Product review (2 stars): Lint EVERYWHERE
Purchased a condo with this 'ventless' plastic bucket attached to nearly new dryer. First complaint: must be in a spot that is accessible, but that will not get bumped or knocked over (who, I wonder lives in a condo or apt. and needs a 5' run of aluminum dryer hose?!) Secondly: there is lint in every crevice, corner and on every object in my large condo laundry room. I am certain it is the cause of my spouse and I to have chronic sneezing and coughing since moving here a year ago. Thirdly: It does create a lot of hot air. I do have small doors in which to close off the main area of the home from this issue, and mainly do so to prevent lint particles from escaping. I am seriously considering getting rid of this nearly new washer dryer set and purchasing the true ventless conversion washer dryer combo like I enjoyed while living in Europe. I understand that it does 'solve' a rather difficult dilemma for those of us who live in older apartments or condos, but seriously: this is the best anyone could come up with!?
FYI: I cut off the bottom 1/4 of my old pantyhose, wriggled cut piece over the top portion of the container (lid connected to the aluminum hose) then cut slits where the vents are on my lid, and a small one at the mouth of the lid, (so air could still flow down unimpeded) then gently stretched the hose opening back until it fit snugly around the lid bottom, then snapped lid back into place over bottom. It does reduce the lint by 1/2, but not all clearly. and one does have to remove when water adding once a month, and remove lint stuck to hosiery to clear venting hole areas. Hey, it's a start! I would not recommend the ProFlex Indoor Dryer Vent Kit.
