Our 3yr old Aquatronic dryer has just gone on the blink yet again, so
we intend to get a new one (probably Miele). The Aquatronic was a
Condenser which, though doing the job (when it worked), it did fill the
room with a fair bit of steam.
Tapping into expert knowledge here, would it be better to go back to a
vented dryer, are they more efficient/reliable? Don't mind bashing a
hole in the wall ( my earlier ones had a pipe through the door but I
Wouldn't go back to that method.)

We've had a Miele tumble dryer in daily use for about 12 years and
this one vents to the outside.

It had one fault in early life (a failed on/off switch replaced under
warranty) and has otherwise performed faultlessly It still looks as
good as new.

I think that if you can deliver the damp air outside it makes sense.
