I know this has come up many, many times before; I've spent the last
hour or so reading about it, nut I'm still no closer to an answer.

We will soon be purchasing a tumble-dryer. It will be installed in our
utility/leanto. This is a poorly insulated, unheated room. I have easy
access to an outside wall for venting, and to a drain for condensor runoff.

I'm trying to decide which to go for. Main argument for venting is that
it seems to make more sense. Evaporate water, blow steam outside, end of
story. It feels right and sensible.

But, a condensing dryer would chuck out lots of heat into the room. This
is very desireable in this situation, since it would warm up the utility
room. My only concern is performance, they seem to get rather mixed reviews.

So, has anyone experienced both types, of a similar quality? Which one
performed better? By how much?


TIA
