Condenser dryers remove moisture from the laundry by transferring hot air into a separate condensing unit, which converts it into water. This water is then drained away either into a removable container that must be manually emptied or can be plumbed into your drainage system for continuous removal. This allows for greater flexibility in the installation locations, but you will need to prepare for extra maintenance by ensuring that the drain pipe is in good shape.
