Info on venting electric dryer in basement to rear garden
Ok. Another thing. I had an apt with an unvented dryer once. In the basement. I was single then so it rarely happen but if i did like three loads in succession, the first load came out dry. The second load not as dry and the third load damp because of the increased humidity. With a family doing 4 or 5 loads in a day, this would not work and i doubt a dehumidifier would catch the moisture that fast to make a difference.

Looking to relocate my washer dryer to the basement/cellar and looking for anyone that has a recommended installer or pics of venting to see how to deal with getting through building to garden level

If you are contemplating doing something like this, you would be wise to either use the pro as you seem to want to do or already posess knowledge on penetrating walls. I do a lot of things but penetrating masonry walls is one thing i avoid on these narrow houses due to the proximity to windows and doors and the risk to the above structure working too close to these. I would not trust pics to get one through this on masonry. Wood with studs is different.
I say this because i have thought about making a penetration for a stove on my own house and every where i look, it is too close to something else.

They might vent. I imagine any dryer is going to create a lot of humidity. Just won’t have the fumes created by burning natural gas.

We have an indoor vent for our dryer in the basement — but we also run a dehumidifier nearby to counter the extra humidity from the dryer and the basement in general. It seems to work.

i had a ventless washer/dryer combo and it was terrible, everything came out damp and linty.
