Product review (5 stars): great product! a must have!
I was at first a little hesitant to buy these lint traps due to some negative reviews. However, I'm quite pleased I didn't listen. Those reviewers complaining about how the plastic fastener doesn't hold the trap are likely not threading the fastener through the lint trap and are probably just placing it right over the trap. The fastener has a nice little release tab so that you can easily remove the trap once it's filled with lint and needs to be replaced. From the looks of the amount of lint in the trap after only two loads of laundry, I'd say it seems to be quite effective. These traps are cheaper than the ones I got in the dollar store and are better quality. Also, instead of a twist-tie, these come with a plastic fastener which is a lot better.
