EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Who is using a ventless (heat pump or condensing) dryer?

I have a small 22watt peltier junction dehumidifier that is designed for keeping cars, closest's and under sinks dry that I toss under my wood drying rack, it seems to cut the drying time by a few hours at least and adds a little heat and air movement to the drying rack.
I have space for a dryer next to my washing machine but I haven't bothered to buy one yet, I like the looks of the Bosch ventless dryer, they apparently use the water collected to wash the condenser plate, the reviews I've read all seem to have people saying that they take forever to dry or that they never fully dry the cloths, I'm used to line drying and I've never owned a drier so I assume that it's just people who are used to driers taking 15 minutes to cook the cloths dry.
I have a vent hole already, but I don't have a gas line to my laundry room or an easy way to get one to it, but the Bosch is $800 to $1,000 more for the ventless version.
