If you use a wringer washer lint is a issue.
In researching what kind of portable I wanted next I found an item that people said worked in the Chinese made twin tubs. Some have no or lousy filtration. Of course the filters are made in China. I ordered 2 cost a whopping $2.23. Took about 4 weeks to get here. Found on E-bay of course. I ordered the cheapest one. I used one today. It works!!!! No dog hair in the bath tub when I drained it. Or in the lint filter of the dryer. And Hubs works in an animal hospital. So his clothes are covered in hair. We have 3 small dogs of our own. The pictures tell the story. it just floats around collecting stuff. That's 3 loads of yuck in the filter. Not in the drain of the washer tub or in my bath tub. Wow that makes me happy. :) | ||

Wow...that's quite effective! Surprisingly, with my wringer I don't have any problems with dog hair coming out, but a bit with lint. | ||

Lint Issues Construction/Remodel Company, Me. Lots of homes in and out, lots of customers lots of conversations. Okay, working on the current project, whole house remodel. She says "I really like my new washer and dryer except for all the dog hair it has in it when it's finished." (TOL Whirlpool Cabrio)
"At least when I use my old Maytag wringer, there is some dog hair, but not like this new machine. I will turn her on to this thread to purchase one of those lint collectors to use in her ringer only!
Didn't have the nerve or need to tell her to eliminate/rid the source lady! Hear it all the time about vacuums etc. Yep, all the houses are full of pets and they complain about the appliance.

Linking things I'm sorry
I haven't figured out how to link things successfully such a noobie. Sorry.
I'm happy with it Did three loads today and lots of trapped goo. These filters I think were designed to be the lint traps for the washers like Pandas Or the one tub washer the little ones with no spin tub. That's my thought. But it works and I would think it would be affective in a regular top loader. My large Maytag doesn't have a filter???? never found one . and hair was always a problem. The dryer filter was full of hair. 11 min pins shed alot. Down to 3 now. Far less hair. | ||
