Product review (1 stars): Looks like this design has been ruined by manufacturers.
Have had models  like this for over 10 years.  I hit the first one with a mower .  Now on my 4th in the past 3 years.  They get cheaper and thinner plastic - and now bake to a brittle consistency in a season or two.  Broke the most recent one just trying to get the top off to clean.  It lasted less than a year.  This one is even worse - the latch to open top to clean is impossible to open with out 3 hand.  Looks like this design has been ruined by manufacturers squeezing for more profits.  Look for a different solution for your dryer.
