Does this dryer have to be vented outside

Hey there. No. It doesn't need to be vented outside but I found that if I don't, the windows get steamed up on the cold glass. AS month back I was able to have my windows open and I had no trouble. I am using a "Indoor Lint Trap Filter" that cost about $35 bucks from Amazon. I love it but I am going to work on a way to vent it out my window for the winter. I use the dryer about 4 times each week sense I got it and I have not seen any real increases in my electrical bill. Love it. One other thing to add. Keep the internal lint filter clean and you'll get little to none lint out the hose. I used my girlfriends knee high stockings over the end of the exhaust opening and I have not seen any lint at all. I empty the inside lint filter after every load. Best of luck with your purchase and happy Thanksgiving. Hope this helps.

Yes. the line is actually larger than a dryer vent. this product works good for its size, however, it is a bit noisey.

Yes it does need to be ventilated but it only takes me about 5 minutes to do that . All your doing is running a hose out the window .

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.

YES - all portables air conditioners need to vent through a window. A vent kit comes with the unit so you can easily - very easily install the kit in most windows - sliders or the up/down windows. The hose I do not use. It is for the purpose of allowing continuous draining into a small pan. Instead I simply unscrew the drainage plug at the bottom of the unit to let any water (condensation) come out. After running the unit all night on about 68 degrees, the amount of water is about 1/4 of a cup. It's a great unit and I am well pleased with it.

Though it is not vented outside, the moisture issue can be mitigated with an inexpensive dehumidifier. Though this will have some energy cost to operate the dehumidifier, the energy all ends up as useful heat plus you also recover the energy from condensing the water, so it's not as bad as it might seem.

Mine has a vent, rather like a dryer vent on the outside (external) wall. I would think it would protect the fan from rain. It vents into an attached storage shed or "closet" that is stuccoed with a steel door that protects my fan from the elements. I'd be sure it can be used outside or that it's well sheltered.

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

It is made to be ventless and works great. Not sure how you would vent it to the outside, you would be losing heat.

Yes, the exhaust can be vented to the outside of the house. I do not know how many CFM.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

There is a vent hose that exhausts the heated air to the outdoors -- this can be either in a window, or thru the wall, similar to a clothes dryer vent.
