My dryer takes three hours because it is ventless (aka worthless). A regular load of laundry takes 4.5 hours to wash and dry. It’s the worst appliance I have ever had the displeasure of operating. It has no redeeming qualities. Sometimes it doesn’t even dry the laundry.

Some ventless dryers work really well. We have a Bosch 800 series and it works nearly as well and almost as quick as the electric vented dryer it replaced. On the other hand, we owned a Siemens ventless and I don't think it ever dried a piece of clothing.

Thanks, this is a rental so I didn’t get to shop around. I’ll give ventless dryers another chance if I am ever in a purchasing position.

For anyone else in the market avoid Blomberg. Specifically never buy https://www.blombergappliances.com/products/24-ventless-heat....

Bosch and Siemens is the same company (BSH, Bosch Siemens Home Appliances).

I also have a ventless, but it is a washr/dryer all-in-one unit.

It probably also takes 4.5 hours to wash and dry, but I wouldn't know because it happens when I'm sleeping (which just happens to be the same time as the ultra-low time-of-day electricity rates where I live) . It's pretty great. Definitely recommend.

My laundry room is under my bedroom so the noise is disruptive. Especially when the anti-wrinkle setting runs for three hours on a load of towels.
