I've been using the same lint trap kit on my 120v dryer for over 5 years without a single issue. I do have a 4' washer/dryer closet and I close the doors (unventilated) during warmer months to keep the heat from getting out. However, I only clean the trap kit about once a month and usually just add water when I see the level is getting low in between loads. Sometimes I forget to add water, but the worst that's happened is that I found random pieces of lint stuck to my W/D closet walls! No mold, no mildew, and I have bad allergies so I would have definitely "felt" the effect of any such problems long ago.

I recently removed the aluminum tubing for the first time since I bought it to do a deep cleaning. I found very minor traces of lint that my handvac sucked up in a jiffy. Unless you have a really large dryer and do massive loads of really damp clothes pretty regularly, I don't think the warnings are any reason to not try this. This little gadget is a wonderful solution for apartment dwellers with limited options. My only gripe is that I wish the construction was a little more solid. The lid clamps are tricky, and I've broken off little pieces of plastic with little effort. However, until I find a new and improved model, I'll keep using this old one 'til it falls apart.

I live in a 1899 brownstone in N.Y. and I purchased my first dryer in early October this year after hanging clothes on a indoor clothesline in my basement for years. I had no outdoor vents or a window near my washer or new dryer. Therefore nowhere to vent the dryer. This Lint Trap Kit is amazing. it's easy to install all you need is to make sure you keep water in the kit and you're set. I check the water level after each dry cycle but the water level is good for at least 5 to 6 drying cycles. It's good to clean out the lint and dump the dirty water for clean water in the kit every 5 to 6 drying cycles. This is a must for anyone without outside venting. This is a fantastic product I love it.

I purchased the LTF Supurr-Flex® Lint Trap Kit for my sister to use in her small apartment. Her apartment has no dryer vent to the outside, so we attached the kit to her compact clothes dryer as the dryer vent. The trap is easy to attach and easy to clean. We expected a lot of heat to come from the unit, but it did not. We love it. I would recommend this kit.

Works well for the small utility room and we were able to avoid having to exhaust through a brick wall.

The platic tank holds water and the lint is directed from the dryer via the silver tube that is included. The water collects the lint and the hot air is forced out through the holes in the collection tank. The problem with this is that if you have a small room or a room with little or no ventilation the humidity makes everything wet. This can cause dampness and mold to be a problem.

The collection tank is supposed to be emptied whenever the water gets dirty. I'm not sure how dirty as it doesn't really give much info other than that.

I see that only as a temporary fix. The best and safest solution is to vent your dryer to the outside of the house, but until you are able to do that, this will provide a way to vent your dryer.

The box with this product says in red "Not recommended for use on a gas dryer" - surprised that isn't in the specs. I think this is because a gas dryer is really not suited for a small enclosed space (as it uses up the air) which is likely the target audience of this product. I am using this product on a gas dryer in a large, well ventilated garage and do not see any issues. Only tried a few times but works as advertised and catches the lint. My only gripe is the shipping costs more than the product ;-)

Landlord still doesn't care that our dryer vent is broken, but this item has made things fine. It works and works well. I would have to say that the dryer dries faster than it ever has before and there is no effect from the heat/humity because the room is well vented. If you need to dry clothes indoors, this is it!

This is the only solution we have, even though this item dose not bring us up to code.

You need to install this hanging from two screws or a two nails - but it didn't say this in the instructions. We had to ask the guy in the hardware store for this information. Also, the 3 ft hose is way to short, you need to buy a six foot hose.

Product works just as promised. It helps heat up my cool basement, so it helps cut down on heating costs, too.
