QuestionIs this considered a long vent dryer. If so why isn't it in the description?
Asked 3 years ago by Tw.
- Answer Have no idea what a long vent drier is. The vent tubing and attachment ring needs space between the wall and the drier. The vent on the drier is located in the back and the bottom of the Electric Drier. The delivery people from Best Buy did the installation. Very happy with the installation people.
