Metal Dryer Duct Lint Trap, HG Power Indoor Dryer Vent Kit, Indoor Dryer Vent for Electric Dryer, Dryer Lint Catcher for Dryer, Inline Dryer Lint Trap Box, 4" Dryer Vent Hose, 2 Hose Clamps

It was easy for a handyman to install. I could not have figured it out! It is metal and therefore will last a long time!

Excellent, idea. This unit is so compact and practical, with its metal construction. Durability and leakage is not even an issue. The design is standard and it saves me so much time and money. I clean this every two weeks. I disliked getting that annoying error code D80, on my unit. Only to use the ladder and a vacuum to clean the vent. Now,.I just pop the lid remove and wash. Life is good now!

The lint trap seems to be well constructed but the included dryer vent hose is rather flimsy and when not fully extended effectively is a much smaller diameter than the 4 inch vent. Unless care is taken in the installation it could kink or constrict and restrict air flow somewhat. (just a conclusion from my observation of the small diameter of the foil while the tube was collapsed {about2.5 inches} and how easily the tube might get kinks in it).My solution was to buy a separate duct more rigid than the supplied aluminum foil duct.Also I was amused / surprised when I took a leaf blower to blow out the existing external vent (not easily seen because of obstacles )that a big matted wad of lint came flying out.I still give it a four star rating but if I did not also separately buy a different vent it might be 5 stars.

This product is a solid metal lint trap that is easy to use and install. Since I just got it a few days ago there is no history I can report from but it has an auspicious design and I have no reason to doubt it will work - this review will certainly update this review if it does not.The front door opens with an easy lath, making it easy to take out the fluff that accumulates, and the glass door lets you know when it's time. Two screens sift out course lint from smaller fluff. This is a great way to stay on top of a necessary cleaning that helps avoid fires, because it's easier to clear the lint trap than it is to clean out or replace the dryer exhaust hoses themselves.

Cool idea but if you mount it the way it's pictured the lint falls right back down the hose when the dryer shuts off. If you mount it on its side it helps w this problem.

I connected this to the back of the dryer. The wall behind the dryer is concrete and this worked better. I Used the Adhesive Squares sold on Amazon.In the winter, I use a Water designed dryer vent. Also sold on Amazon. This box is connected between the dryer and the water Vent.There seem to be too much dust with just the water vent. I disconnect in the summer and reconnect to the outside. Do not want the heat and humidity in the summer, but it warms the basement in the winter!

If you're like, me and your dryer vent goes up through your attic, having an extra lunt catcher is a must. I used to have a plastic one but since I've switched to this metal one it is great! It was easy to install and catches all the lint that the catcher misses.

Unit does not seal tightly. During dryer use, there is a constant whistle of escaping air. It traps the lint but the sound is very annoying.
