Flawless!
I'm really surprised the ProFlex doesn't have 5 stars. Started using it just over a week and there is no more lint whatsoever. Highly recommend it. Worth every cent!

Works great and no it does not "blow lint all over the place"
This little indoor vent kit is working great for me in a tiny space (galley kitchen of a 699 square ft condo). I don't get the 1 star reviews I saw before I ordered. People must not be following the directions, or the design has improved, or it maybe it isn't as effective with a large dryer? I don't know, but it's perfect with my compact dryer. The kit was really easy to install with the directions in the box. I keep a little water in the bottom of it, and also add a few drops of essential oils from time to time. I don't have lint all over the place, just a little great smelling, moist air coming out while I'm drying clothes. So this product and the Panda 8.8 lb dryer work great for us (3 adults). We do a small load every night or two, and all is well. I haven't seen a spike in my electric bill or anything.

Works fine with a minor adjustment.
When our apartment dryer continuously failed to dry our clothes in a timely fashion I found that the hefty length of routing hose to the roof vent was the culprit. I had inhibitions about using an indoor vent system due to health concerns with particulate. Humidity is a factor if you are venting it close to walls, in a small room, or a room that already has a humidity problem (I do not have this problem). As for the particulate, I took a woman's nylon and draped it over the ventilated portion, cut in the center to allow attachment of the duct, it still circulates the air and humidity fine but without the particulate. I do not use the mount, I have it placed on the ground, it does not heat up anywhere near being hot enough to concern with fire as I am sure so many are thinking and honestly the ventilation system is much cooler and cleaner with the shorter length of hose and easily removed lint trap (My ceiling vented duct was horribly dirty on the inside and was constantly HOT to the touch). The zip ties work fine but I will agree that the top does not fit well with the bottom portion without some tinkering. All around this is a cheap fix for your ventilation problems so you get what you pay for but I think it works great with just a small modification using a $2 of stockings. As for the problems with water and buildup or the surface of the water rejecting large particles, fill it 1/3 to 1/2 full of water, not full and I cut it with about a 50/50 white vinegar which for the most part stops microbial growth. If you change the water out, wipe out the nylon with your hand like you would your primary filter, easy enough.

Revised after a month or so of use: I love that all that heat from my dryer is heating my home now! The lint does partially blow out into your laundry room. :( Some gets caught by the water that you put in the bottom of the white cylinder, but some blows out. My solution was to wrap the device with a mesh dryer bag (see photo). This catches the lint and keeps it from your laundry room. Every load, just twist the bag so that the lint in front of the exhaust holes no longer matches up to and blocks the holes. When the bag (after a bunch of loads) has too much lint in it, take it off and clean off the lint. Also add more water to the basin at that time. My only other pause in recommendation is something I failed to consider when I ordered. At some point in the late spring, I'll have to reattach the hose to my outside vent, as I don't want warm air going into the house in the summer! Wish there were some kind of flip switch/diverter that could do this.

I've had this for about a month now, and I really love it. Right now its winter and the added heat inside from the dryer really helps to heat up my drafty apartment.I also do not have a problem with lint flying everywhere, which is also super nice.I am giving this four stars for one reason, and that is because the hose. It came with zip ties to keep the hose on the dryer and the plastic bucket, but no matter how tight i make the ties the hose keeps getting loose. Probably would solve it if you purchase better zip ties to replace it.Otherwise, a good purchase at a great price!UPDATE: Gave in and bought cheap zip ties from Walmart and that has done the trick!

The added warmth and humidity in the winter is appreciated
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.
