We have a Blomberg ventless. No tank, condensed H2O goes into the same drain as the washer. Had it 3+ years, it’s been great.
I have the same washer and dryer and I love them. I've also had them for a little over three years. I think they do a great job and my clothes always come out clean. It takes a little longer than a vented dryer. But that doesn't inconvenience me.
Can you add a ventless to the drain system long after construction or does it need to be set up initially for this kind of unit? And, are they quiet?
@@MaryJohnson777 Mine was added long after construction. You need a plumber. The bathroom is on the opposite side of the wall and it drains down the same drain as the sink. So I guess you need a drain pipe nearby, like a bathroom sink or a kitchen sink.
@@MaryJohnson777 Answer to #1: this dryer was added to the laundry room in 2018, well after it was built in 1973. All that was required was for the drain pipe to accommodate a hose about 1/2” alongside the regular washer drain hose. No problem there. Answer to #2: nor silent, but quieter than the dryer it replaced, a conventional vent Whirlpool.
we loved this in our studio on the coast which was cold and foggy; it supplemented our heat!
To anyone out there looking for condensation dryers, avoid Bosch like the plague! Have had a few generations of them and they are the worst. Electrolux (shown in this video) is better though I hear newer ones from Samsung and LG are improved, and Miele if you can afford it. Bosch 300 and 800 series take forever to dry, warm up the room they’re in by about 10-15 degrees since a lot of heat seeps out, and cleaning the heat exchange on the bottom must be done often- a wet lumpy linty job that makes a mess. They also don’t alternate directions when drying like most dryer brands do so your clothes and sheets end up in a tangled mess.
I bought a condo that has this model washer and dryer. I learned a lot.
This was really helpful thank you
Thanks for the review.
We have this exact ventless dryer. It is ok for drying. We are blessed to finally get so ething in our situation.
Like he says it takes a long time to dry. If i accidentally leave clothes or sheets in it they smell bad… and get damp and I have to rewash them.
You have to empty the reservoir that collects water…and the filter underneath he shows…and wash it off too. Overall It works a d we are grateful to have it.
Wheeze did you order it from please?
Thank you 😊
I appreciate you taking the time from your day too educate us.
He is not doing it for charity Lorena. He is doing it to build trust with you so you will buy something from his company in the future.
Thanks for this!
Thank you for this video. I always wondered how ventless dryers worked!
This guy doesn't seem to know how they work lol
I have this same exact model and had no idea what type of dryer I had nor did I know there are different variants.👍🏻
What is the model number?
Good to know, and that was a great description of how they work. Thank you!
Great info thanks for sharing. I have a small condo, which ventless dryer, in your opinion is the best to buy?
Can you recommend any dryers that are 4 cu. ft. or larger that are ventless and are 120v and are not going to break the bank. I need a 120v dryer for apartment use and preferably ventless so we don’t have to worry about venting out a window.
Thank you.
Thank you,
Would be nice if you looked at a bigger heat pump dryer.
Good review.
Great video 😊😊😊😊😊
How long actually does it take to dry
I love this idea. In two years there are going to be so many of these broken I'll be able to pick one up on craigslist for less than $100. I got my 2 year old LG washer that way.
Great way to get someone else's bedbugs....
@@jerrypelletier2328 They are killed by heat. Not sure how high a temp these heat pumps get to.
I think you're supposed to empty it. If not then there's not much difference in just running a regular electric dryer directly into the house.
Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥
This is a terrible explanation. Check out the This Old House explanation. He never mentioned that it consumes 50% of the power!
@@PanaLumberjack I was thinking the same thing when he said, "if you have a full size set up in your house, you don't want this because it will take a lot longer." Personally, I would not mind it taking longer to dry a load if it saves me 2/3 the energy of vented dryer! Nonetheless, I appreciate the information about how it functions and how to maintain this type of dryer.
So they reuse the heat. But why does my bathroom still get really hot when the dryer is running? I always have to open a windows. Are vented dryers better at this? I've never experienced one.
Perhaps your bathroom vent has no damper and is pulling in too much air from the negative pressure.
Is this a portable ventless dryer? I have a 2 bedroom apt, how well would this work
I have a ventless dryer like he say takes more time to dry the clothes
So the machine isn't portable in the sense that it's on wheels. The ventless system does allow the machine to be placed in areas where you would not be able to vent such as the kitchen. All of the compact washers and dryers are about the size of a dishwasher to give a point of reference. I have a Miele compact washer (but not the dryer) and you can actually fit quite a bit in these compact 2.4-2.5 cubic feet washers. The dryer should able to handle what the washer can handle. The drying time is longer due to the way it removes moisture from the air. I know that doesn't say how long but it usually depends on the moisture level of the fabrics. If you have the matching washer, they tend to spin quite fast and remove quite a bit of water before going into the dryer.
Mkayyy
Is it 220v or 110?
The water does not evaporate oh God help us that’s a tank that has to be removed and drained into the sink. I wish these people knew what they were talking about when they describe things. I know he tries his best but speak to somebody who owns the machine first before making a video. It does not take that much longer than a regular dryer to dry. I have a regular dryer, and I have this condenser dryer this exact model.
@Nicole D'Antoine No having a drain into the hose or using the container has no affect on drying time I use the container and I’ve had no problems.
When I tried hooking it up the other way, the water backed from the washer as it drained I had water all over the floor.
so don’t worry using the container doesn’t speed it up or slow it down. sometimes I could do four loads and the container is not completely filled to the brim, I just automatically do it even if I do one load.
Yep. He definitely has no idea what he's talking about, especially someone whos in the appliances business.
@@petermaz701 so you can just fill the container underneath and do not have to have this hooked directly to a cold water line? Then you empty the container.
Its basically a cordless washer dryer unit you keep the water filled up in? Is it much louder than a normal combo Štack?
@@raylong2215 A condenser dryer is a dryer that you don’t have to vent outside the water it collects while it’s drying your clothes is put into a container at the top of the dryer and you drain that container by pulling it out and dumping it into the sink. It doesn’t have to be drained after each drying cycle you could probably do about three or four dry cycles or loads before it has to be drained. It is not any noisier than a regular dryer.
@Nicole D'Antoine Making it drain through the hose or using the container box is the exact same amount of time drying it has absolutely no effect. If it’s a condenser dryer There is no venting it automatically vents into your home it does create heat understand that you will find wherever it is it’s going to get very warm great for the winter not so good for the summer.
Good video, very quiet though.. and my laptop volume only goes so high.
how about if electric is 34-45 cents a kwh?
OK!
How long it takes to dry
3 hours…and the clothes are still damp when you take them out.
Okay
Do they use alot of electricity?
About 4 to 5kwh per cycle.
M’kay
How long is “takes a lot longer”
Please?
your English is terrible
Tom, that depends on the model. I’ve heard people say that some models take around 2 hours and other models take around 4 hours.
@@CSWRB my heat pump drier takes from 1 to 2 depending on cottons or synthetic. Never more than 2. I have an electrolux.
@@cosettapessa6417 I had a Whirlpool compact heat pump ventless dryer it took a load of towels 100 minutes (1hr40min) but the heat was never hot, I loved how it dried everything, never any static or fabric softener needed.
mmm'kay
Ok
This video needs an update.
So the water evaporates into the room. It will get damp? Yes?
It collects in a trey you goof, try watching the video
@@xfhnhhgjbvcfg 03:00 the water will evaporate he says YOU GOOF.
I cant believe you keyboard warriors stupidity. Yes it collects in the tray and then it evaporates.
Jesus the stupidity of some people...... It was a simple question....
@@et8893 you are correct , my apologies! this guy is a fucking moron. You can either set it up so it pumps into the washer drain or you manually empty the tray.
So to answer your question no the room will not get damp because the water will never evaporate it would sit there until it got full and then the machine wouldn't run because it would know that the collection bin is full and then the water would sit there and get moldy it would take a year for that amount of water to evaporate.
I did a bunch of research on these and it looks like most of these are garbage and it's just better off running the 240v circuit.
People will also say it saves you money however everything I'm reading says that it cost about $0.40 to dry a load of laundry which equates to about $185 a year.
Saving $185 a year to deal with this nonsense is stupid plus this dryer cost alot more.
They make a version of this dryer that actually has a compressor like a refrigerator and not that goofy little heat exchanger.
It's like $2,500 to buy it so at that point you might as well just have the 240 circuit installed.
@@xfhnhhgjbvcfg Thank my friend. You actually answered my question.
I appreciate your time and effort. Yes I think for the price its overkill to save peanuts. Thanks again.
What i mean im been using this condenser dryer 12 years now . U talking like is something new. Vent dryers are very old technology not many people use them anymore
Does a ventless dryer increase the humidity in your home?
Water is collected in a holding tank that has a drain hose. Goes into your washer drain.
I’m my case of living in studio it does increase room temperature by 5 degrees.It’s next to my bathroom so just turn exhaust fan on.
@@damian4727 Wow! That is a lot 🫤
@@susanc3519 Kind of,On top of that the combo washer and dryer make enough noise that you have raise your tv volume.The dryer is making screeching noises when drying after 7 months of use.Guess the dryer belt has to be replaced.Just glad I don’t own this things 😂
Yes it does. But if u buy heat pump dryer is the best no humidity no heat in house
Wireless mics are a wonderful thing…if you use them.
Yes but does it work?
Yea we have Bosch ventless dryers in my apartment complex they don't dry anything probably flaws in the design...it's trash
Water has to go somewhere
Mine only works for 5 mins and just stops
Put it on the timer there is a video on you tube. Helped me alot now it works fine.
Let’s see a unit thats actually been used. They tried this crap years ago it was trash. This will clog up with wet lint.
You have to lose you weight ok?
Wow what a crap review of a ventless dryer. Never mentions how much energy you can save, describes things in an obtuse and confusing way and describes it as small and slow.
Oh you dont want this they suck! What total crap.
Microphones aren't that expensive. If you're going to post videos, go buy one.
Okay! 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok
