My old apartment came with a washer/dryer and they used an indoor vent like this [http://www.amazon.com/LTF-Supurr-Flex®-Lint-Trap-Kit/dp/B00009W3HD/ref=cm\_cr\_pr\_product\_top](http://www.amazon.com/LTF-Supurr-Flex%C2%AE-Lint-Trap-Kit/dp/B00009W3HD/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) It wasn’t so bad because the forced air heat made the air bone dry so this added some humidity. I thought it was weird, but I lived there for a few years with no issue. ---

I thought it was weird, but I lived there for a few years with no issue. +1 I ran one of these in the house we rented for over a year. The moisture isn’t really a problem with forced air heat. You do get a bit of laundry smell though which was why we stopped using it. If money is really tight I’m sure you could live with the smell though. ---

or you know what else you can do? run heating duct all over the basement ceiling then out the vent…so your floors are heated in when the dryer is on like radiant heating or better yet run it piping all over your room and vent it out then you have toasty room when dryer is on. lol ---

you dont want lint back up, our old dryer was a pile, bought a new one and it wasnt drying clothes properly. Ended up having lint back up all the way to the roof, from previous owners and us combind, was never cleaned when we moved in, and we over looked it i guess. Just turn the heat on 60% and enjoy, the bill wont be horrible for 60º ---

:lol: You guys are acting like he asked if he could run his BBQ grill in the house. As was stated by a few people able to think about this before just spouting BS… 1. There are lots of products already on the market to do this. 2. Don’t do it unless the dryer is electric. 3. You will get some laundry smell, but if it’s not that much. 4. Moisture isn’t really an issue since WNY winters, especially if you have forced air heat, are extremely dry.
