A laundry dryer comprising: • a cabinet including a plinth portion defining an inner plinth volume internal to the cabinet; • a first door arranged in the plinth portion of the cabinet; • a drum rotatably supported in the cabinet ; • a duct defining a flow passage for process air exiting the drum ; • a filter assembly (30, 30', 30", 80) positioned in a duct section located in the inner plinth volume so as to filter process air flowing therein, said filter assembly being at least partly located behind the first door ; • said filter assembly (30, 30', 30", 80) including: o a frame defining an inner frame volume and having a frame shape; o a filter supported by the frame and defining a first filtering surface ; o a cleaning device positioned within said inner frame volume for cleaning the first filtering surface including a slidable wiper to wipe the first filtering surface ; o said slidable wiper having a shape mating the frame shape of the inner frame volume so that it can be translated with respect to the frame so as to wipe the first filtering surface , said cleaning device further including a fluff collector apt to collect filtered material removed from the first filtering surface when the wiper is translated onto such first filtering surface ; characterized in that said fluff collector is integral to said slidable wiper . • a cabinet including a plinth portion defining an inner plinth volume internal to the cabinet; • a first door arranged in the plinth portion of the cabinet; • a drum rotatably supported in the cabinet ; • a duct defining a flow passage for process air exiting the drum ; • a filter assembly (30, 30', 30", 80) positioned in a duct section located in the inner plinth volume so as to filter process air flowing therein, said filter assembly being at least partly located behind the first door ; • said filter assembly (30, 30', 30", 80) including: o a frame defining an inner frame volume and having a frame shape; o a filter supported by the frame and defining a first filtering surface ; o a cleaning device positioned within said inner frame volume for cleaning the first filtering surface including a slidable wiper to wipe the first filtering surface ; o said slidable wiper having a shape mating the frame shape of the inner frame volume so that it can be translated with respect to the frame so as to wipe the first filtering surface , said cleaning device further including a fluff collector apt to collect filtered material removed from the first filtering surface when the wiper is translated onto such first filtering surface ; o a frame defining an inner frame volume and having a frame shape; o a filter supported by the frame and defining a first filtering surface ; o a cleaning device positioned within said inner frame volume for cleaning the first filtering surface including a slidable wiper to wipe the first filtering surface ; o said slidable wiper having a shape mating the frame shape of the inner frame volume so that it can be translated with respect to the frame so as to wipe the first filtering surface , said cleaning device further including a fluff collector apt to collect filtered material removed from the first filtering surface when the wiper is translated onto such first filtering surface ; <EOS>
