Is it possible, or are there any benefits, to venting an electric dryer? Specifically a Bosch Axxis model.

Yes, that was my post, accidentally posting under "Sales."
So I'd love some insight if anyone has any on this topic. Thanks.

It is possible to vent an electric dryer. I believe the most notable benefit is faster dry time/energy savings. Currently, it takes my LG unit roughly 1:20 for each dry load. You can't pack the machine either.

Yup, I have a ventless dryer and it is pretty useless.

Brilliant. Like having a toilet that only swirls but not flushes and then wondering why it stinks.

There have been threads here about vented vs. unvented. If you can do vented, it is always going to be faster and more powerful drying.

I have a ventless Miele dryer and while it often takes 1.5-2 drying cycles, it still works. It plugs into a 220v outlet. I find this to be very convenient because I can still do laundry in my apartment.

They also have all-in-one Washers and dryers which plug into 110v outlets. They are very popular in Asia. They can get the job done if you need it but I believe that people tend to dry for multiple hours for each load.

I have an American Standard flushless toilet. It works great.
