If you\u2019re tired of laundromats, you may want an apartment with laundry in unit<\/a> or a new laundry machine. This is a major decision because choosing the wrong machine for your needs could be a costly endeavor. Clothes dryers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with different functions, price points, and benefits. Two main types of dryers include vented versus ventless dryers. Vented dryers have been popular in America for decades, but in recent years, ventless dryers have risen in popularity due to their energy efficiency and small size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vented Dryers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These types of dryers are the traditional appliances used in the United States for clothes drying. They require a way to output air into the outdoors (thus being \u201cvented\u201d). These vented dryers take in air from the room, heat it and dry the clothes in the drum, then expel the hot air outside. This way of drying clothes is fast and effective but is energy inefficient and harmful to the environment. <\/a>In some places in Europe, such as Switzerland, vented dryers are illegal<\/a> because of their environmental impact. Air pollution from vented dryers is \u201csignificant\u201d but can be mitigated through the use of dryer sheets, appliance filtration, and fabric softener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
