Product review (5 stars): as dirty as they get
ALOT cheaper and just as durable as the orginal. Some reviews may point out the material is cheaper too...it is but your supposed to clean the orginal every time the dryer is used and replace the filters once every month to three months depending on use... as dirty as they get, the material being cheaper doesn't effect the ability to catch the dirt and lint. I've used these filters for just as long and even washed them without them tearing or falling apart and will continue to use these instead of the manufacturer for as long as I have the dryer. Also just to note I do not just go down to a store and buy fabric as a replacement as another review mentions because if you select the wrong fabric you risk a fire hazard.
