Condenser dryers operate in a similar way as heat pump dryers. They use an electrical element to heat the air and then expel the moisture through a condensation tray. They are usually heavy-duty dryers with higher wet load capacities, ranging from 6kg to 10kg. They also operate more quietly.

Maintenance

Instead the warm air that passes through your clothes is collected and absorbed inside the appliance and then it is pushed through a condenser to separate the hot water from the cool air and collect it in a water tank (sometimes called a reservoir) inside the machine. It is necessary to empty the water tank eventually however, you can keep the dryer in the same place as if you installed vents.
