Product review (5 stars): Better than the one that came with the dryer
I was really not confident, based on some of the reviews on this product, whether it was going to last longer than the one that came with the unit. In comparing the one I ordered here with the original, I quickly noticed that the width of the felt gasket was smaller on the new one. In addition, it looks as if the plastic walls of the groove that the felt gasket sits in is a little higher and each wall is at the same height now. I think these changes will improve the longevity of this screen.

Obviously, I have no idea when the design changed, but I suspect the bad reviews were on the previous version. So far so good on the new one.
