What difference does this make? I'll tell you!
You may not know this but you can spend a lot of money in energy consumption heating or cooling your home during the winter and summer months. A vented (or what you would consider a normal) dryer pumps your expensively heated or conditioned air outside at a surprisingly high rate.
Think of it like this: You paid a lot of money for that air to be heated or cooled and it'll be pumped straight out of your home by a vented dryer. So you have to heat or cool more air to keep the climate in your home at a comfortable level, which costs more money!
Keeping the Warm Air Indoors
With a ventless (or vent free, or ductless) dryer, no air is pumped outside. It all stays where it is meant to stay: Indoors to keep you warm or cool depending on the season. That is money you just saved!
Depending on how often you use your clothes dryer during the colder months and you can bet you'll use it a whole load more than during the hotter months, you could be saving yourself a lot of money. You do that by conserving your warm indoor air by not having it pumped to the outside by a conventional dryer!
Side Benefits of Not Venting to the Outside
There are other side benefits to be had from not venting your precious warm indoor air to the outdoors. The main one of these is of course that your energy bills are reduced, but there are more ways you can benefit.
Think about the logistics aspect of not needing to have your clothes dryer permanently connected to an exterior port. For one, that makes it possible to re-site the appliance easily whenever you need to move things around.
You also save by not having to call out and pay for a professional to move your machine. You can do it yourself! Most portable models are light enough and on wheels so you can easily move them to wherever you want without having to mess around with all the hassle of disconnecting from the exterior exhaust outlet and connecting to a new one.
Even better is that you didn't even need to have that new vent punched through your wall and installed! That is another saving in terms of cost and of the mess and inconvenience of having that particular work done in your home.
So you see, owning a ventless portable clothes dryer doesn't just save you money (even though it can save you a considerable amount of it over time). It also saves you hassle and inconvenience while keeping any disruption to your daily family life to a minimum!
