Compact dryers are smaller, space-saving versions of traditional clothes dryers, designed for apartments or homes with limited laundry space. They typically have a capacity of 3 to 4 cubic feet, making them suitable for smaller loads. Many models are ventless, using a heat exchanger to dry clothes without the need for external venting, which simplifies installation. These dryers often feature multiple drying settings and energy-efficient options, helping to reduce electricity consumption. Compact dryers can be stacked with compact washers, creating a convenient laundry solution in tight spaces. They are ideal for individuals or small families looking for efficient laundry solutions.
