vented dryer

Ducted clothes dryer

A vented dryer is a clothes dryer that expels hot, moist air through a duct to the outside of a building.

This distinguishes it from ventless dryers, which condense moisture internally or use heat pumps.

Most traditional home dryers are vented: The vented dryer needs a clear path to the exterior wall.
