VENTED DRYER - Warm, moist air is expelled from the
machine via a venting kit.
It is essential that this air is vented outside; therefore the appliance must be situated near an outside wall or window.

Making it possible to site this anywhere in your home.
There are two types of dryers one with manual timers where you set the time and then keep returning to check when the clothes are dry this is a bit of a guessing game or by purchasing a Sensor Dryer (available in vented and condenser style) You can select the level of dryness required from Ironing to cupboard dry The dryer will sense the humidity within the drum and will switch off when the clothes are dried to the level specified. Although more expensive to buy initially you will recoup this cost over the years in saved electricity not to mention easier ironing as clothes won’t be over dried.
