Heat pump tumble dryers are appliances in the household that eliminate moisture from textiles, such as clothes, bedding and linen. These tumble dryers differ from vented tumblers in that they do not require a hose or vent.

The air that is cooled by this method is then recirculated back into the dryer, absorbing warmth and condensing it back into. This is similar to the way an air conditioner operates.

After the heat pump has been able to absorb heat, and then condensed the moisture it is then fed back into the system, so that it can use the energy for subsequent cycles. That's why a heat pump dryer consumes less energy than vented models. This model uses about 50 percent less energy than a vented tumbler of comparable size.
