Tumble dryer with no vent?

Does it even exist? We only have one space where a new washer/dryer can go (we currently only have a washer) but there is nowhere to have an outlet/vent pipe jobby. I don't know if I'm imagining things but I swear I heard you can get them without the outlets, is this true and if so what are they called and can anyone recommend things to look out for?
Thanks in advance

Washer/Dryer requires no vent !! tad more expensive than a W.M.0 -
You can get a condenser box. The long floppy vent fits onto the condenser box - which is about 10" cubed... and it turns the steam back into water, which you just tip away,
About £10 I think
One old thread on them:

We have a Condensing dryer for illustration see
(this is not a recommendation) Hoover VHC180 WHITE Dryer

wouldn't go for a washer dryer. I had one drying took so long and very crumpled. Now have a condenser dryer due to space keep it in shed. Works well only use it when really have to. I did keep it in spare room for a while and had no problems with damp etc, it was just too easy to use all the time and run up electric bil.0

We have a condensor dryer and use it all the time. Get one which has a dryness sensor then it will switch off once the clothes are dry. Ours is a Bosch, a full load to cupboard dry takes about half an hour.
Increase in leccy bill was offset by installing low energy bulbs and turning off electrical items when not in use.0 -
One snag with condensor dryers is that they can make the air in the room quite a lot more humid.
Some of them only remove about 85% of the moisture from the air that they expell.0 -
I ditched a washer dryer (well I stopped using the dryer part) cos everythign got so creased.
I got a condenser dryer with a sensor to tell when the clothes were dry and it was marvellous. The house could get humid though so opening a small window just sorted that out.The best things in life are NOT free - but they sure are cheaper with MSE!:j0 -
I've had a washer dryer before which was fine for us and in our new house it's the only option. Thanks guys, I'll get looking0
