Product review (1 stars): Mesh dissolving after a few weeks!
First, the ones I got were 5 packs with 2 filters each that look similar to the picture, but the brand is HOME-AIDE and the model no is k2499. They are aluminum and are made in China. The amazon marketplace seller mine came from is One Super Bargain.

Long before mine filled with lint it started to disintegrate sending junk down the drain. At first it was catching lint and looked fine. But today I noticed a bunch of junk in the sink (more had gone down the drain) and found a large opening in the lint trap. I gently pulled at it and more ripped open with little resistance as if there wasn't any metal left, just lint that was barely holding together.

They seem like metal mesh when new, weak and rather coarse but seemingly sufficient, but after about a month the mesh won't hold together any more. I am not sure what on earth is going on! It is like the mesh is dissolving away. I have used several other brands with zero issues and am on normal city water.

I bought these to prevent problems and now I am having lint and mesh going down my drain. These are cheap, dangerous lint filters! However, it is possible that some sellers are shipping different brand filters that work better.
