A clothes dryer is an appliance used to remove moisture from washed clothing and textiles. It works by tumbling the wet items in a rotating drum while blowing hot air through them. This process helps to evaporate the water, leaving the clothes dry and ready to wear. Most clothes dryers come in two main types: vented and ventless. Vented dryers expel moist air outside, while ventless dryers use a heat exchanger to condense moisture and collect it in a reservoir. Clothes dryers are commonly found in homes and are often used in conjunction with a washing machine for efficient laundry care.
