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.

How to Pick the Best Electric Dryers for Your Home?
When you go shopping to pick out a new dryer, you might be overwhelmed by the number of choices available. However, with a basic understanding of the two main types of electric dryers, you'll be able to choose the perfect dryer in no time. The most common types of electric dryers are vented dryers and condenser dryers. Vented dryers expel heat through a venting system that must have an outdoor release. Condenser dryers reuse their own heat, running it through a cycle of steam and water vapor that cools and reheats in order to generate energy. In order to choose the right dryer for your home, you need to determine what kind of system you already have in place, where you want to put your dryer and how much you're willing to spend.It's important to understand what kind of system you already have in place before looking at electric dryers. If you already have a venting system set up, it might be easiest to choose a vented dryer, which will also cost less upfront. However, if you currently have a condenser dryer, it could be extremely costly and difficult to set up the venting system. Typically, it is best to purchase a new dryer that is the same type as the one you're replacing. People who are buying their first dryers should think about whether it would be easier to set up the venting for a vented dryer or the piping needed for a condenser dryer.You'll also need to decide where you want to put your dryer within the house, as this might play a large part in your decision. Vented dryers must be placed near an external wall. They must be able to directly release heat outside through this vent. Condenser dryers offer greater flexibility. When you use this type of electric dryers, you can put the dryer almost anywhere in your house, as long as it has the ability to receive water through a piping system.The type of electric dryers you choose will also be dependent upon how much money you want to spend upfront. Typically, vented dryers are cheaper than condenser dryers. However, they cost more to maintain over a lifetime. Because condenser dryers recycle heat, they use less energy overall. A condenser dryer could be a solid investment that will cut down your heating bills.
