or at least use a garden hose sprayer to clean it. My ventless dryer dried clothes just as fast as a regular dryer since it was not using a heat pump, plus it rotated the load in alternating directions indefinitely until I emptied the drum (which prevented wrinkles).
Thanks for clogging the sink now I could go fix it. Good teamwork
We have a stack and got a dehumidifier to suck up the moist air that comes out. Works like a charm.
i used the collected water to clean the condensor. The up no one talks about: in Winter the energy heats the house it is not vented out. not even a minute to clean it. Now i have a heatpump dryer. much more efficient, but also more work to clean.
Ventless driers are years ahead vented drivers, they work faster, they don't ruin your clothes, because they dry with vapor. Cleaning the condenser every now and then Isn't a chore, I just wash it in the tub, the lint filter is cleaned every time and the water I collect it as it's distilled water. Did I mention they use half the energy of a vented?
We have a vented dryer, where we should probably have a ventless one. The upside is it warms and humidifies the house during the winter.
Condenser dryers work perfectly fine so long as you maintain them correctly.
I didn't know about this being an option. I think it's really important to consistently clean vents in the dryer.
i was called to clean one of these one time, opened the panel water poured out
totally agree, if you can avoid these do so
I had one in Germany it worked just as well as a vented dryer. I had to empty the water tank after 2-3 loads
Its a condensor dryer, not specifically used where it cant be vented. Its more power efficient.
I love my little condenser drier, but they are more demanding than vented ones for sure. Especially considering I’ve got ten cats a home, the condensing unit gets fluffy real fast.
Had all 3 types, heat pump condenser dryer recommended every time
They've called condenser dryers in Ireland 🇮🇪. I have one in my apartment & I find it good.
The background music is my wake up alarm.
It's a condenser dryer and they work brilliant with regular monitoring. Empty the water tank and clean the lint catcher
Heat pump dryers are much better than any dryer if you actually look after it, which is simple, clean the filter and empty the water tank after every use, they are cheaper to run, better at drying cloths, and dosnt fog up the room with humidity, their soo much better we have 3 2 in mom's house and 1 in dads, their amazing
Lil bro has a contract with the local plumber to drum up business
I have an electric dryer (very common in Australia) it vents into the room.
In Europe we mostly use ventless. Never had any issues
Heat pump dryer, not ventless. It uses a dehumidifier to dry the clothes instead of gas or electricity. They are way more efficient and should replace electric and gas dryers entirely. The "ventless" part is just a bonus.
My ventless dryer has a filter that totally comes apart and it's very easy to clean.
The whole of australia functions perfectly without having to put random holes through the walls for vents. Vacuuming or for dryers.. theres no issue with a 1 minute clean
Don’t lie; it’s not that they don’t work as well, they just work different. You were right about how there’s different situations where you would need one, but don’t tell people they’re worse.
Am I the only one here who's lived my whole life without a dryer of any kind and never felt like I need one?
It’s called a condenser dryer, not a ventless. If you you do buy one. Get the heat pump version over the traditional heater coil models. A lot safer and very little chance of fires, due to how the heat is generated.
I sure that no one is using that tea filter again
A ventless (or condensing, to call it by its proper name) dryer is far superior. The condensed water is perfect for use in steam irons and instead of wasting the exhausted heat by blowing it outside, it can be used to keep the room warm.
Regular maintenance is the key so I can see why the yanks shy away from them a little.
I didnt know vented dryers even existed lmaoo its an insane concept that dryers would need a fucking dedicated venting system. just get one with a lint tray. clean that out every time and youre good whats the issue. it literally only spins and makes clothes hot to dry them.
I've never seen one of these. 😅 Only dryers were you pull it out and clean the lint every time you use it.
I have one this vented dryers. And if read the instruction book would told you this. And not an issue emptying the water storage.
We had one, yes it doesn't dry as quick or as well as a vented dryer and lots of condensation in the small utility room we were glad when it broke down, we have gone back to vented dryer we much happier with the vented dryer btw we've in UK every thing in UK is my expensive apart from the wage's 😮
The apartment complex I just recently moved into has all ventless dryers
In germany we only have ventless dryers or at least I haven’t seen anything different and they work perfectly fine even when they are 20+ Years old.
this thing is so easy to clean tho. Just pop it under your shower/bathtub hose once every two months. If it's not this clogged it rinses out perfectly every time.
These also don’t dump all your heated or air conditioned air to the outside by creating negative pressure on your home when they vent.
This is the only style of dryer available in the Netherlands as far as I know. It is not better or worse. It’s just different.
Meiel tumble dryer, and condenser dryers are more energy efficient then vented dryers, although more expensive to buy and repair
I call this a condenser dryer and prefer it over the vented dryers. I take mine out once a month and use a knitting needle to push all the fluff out and then rinse it out
Never saw vented dryers before watching your videos. Almost all dryers here in germany are ventless. You just have to clean the dust out after every drying cycle.
This is a standard in finland...vented dryers are more used in industrial applications.
Used to be very popular here in the Netherlands, a bit more efficient than dumping warm air outside… nowadays everybody uses an heat pump dryer…
In Australia we call them. Condenser Dryer
Same in ireland
You got one thing wrong: you don’t need to remove the water that’s extracted from your clothes, it does that for you by purging into the washer drain. Regular maintenance is critical though if these things are to work properly. My only beef with the one I own is its capacity. Otherwise it’s a pretty nifty application.
I have one of these and for the last year it doesn't dry well at all. I keep all the filters clean but I think there is some part that is clogged in the back that keeps turning the dryer off after 5 minutes.
I hate to break it to you but america is living in the past ventless drier are all over europe. Its the standard. Its very rare to find a vented dryer.
Ventless dryers are much more efficient. The heat exchanger has to be cleaned regularly. They work as well as vented dryers.
In Europe the ventless dryers are the best and used for decades. The USA is a 3rd world country so don't blame your shitty drywalled homes with vent outlets and those crappy ventless dryers over there.. here the Miele heatpump of condensed dryers are the top of the line and perfom way better than vented dryers, it's all about regular maintenance like all applicances
Installing a vent takes you a week and costs 10 thousand dollars, so I can see why you'd think that. But vents are better. Go to a laundromat, you'll see what they use.
Dirty American here. Condenser types were never as popular here because most homes were new enough to have a vent, our varied climates mean they don’t work as well in many parts of the country, and our standard dyer sizes are too big to work well with a condenser design.
BUT! Heat pump dryers are getting increasingly popular, as they have the energy savings of condenser types without the humidity issues, and can be made in larger sizes Americans are more used to. Especially with Natural Gas being phased out in many places, that efficiency is a big deal for people and a major selling point.
As for me, living in a smaller Apartment, I adore my Miele W1/T1 units - but over here a wash/dry set from Miele is $3,000, easily twice the cost of larger “luxury” heat pump units from LG or Samsung. Of course, it will last 3x as long, and I got mine as floor models so I only paid 1/3rd the MSRP price…but I get why they aren’t as common here. Most stores don’t even carry the brand at all.
Funny thing where i live vent dryers are not allowed because of the pollution 😁
While here in Straya, we don’t use vented dryers at all
lie. both are great it's the user who needs an upgrade. clean the dam thing each use and the rest on a schedual per machine. me every 2 weeks I do the full thing but ours in Australia or just the cheap brands I've bought are so simple to clean and dries so well and lives past 3 yrs lol
I had a call a few years ago on a miele ventless dryer not drying. Found that the condensate pump had failed, there was about 2 gallons of water in the internal vents and the heat exchanger was packed with lint. Weirdest part, it never leaked on the floor or inside
When did Americans coin this term ventless? It's called a condenser dryer. We've had them in Europe for decades. I haven't seen a "vented" dryer in a UK home since 1987. Uses lots of electricity, shrinks clothes and causes fires when not maintained. Condensers work fine, if you have trouble using one then the drum is overloaded.
Servicing the condensate pump is a real treat. Had a different one catch on fire last week. Is there anything that Germany makes that's worth a shite?
Ventless dryers are quite common in my country!
Realistically, ventless dryers are the future, so many housefires are started, because Vent are so dirty
