Who is using a ventless (heat pump or condensing) dryer?

I spent around $2000 on an LG WM3988HWA combo washer dryer that runs on 120 volt and Ventless Condensing Drying System , plus I got a similar new LG dishwasher with the same Ventless Condensing Drying System so I'm hoping that will reduce the power bill a lot more. Damn it costs so much to save energy.
I got my unit installed and did an avg load of laundry .. uses a bit over 11 gallons of water per load, used 2.25 kWh of electricity maxed out at 1595 watts avg less then 1000 watts, and no wasting heat to vent from both the dryer and the house.. with my power costing less the $0.06 a kWh this load was $0.133 cents to do start to finish.
I am very happy with both units, the only real drawbacks are that doing a load of laundry takes about 4 hours and the room gets hotter in the summer.
