Product review (5 stars): These things really work.
There was a full one of these odd looking creations on the washer drain hose that came with our home purchase. It was pretty full of soggy lint, so I started a local search for the item to no avail. Amazon, of course, has everything, so I ordered half a dozen. I probably should have ordered more, as the first one filled up with lint pretty quickly. I highly suspect that cheap. fleecy, blankety thing my wife received as a Christmas gift as the culprit (thanks, but a $5.00 gift certificate will do just fine next time miser). But I digress. It does the job for which it was intended. I would hate to see what might happen if all that gooey lint were to accumulate in the sink trap of the laundry room. 5 stars.
