Just an fyi...we were looking into one of these recently and my contractor totally steered me away from going ventless for the following reasons..

#1. He said it takes 2 to 3 times longer for drying.
#2. It adds a lot of moisture to the air in the the house.
#3. Ventless only came in small sizes / compact sizes.
#4. There is a place where water collects on the unit that must be drained.

Number 3 was enough to steer us in a different direction but I was surprised at all the other reasons as well...

Do you have one?? If so are the above statements true?? My contractor just about refused to go that route and said we would hate it!
