Forgive the possibly stupid question but, do all t. driers need to have a vent opening to outside? i.e. a hose to let the heat out? I am thinking of getting one but my utility is in the middle of the house with no direct access to outside - short of knocking hole in wall and running hose thru kitchen and out

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
No you can also have a condenser drier which requires no outside vent. The water collects instead in a little plastic pull out container which you empty from time to time.

Correct, we have a Whirlpool drier, and it requires no vent, as Vanilla said the plastic pull out tray holds all the water.
 
They are more efficient for sure, but if you can't knock a hole in your wall then you will have to go with the other option.Other than that run a flexi pipe from the back of the drier to a window and just put away again after use, bit of hassle but it's another option.
 
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the advice, must get one as it just seems that everytime someone has called to the house recently I have had clothes practically hanging from the rafters!!! and what with winter coming the clothes line wont get much use!!!!
 
Best be aware that most people complain that their bills jump quite a lot when they use their drier but you can check it out for yourself [broken link removed]
