Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fantech DBLT 4 Lint trap 4" Duct
Customer Review: Fantech Booster fan Lint Trap does the job, but the door is a pain
Summary: 2 Stars
I just finished a few loads of laundry after installing all new dryer ducting, a lint trap and Fantech booster fan (the system works VERY well). After every load the lint trap needed to be cleaned. OK, it's doing it's job. However, taking off the door involves pinching the spring retention clip, cleaning the screen then reinstalling the spring clips in very small hard to see holes. The spring clip is awkward and the screen is poorly adhered to the metal housing (after 2 loads it's already coming loose). Also, the Fantech Lint Trap housing is very industrial looking (galvanized sheet metal), and doesn't fully recess in a standard wall frame. I'm not sure Fantech could have put less thought into how this lint trap would actually fit into a laundry room and be used. It needs to be cleaned often, which will likely be the least desirable step in the entire laundry process (including folding and putting clothes away). I am actively looking for an alternate lint trap solution. I am convinced that the lint trap is necessary (the dryer vent isn't catching all the lint), but there must be a better solution out there! (no complaints about the Fan - it's quiet and works perfectly).
Description of Fantech DBLT 4 Lint trap 4" Duct
When It Comes To Dryers, Where Is The Perfect Installation With Little To No Duct Length? The Reality Which Contractors And Homeowners Have To Work With Is Far From Perfect. A Short Dryer Duct Length Is Not Always Possible. This Is Where Fantech Dryer Boosters Can Help. Under Prime Conditions, Residential And Commercial Clothes Dryers Should Dry Clothing In A Timely Fashion. Problems Occur When Dryers Are Connected To Long Runs Of Duct Work. This Is The Reason Why Most Residential Dryers Are Located Against Outside Walls. The Exhausted Air Is Vented Directly To The Outside Without Complicated Ducting To Hinder The Performance Of The Dryer. Many Dryer Installations Do Not Allow Direct Venting And The Typical Residential Dryer Cannot Operate Efficiently Against The Resistance Created By The Necessary Duct Work. The Results Are Longer Drying Times, Higher Energy Usage And Costs, And Excessive Wear And Tear On The Dryer. Paintable Galvanized Metal Lint Trap For Dryer Boosting Applications. Use When Duct Length Between Dryer And Booster Fan Is Less Than 15 Feet. Fits 4-Inch Duct. Features Pull Out Door With View Window, Removable Lint Filter For Easy Cleaning And 1/2" Flange For Flush Mount Installation. Feature and Specification The Lint Trap Must beInstalled so it is Easily Accessible to the Dryer User it is Recommended that the Dryer User Inspect for Lint Accumulation Prior to Operation of the DryerDucting
