HOOMESUN Dryer Duct Lint Trap, Indoor Dryer Vent Kit with 4inch 8FT Dryer Vent Hose, 2 Clamps, 2 Stainless Steel Mesh, Secondary Lint Trap for Electric Clothes Dryers - Dryer Lint Catcher(Metal)

Great indoor dryer vent kit. Worked perfectly for my step-mom. It is easy for her to use and clean. Made sturdy and good value for the money!!!! A++++++++

There is a lot people need to know about these dryer duct lint traps and YouTube videos don't quite tell all. This is a good one; and 1. DOOR SEAL - you also need to buy fireproof BBQ gasket to seal the door... I added some to all 4 sides of the inside of the door... the gasket has self-stick on it... and the door closed fine and it keeps the lint trap door from leaking. (they sell some on Amazon) 2. CLAMPS - you may need more clamps than the 2 provided depending on your application and mounting. They provide a good clamp... if you buy more... make sure they are of the same strength... i.e., strong enough to crush a semi-solid dryer vent pipe. Usually the kind you can use a small hex driver with instead of a screw driver. 3. METAL VS. PLASTIC - this vent is metal... you definitely want metal! A dryer vent pipe gets hot... even when it is a long way from the dryer. 4. FLEXIBLE VENT PIPE - again... here you want the metal kind... they provide some with the unit OR you can buy some metal semi-solid... they are all prone to breakage and leading... so be careful mounting them 5. HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL - I mounted mine vertical because I had no choice... this box can be mounted horizontal... and I think their other version that is designed to be mounted horizontal might be preferred because it would drop the lint (in theory) inside the box in a collection area... in either case you will probably still need to vacuum... I think the horizontal version is more $$$. 6. USING SCREENS OR NOT - if you just want clean out access, you do not need to add either screen 7. MOUNTING - it might be a good idea to mount this unit on a piece of wood in the wall or even on the surface of drywall. I mounted mine inside a wall in an existing pipe and it was a bear to cut the pipe... think twice before following my example.

So far it has been a good solution to minimize “pass -through lint. The unit is well constructed, documentation is useful, and easy to install as a flush mounted unit. That said; I have three issues that trouble me somewhat: 1. When you open the door to collect any lint, when you open the door, lint not attached to the filter falls down into the pre-filter dryer exhaust pipe. The work around is to start the dryer before opening it opening the filter door. Messy, but effective. I will post any better solutions I come up with. 2. There is some leakage through the door and does get some accumulation of lint there. It seems as though it needs a gasket to better seal the door when closed. 3. Is more of a “nice to have”: It would be great if the unit had the ability to be flush mounted. It would save a lot of space. The door latch and the location of the pipes makes that difficult if not impossible. But this is a minor suggestion. I mention only because in the photos it seemed possible. None of the above are showstoppers. It’s worth the price as is. I am not unhappy by any stretch of the imagination.

This HOOMESUN Dryer Duct lint trap really solves a problem and does it well. My direct exhaust was roof mounted. Lint would make it up the piping and block the exhaust screen up on the roof. Now we can collect and clean this lint trap right at the dryer. The glass door makes it apparent when this is needed. Since it is winter, I went ahead and coupled this lint trap with a 4 in 1 direct exhaust filter. The HOOMESUN Dryer lint trap adds lint catching protection, keeping the direct home vent clean. When we no longer need to heat our home this spring, I will re-attach the HOOMESUN Dryer lint trap to the hose that goes out my roof. Really an ideal set of products.

My dryer is very guilty of lint and not trapping it well. This product totally alleviated the product. Easy to install and works perfectly. Anyone that is having problems with extra lint clogging everything up... this is what you need! Good quality, great price point, fixed any and all problems that I have had with lint escaping my dryer! Fits perfect on my dryer connections!

Easy to install, where it is reachable and catches the lints first before it goes up the roof vent. I didn't used the flex hose that came with it. Instead i used a more insulated flexible hose that I also bought on Amazon and alumium tape to wrap around all of the hose end where you clamped it. There are two metal mesh lint catchers that you insert hortizonally and diagonally. The holes on these mesh are similar to the window screen you find around your house. The is a little bit of space within the lint trap box , between the hortizontal mesh insert and the top of the box that you can purchase some cheap finer mesh material filter to catch the finer, finer, finer lints, cut to size and stick it in there, which i did and it works it even better without your dryer stopping and showing error code for blockage. No more blockage and climbing roof to unclog! Quiet, no noise coming from the box. UPDATE: You would still need to open the box and clean out the lint , for me about every two cycles. If you purchase a separate finer mesh material filter that you insert in that extra top space that I mentioned, I find it is best to clean them with a lint roller. The lint roller picks up the lint faster than you trying to pick them out with your fingers 😀. I tried the washing method, it was ok, but you would still spend time to pick the lints with your fingers. Hope these tips help!

The vent box is strong and quality is very good. The cost is better than most on the market which is a bonus. Easy to install and use on a daily basis. It allows a lot of the heat to fill the room and when the lid is closed it seals up really well also.

I had to seal up the back sides with metal tape and use gaskets to seal up the door. Otherwise it leaked a lot of air and humidity. It's super easy to clean and catches the lint though.

El producto cjmple mis espectativas facil de instalar

As described. Installed over the weekend and seems solid construction. I do like the dual screens and the release mechanism.. way better quality than the older plastic designs on market

I think this is a great quality dryer lint box. It is metal - not plastic- with a see through door that latches closed. It has two metal mesh screens that trap the lint for easy removal. Very sturdy and easy to affix to a wall - comes with four wall plugs and screws. Also, comes with exhaust foil hose and metal clamps. Straightforward installation - I watched a YouTube 'how to' video which was helpful. There are many kinds of lint traps on the market, and I chose this one because it is metal and has a latched door. I read several reviews about the plastic types which experienced the door opening prematurely because of the dryer's hot air exhaust. This lint box was somewhat more expensive, but I think it is well worth it given the high quality.

Producto de muy buena calidad y embalaje perfecto para que llegue en condiciones, ya incluye las abrazaderas para que no consideren comprarlas.

Better than the plastic ones. This one is made of metal and has a buckle latch to ensure it stays closed. The plastic type warp and pop open over time venting moist air inside. Other users stated the mesh was not catching lint but I haven't had an issue. The only concern is if you are using sold 4" ducting instead of the supplied foil hose. There will be a slight gap between the solid duct and the metal housing. I use a small bead of high temp silicone to stop air leaks. Works great!
