I can only imagine what his dryer vent like.
- Vent?
  
  Oh god, Roger had okra farts again
  
  I read that it's an American thing. Americans have dryer vents in the house that need to be regularly cleaned or they are a fire risk, while the rest of the world has a dryer lint compartment in the dryer, that also needs to be regularly cleaned or it's a fire risk. FYI so that nobody gets butthurt: I don't think either of this solution is better or worse, they are just different. This is no "muuuh America Bad Europe Good" comment.
  Notable exception: dry/wash combos, they just rinse out the dryer lint with the next wash cycle
  Edit: And both make sense respectively. Since in the US you mostly build with drywall, it's cheap and easy to add a vent for the dryer. In other parts of the world where they build concrete walls, it's not so easy, so if you choose to move your dryer room in the future it would be a pain in the ass when the dryer needs to be connected to a vent. So it's much more useful to collect the lint and water in the dryer than to vent it out of your building
  
  I live in North America.
  My dryer has a lint trap.
  My vent line needs to be cleaned regularly to clear lint.
  Lint traps are not 100% effective and if you haven't checked your dryer vent for lint recently, you should. If the heat from the dryer builds up enough, the lint can very easily start a fire.
  Be safe out there folks.
  
  Do you guys not vent your air externally?
  Do you just vent the wet air back into the home?
  If not you should get your dryer vent cleaned, your lint trap (which we have in ours also … ) is a first stage filter and does not catch everything.
  Hope this helps you not burn your house down!
  
  I had a dryer for a while that vented into the room. It didn't just spew damp air though. There was a condenser and collector tank for water that had to be emptied between runs.
  
  My dryer is connected to the water drainage pipe. Just like the washing machine. 1
  
  Neither. The dryer either collects the water or it is connected to the sewage and dumps the collected water.
