120v, can run on a normal 15a breaker. A heat pump dryer is basically just an air conditioner system inside your dryer. The hot part warms the drum and clothes, and the cold part makes the dampness fall out of the air and get drained off. It's extremely energy efficient and allows a closed loop without needing to vent tons of air out of the building. Drying does take longer (around 2 hours for a normal load) but consumes significantly less energy.

It takes heat from the room and pushes it into the dryer it to warm the clothes to dry them. Your AC takes heat from your house and pushes it outside. It takes far less electricity to run than the heating coils in a conventional dryer.
