It's a closed-circuit system where air is heated as it passes through the condenser, then that heated air absorbs the moisture from your clothes. It's then cooled as it goes through the evaporator and that water taken from your drying laundry goes into your drain or collection tank. Then the now-dry and cool air goes through the warm condenser again and the process repeats. Bosch has a great video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-hDpODzIV0

The coil situation is why I'm replacing my Samsung heat pump dryer. The Whirlpool models have another filter just before the coils that supposedly keeps the extra lint from getting in them, but I think a setup that actually washes the coils every load (like this LG) makes more sense. My Samsung only has the dual-lint filter in front of the drum that you clean every load. LOTS of fine lint gets past this and goes directly into the coils and once it's in there, the only way to get it out is to disassemble the dryer. Samsung's only suggestion is make sure you clean the lint off the front of the coils every 30 days. That's not sufficient. We have taken to opening the condenser coil panel at the bottom after every load to give it a chance to dry out, and I take a strong vacuum to the coils every few loads. Inside of a year all our clothes started smelling mildew-y and while our new cleaning regimen has mostly helped, it's right on the edge. Sometimes the clothes smell a little, sometimes they don't. Looking forward to a full-sized dryer again, and one that doesn't have this design flaw.
I am sold on the heat pump concept overall though. We do about three loads of laundry a week and have noticed a significant decrease in our electric bill even with the longer drying times.
I'm also getting $50 (EDIT: Looks like they recently reduced it to $50 - my last rebate last year for my Samsung dryer was $300 and I could have sworn I confirmed it again last month, but maybe I was on just the regular PSE&G site [pseg.com]) back from PSE&G on this dryer (which is in their 'most efficient' list), so that brings it down to $549 plus tax for me. Apologies for the "cash back" being a little misleading, but this is the kind of deal hack that I love to find, so I was hoping others might find it useful as well.

So, worth noting:
* If you are installing it somewhere that you can easily run a gravity drain line down into some sort of drain, you're in good shape.
* If not, you'll have to plan to dump a water collection bottle of some sort.
Edited to Add:
I just looked at the manual. It *does* have a water pump for the drain, so you can run the drain line up and into the same place you drain your washer.
**ALSO WORTH NOTING**:
Despite a low amperage draw, this is a 208/230 volt unit. If you already have an electric dryer and a 208/230 line, this can be a drop-in replacement.
If you're moving from gas to electric, like me, you likely only have 110 volt at the location and have some wiring work to install it.
