Vented dryers are far more common than condenser dryers. The two look similar and perform the same function; the primary difference is that vented dryers have an external vent.<\/p>\n
Vented dryers work by drawing in air around them. That air is heated and blown through the machine as clothes tumble. Some of the warm, moist air is evaporated during the drying process, but the rest is exhausted through a vent leading to the outside of the home. <\/p>\n
Most vented dryers cost anywhere from $300 to $1,500. As with any appliance, the more money you spend, the more features you\u2019ll get. On the high end of that price range, you can expect to see features such as steam cycles, LED displays and a wide variety of settings. <\/p>\n

Condenser dryers, also called ventless dryers, do not have an external vent. Instead, warm air is passed through a heat exchanger to remove any moisture. That moisture is either collected in a separate container to be emptied later or drained through the washing machine plumbing. The dry air that remains is recirculated through the machine to continue the drying process. <\/p>\n
Generally, people opt for condenser dryers because they\u2019re unable to run an exhaust vent to the outdoors. Condenser dryers are ideal for city or apartment living, where venting can be difficult or impossible. <\/p>\n
Condenser dryers are more expensive than vented dryers. They start at about $600 and range up to $2,000 or more. As with conventional dryers, more expensive models have a wider range of features. <\/p>\n
