Dundas Jafine TDIDVKZW Indoor Dryer Vent Kit with 4" x 5' Duct

It works great, but I didn’t really need it

Arrived fast, works great.

I ordered this dryer vent because of the extreme cold we have been experiencing this winter. I wanted to see if the added heat and humidity would help our home. I have an electric dryer and have an existing hose attached. I used this hose and combined it with my existing hose and set up was a cinch. I did not screw it to the wall but bring it out into the room when it is on to enjoy the heat and humidity. I took the advice of another review to add the essential oil and wow is it ever wonderful. I am really happy with how easy it is to use and the functionality. My dryer does not let a lot of lint through and the water on the bottom will catch anything it does make. I definitely recommend if you are looking to add warmth and humidity in the winter. The hose is less than 5 feet and is about 4.3 feet attached and fully extended.

Back in the day, I used one of these on my dryer in the garage. It worked great for many years. So when I was helping a friend figure out how to vent the lint coming out of an electric dryer for which an exterior wall vent is not possible, I remembered this product and found it in Amazon, of course.I had no problem with the connection to the dryer, however, the connection to the catch basin was not so easy. The pleated duct is too short to mount the catch basin the wall, and setting it on the floor next to the dryer makes it inaccessible to my elderly friend. Also, every time I change the water, removing the top from the basin requires more strength than I have in my hands and then the duct comes off of the lid. So I’ve used a Velcro cable tie to attach the duct to the lid and will replace the too short duct with a longer one. I may end up using glue to more permanently make this connection.Next, I’ll attach the bracket to the wall within easy reach for my friend. I will probably modify the strong snap lid to basin closure using and Exacto knife to trim the too tight connection.These are the reasons I couldn’t give it a 5 star rating. I did not understand the term “sheerness” in the ratings so I left it blank.The good news is that this is a very useful device for catching lint from an electric dryer when an exterior vent is not available. It works perfectly to catch the large amount of lint and dog hair that comes out of the dryer vent. My friend has 7 dogs who are inside when it’s too hot or too cold out, so I consider the amount of dog hair it catches to be a heavy test for this device.When I used my old one in the garage, I always put a teaspoon of bleach in the basin when I changed the water to prevent mold or mildew. I also replaced the pleated duct piece whenever it had a lint build-up. Also, I used strong rubber bands to connect it to the dryer and to connect it to the catch basin. These had to be changed occasionally when they broke due to the heat from the duct.I would buy and use it if I ever run into this situation again.

very nice product it works great thank you very much

mine came damaged with a tiny hole in the bottom but nothing a bit of duct tape cant fix(i didn't feel like returning it and ordering a new one, too much hassle 😭🤣) it works great for my mini dryer, though i will say if u have pets keep it out of reach cause they WILL knock it over HAHA.easy to clean in the sense that u just dump the water out and rinse and refill. i will say though i wish there was a sort of latch to connect the bowl to the top part cause sometimes the water spills on me trying to take it apart to dump and rinse but other than that it works good. i just make sure to have a towel underneath when i need to dump and refill

Works good

After over a dozen uses, my entire house is coated with a super-fine layer of lint! It is easily visible EVERYWHERE, and is a shocking amount when you wipe it off. I had to quit doing laundry for a while and wipe my entire house down. My dryer has a very effective lint-trap system, which kind of makes it worse. Only the finest particles get through the dryer's two-stage filters (and probably only 1% of total lint), which are harder to clean up. (And can't be good to breathe!)The water does absolutely NOTHING to capture lint. I left the same water in for about 10 loads one weekend, and it only had a few lint particles on the bottom.The product itself is an absolute rip-off. It's just two small plastic buckets, with a crude "snap" system. The problem is, the bottom "inner" bucket is too large in diameter, so the top "outer" bucket can't properly fit over it in order to snap. Without being able to snap, it is easily knocked over and your water spilled. Some con-artist is making a fortune off of this "product".And if you really stop to think about how this works, you'll realize it can't. When moving air strikes a surface, the bottom-most layer forms a "cushion" which most of the other air just slides over. So only a fraction of the air makes any contact with the water, and even then, the concept of surface tension should inform you that the air doesn't enter the water, or provide any way to "grab" the lint. You might be thinking, like I did, "well the lint is heavier and so inertia will cause it to plow through the turbulent air at the bottom and land on the water, then sink". Except in reality, it doesn't actually work that way. I suppose if you had a crappy dryer that didn't filter out the big stuff, then that might still work for the bigger chunks. But empirically, it DOES NOT WORK for the super-fine lint, which in my case is all of it.
