Product review (1 stars): Lots of Hot Air
I hoped this would work ... it does not. After a remodel and our dryer was relocated away from the old vent to the outdoors our contractor assured us this would work. I read the reviews and while still doubtful but with no real options I made the purchase. I installed as directed. Yes, it is flimsy. when water is added to the base it bows slightly out of round making it more difficult to fasten the top. (Remove from the wall when you reattach the lid.) The air blows the lint downward and some is captured in the water - the remainder goes everywhere in the room. Thankful we closed the laundry room door. We tried the pantyhose cover trick mentioned. Yes this works - but really. What a sight.
Two - maybe three refills of water - it evaporates.... the snaps of the lid to the base broke off. I'm so disappointed... not just that this doesn't work... but I still have the problem of dryer lint. It's cheap... so if you think - why not try it - go ahead. But keep track of your time and frustration.. then tell me what a bargain it is.
There should be a better unit on the market than this.
