Very cool that these exists. I had no idea. But I'm just your typical stupid American.

However, it looks like they're about 3x the cost of a vented dryer.

And smaller capacity than vented ones.

> Ventless dryers also take longer to get your clothes dry. A vented dryer might finish a Normal load in about 45-50 minutes, but a condenser or heat pump dryer could run for an hour and a half. Want to dry a bulky blanket or comforter? You could be waiting more than three hours.

I've never waited 3 hours for our dryer to dry anything - in fact even a heavy blanket doesn't take more than an hour.

Do you live in a humid climate? I wonder if that impedes on the dry time at all (having to dry out the air before drying out the clothes drying in the air).

Scotland - I wouldn't say "humid" - just miserably damp. :-|

Maybe it's the 240V mains supply?

We send 240V to our dryers here, too.

[jessaustin]

Yes, but it's a "special" circuit that has to be wired specifically for that purpose.

That really shouldn't matter, though. 240V input is 240V input.
