Discover Ventless Drying with LG Dryers

Posted on by

If it has been a while since you purchased a new dryer, there have been changes in technology, so that you no longer require a dryer vent, like with LG ventless dryers. Vented electric drying is not very energy efficient. It requires drawing in room temperature air, passing it over a heating element to the preset temperature, and them releasing it into the drum to help remove moisture and dry the clothes. Once the air leaves the drum, it is forced down a dryer vent rather than being recycled and reused. This process has to start over, with more air being drawn in, heated, and so on, which uses a large amount of electricity.

Recycling Air Is a Key Feature of Ventless LG Dryers

One of the key features of ventless drying is recycling the air and reusing it to make drying cycles much more efficient. As a result, you end up using a fraction of the electricity to dry your clothes with a ventless model than a conventional vented dryer. It should be mentioned there is a noticeable difference in cycle times, where ventless dryers run for a longer period of time. However, this does not mean they are using more electricity. In fact, the increase in cycle time is the result of the complex recycling processes and the way moisture is extracted from your clothes.

Energy Efficient Stand-Alone and Combination LG Washers

Posted on by

You have different options when it comes to selecting new frontloading LG washers. Some people prefer a stand-alone model that they can set next to a dryer, or to stack the dryer on top of the washing machine. A compact model is very energy efficient to help save you money on your water bills and electric bills. Full wash cycles only require 9.3 gallons of water, compared to around 30 gallons for other frontloading models.

Another option is the innovative LG washer dryer combo. This type of machine is already popular in other areas of the world, like the United Kingdom, because it combines both washing and drying functions into a single, space-saving model. Other advantages with an all-in-one model are the energy-efficient benefits you experience. These models use half the water, electricity, and space as conventional laundry pairs.

A combination model is well suited for homes, apartment complexes, and condominiums with small laundry rooms, or those without any existing laundry connections. Because of the advanced technologies used in these machines, no dryer vents are required, nor any special dryer electrical outlets. The only connections needed are hot and cold water, a discharge drain, and a standard 110V outlet. There are options for converting the machine so it can be connected directly to your kitchen sink any time you want to do laundry.
