Customer Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 2 Stars
I remember my mother using one of these. I never noticed her walls filling with water vapor. My dryer is in the basement and really don't want everything I own to wind up with mold on it. The window in my basement is rigged in a fashion where if I try to attach a dryer vent it shifts the whole make shift window and I basically wind up with a gap & no protection. I didn't want to mess around with it but I think I'm going to have to buy a new window that will properly accomodate a dryer vent. I think I actually noticed LESS water vapor when I simply used a panty hose footie on the end of the dryer vent. I was shocked beyond belief when I saw the water running down the cement wall & onto the floor. Perhaps I had the device too close to the wall? Either way I can't continue to put that much water vapor inside of my house. I don't know if other people had this problem or just me?Customer Review: Best as a temporary solution

The platic tank holds water and the lint is directed from the dryer via the silver tube that is included. The water collects the lint and the hot air is forced out through the holes in the collection tank. The problem with this is that if you have a small room or a room with little or no ventilation the humidity makes everything wet. This can cause dampness and mold to be a problem.
The collection tank is supposed to be emptied whenever the water gets dirty. I'm not sure how dirty as it doesn't really give much info other than that.
I see that only as a temporary fix. The best and safest solution is to vent your dryer to the outside of the house, but until you are able to do that, this will provide a way to vent your dryer.
Customer Review: Great if you don't have outside venting

I live in a 1899 brownstone in N.Y. and I purchased my first dryer in early October this year after hanging clothes on a indoor clothesline in my basement for years. I had no outdoor vents or a window near my washer or new dryer. Therefore nowhere to vent the dryer. This Lint Trap Kit is amazing. it's easy to install all you need is to make sure you keep water in the kit and you're set. I check the water level after each dry cycle but the water level is good for at least 5 to 6 drying cycles. It's good to clean out the lint and dump the dirty water for clean water in the kit every 5 to 6 drying cycles. This is a must for anyone without outside venting. This is a fantastic product I love it.Customer Review: Caveats and first impression
Summary: 4 Stars
The box with this product says in red "Not recommended for use on a gas dryer" - surprised that isn't in the specs. I think this is because a gas dryer is really not suited for a small enclosed space (as it uses up the air) which is likely the target audience of this product. I am using this product on a gas dryer in a large, well ventilated garage and do not see any issues. Only tried a few times but works as advertised and catches the lint. My only gripe is the shipping costs more than the product ;-)
Customer Review: It does the job
Summary: 3 Stars
My builder installed my dryer vent improperly and as a result it takes hours to dry a load of clothes. I purchased the lint trap kit as a temporary solution to be able to dry the clothes while I get dryer vent corrected. As a temporary solution I vent the lint trap into my garage. This works fine and it now takes less than an hour to dry a load of clothes. The water tank and cover are rather flimsily made but it does the job. I would not use this for any long term solution.
