I bought this ventless dryer as part of a compact stacking set, in order to fit into a small space. I had never used one before, but heard that they are popular in European countries. I like it so far. The clothes are very soft and nice smelling, with no static electricity, despite not using fab soft sheets. I just have to empty a water catchment cintainer at the end of each load, that slides in and out of the upper left corner of the dryer. Amazing. Clothes are not a bone dry as with a vented dryer, but dry enough.
