Hello all & thank you in advance for any help. I'm looking for a 110 voltage electrical "No vent" (aka ventless) clothes dryer of good quality & medium at least capacity. As with any investment of quality appliances, I would perfer to invest in a higher quality appliance that will endure time and proper use. And I'm willling to wait, compare & research for the exact appliance decision v. I live in an apartment and has become an inconvience with constant break down of community dryer to hauling wet washed loads of laundry to a public laundromat. I have reasearched various searches and used compare features but the specifics of what I'm looking for were not listed. I have called various local places for advice while discussing online web site models & info (i.e. Best Buy, Home Depot and searched online but very little info except one of the very small combo washer & dryer units). I prefer a larger model and would like to find more variety as with any enlightened shopper. Thank you again.

I have never actually seen a vent less dryer.
You have to trap and get rid of the moisture some how.
There are small vent traps that can be added to any dryer that can be used where venting a dryer the normal way is not possible.
Most home centers have these.
Otherwise, visit the web.
Most manufactures have a web site to help you.

Whatever your final choice--you still have to "vent" the machine out.What you may be thinking about is propably "the water barrel".You can buy this at lumber/hardware stores. A point to consider> you should operate this 110v dryer on its own circuit--since you live in a apt.--this may not be possible. You can operate it from any 110v wall plug--just be aware of lights dimming ,etc and other things plugged in also .A dryer is a heavy electric user and you should unplug anything else being used on that same electrical circuit. Another interesting point is that it will take between 3 and 4 times longer to dry the clothes compared to a 220v dryer. You would think that it would be half , but the math proves this wrong.

Google 110 volt clothes dryer and you will find a variety of them. Many people put the vent in a container of water..they say it works well. I have been told that a 110 volt dryer will cost more to run than a 220.
