On average condenser dryer do leave towels fluffier IMHO.

Difference between drying in a moist environment versus one that by nature pulls and exhausts moisture away I suppose.

Yup. Older, low airflow dryers like Hamiltons also produce softer, fluffier dried fabrics because the fabrics are kept in a steamy atmosphere. The Filtrator also produced less static in fabrics, unless they are over dried.

I am upset I missed the experiment! I bet the basement smelled great! Hope it wasn’t too warm there! Lol. Thanks for backing up the research!!

There's nothing as sweet smelling as a Filtrator drying clothes and the effects once the load is finished.

Yes, the basement sure did smell great, but it makes it hot...we can experiment all you want next year!

I absolutely love Filtrator dryers, they can be installed anywhere as no vent is needed and they leave the clothes, towels and sheet so very super soft. For towels this is great as no softener is needed to make them soft, but they stay absorbent. They do use more power than standard dryers to dry a load, but it's worth if for the softness and the nice scent that fills the room. In the winter adding a bit of moisture to the house is lovely as well.
