What is the cost of using a condenser tumble dryer?
Condenser tumble dryers are becoming very popular because they can be placed anywhere in the drying area of your home and don't require connecting to a vent which goes to the outside of your house. Traditional vented tumble dryers do require a vent hose and therefore condenser tumble dryers are ideal for people who live in flats and apartments. A condenser tumble dryer works differently than a vented model in that the steam created in the drying process is condensed into water and collected into a water tank. An indicator on the dryer will alert you when the tank is full so it can be emptied. A vented tumble dryer converts the moisture removed from clothing to water which is expelled through a vent hose to the outside of the home. Some condenser dryers can be plumbed into your washing machine outlet system so the water can be pumped out through a shared route. Condenser tumble dryers are usually slightly more expensive than vented models but can work out cheaper in the long run as they can be very energy efficient as a result of the fact heat is recycled in the machine. If you don't want the hassle of installing a vent duct in your home, which limits where you can place your dryer, a condenser tumble dryer is probably your best option.
