Condenser dryers

In a condenser dryer, the moisture from your clothes is evaporated into water in the tumble drum. The water is then placed in a condensation tank inside the appliance which you need to empty regularly. Contrary to vented models, they don't require an attachment to an exhaust duct outside, so you can place them anywhere in your garage or home. They also have a lower noise than vented dryers.

A condenser dryer is likely to have an "cool" setting that reduces the temperature of drying so that your clothes last longer. This helps them not shrink. They could also have auto-cleaning that automatically cleanses the inside of your drum once every 4-5 drying cycles and clears out any lint that accumulates during use. Some models even inform you when your laundry is dry to prevent over-drying.

They depend on dry, hot air to evaporate moisture. Your clothes will therefore be exposed to higher temperatures over a longer time. If you opt for a vented dryer it is recommended to regularly clean the lint filter and follow the recommended settings for your dryer by the manufacturer, as this will help you to save energy and prolong the life of your machine.

Ventilated dryers typically work by blowing hot, moist air over the clothes being tumbling. The air is then blown out to the outside. It's a straightforward process that is effective, but it uses lots of electricity. It can also be problematic in some homes, where the vent is not readily accessible or it is not in the right place.

For this reason, smaller, 24-inch dryers which are often known as compact vented dryers in the US are often the best option for European households. These dryers are smaller in drum size and 4-6kg capacity, so they can be placed in the smallest laundry rooms.

Heat pump dryers

A heat pump dryer makes use of closed loop technology to transfer energy in a process that's entirely contained within the dryer. It can be installed anywhere in the house, as it does not require a vent for the humid air to be ejected. This includes the basement, bedroom or laundry room.

Then it is passed over another set of coils where moisture is condensed and drained. The air that is in the drum after being blown into the dryer has less moisture. This lower temperature air is more effective at getting rid of water from your clothes and is gentler on fragile items like elastics.

This process takes a little longer than the traditional vented dryer, however, it's much more efficient and helps to reduce the carbon footprint of your laundry. As NYC's electric grid moves from half natural gas to a larger percentage of renewable energy sources, this kind of dryer is a great way to take advantage of those newer greener energy sources.
