Product review (5 stars): Tight when new, perfect fit after a few loads. Works great.
I was concerned with the tight fit when I'd first put it in the slot. But after 1 or 2 loads, the plastic shrinks a bit and conforms, and now a few weeks later, it feels just like the oem that I replaced. This was a concern I read about in other reviews before purchasing, and I wanted to share my real-world experience. As a technical guy, I'm glad the filter fits snugly, rather than loosely. It will catch the lint this way, and keep it from getting by and mucking up your exhaust piping.
