Never had or used one, but saw them in store displays. I also recall mention that the airflow made it noisy. Fisher & Paykel has a similar system on their SmartLoad topload dryer. An extra-fine self-scraping filter screen cleans itself when the lint layer reaches 1/8", deposits into a collection bucket in the sidewall of the drum. I've had my SmartLoad since October 2004, and have dumped the bucket maybe 6 times, haven't kept count. It works quite well. |

Our 1960 Model 80 KM dryer had a variation on that theme. There was a door on top of the dryer which opened to expose a foot-long bag which held the lint from many, many loads. It was like a smaller version of a vacuum cleaner bag. It was also a noisy dryer. I'd forgotten that feature made a comeback of sorts during the '90s.... |
