Tumble Dryer - is external venting required?

[Rags]

Hi,

Looking into getting a tumble dryer and was wondering if external venting is required.

Thanks

Condenser, no. Vented, yes. Is this a trick question?

Even if you buy a condensor dryer they still create a lot of heat

Just use a condenser box thing

or put the flexible hose out the window or back door.

Despite this, they do not need an external vent.

Nothing worse than an open window with a bit of hose hanging out.

Looks chavvy but works well though.

Ideal in mid January when it's 5 below and 6 inches of snow on the ground.
