Isn't almost always that you get what you pay for? These towels look nice and I love the color but every time I've washed them the dryer vent is packed with INCHES of lint. I haven't yet used them - mostly 'cause I keep hoping they'll stop shedding lint - and, I've washed them at least 8 times. I'm just not sure how well they're work in a ventless dryer where these towels will eventually need to be washed and dried in a vacation home.
