Product review (5 stars): Best thing ever. Cheap, works great. No lint.
Best thing ever. I was REALLY worried about getting and using this - I read some horror stories on here about lint going everywhere. I've used this for a few weeks now and have done at least 5 loads of laundry in a row without any lint getting anywhere except in the little water in the plastic cup, just like it is supposed to. There is no lint in the closet at all (where my laundry is). Also I was afraid it was going to be really hot - even though I keep the door to the closet open, I haven't noticed it making my place any hotter. I feel the heat when I walk by, but that's it. And I guess I could shut the door but I don't bother. It's July here in Mass. so it's hot but the dryer doesn't seem to make a difference. I even had it going with my windows closed and my window AC units going and it was totally fine. Also the dryer dries clothes really fast. Faster than a regular dryer - and my dryer is tiny so I think there may be some credence to the idea that this device makes the dryer more efficient, but who knows. This thing cost me less than $20 - a lot cheaper than paying someone to install the venting needed to vent the dryer outside. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I think the guy who was complaining about the lint must not have put water in the bucket. I can't think of any other reason why he would have tons of lint and I don't have any in a confined space...
