Folks who have tried this, did you see more dust in your homes due to the fine-grain lint that is not captured?

I honestly could not tell you. I installed this unit shortly before starting a remodelling project so any dust that it may allow out is negligable at this point.

I have not noticed more dust. The screen captures the lint, and I think that if you notice more dust you could place a piece of cheesecloth over the opening to catch it. Just be sure the warm damp air is not contained in a small room where it will get steamy and damp. The device is flimsy, but my husband hooked it up very securely so the air vents into the room. The adjustment keeps the frigid winter air from backing up into the dryer which is a plus.

I have been surprised how little dust we have seen. Our laundry room is closed. There is still a great deal of heat that exits the home. However, our basement warms up, now, when we operate the dryer. The filter is easily cleaned. Even a clogged filter produces heat in your home, however.

Boy you know right now I am probably NOT the person to answer this as I have had some "issues" that I am trying? to get resolved BUT I will TRY and help you do that task, hmmmm I found that using a damp cloth is the best for the "paper" kinda filter and the plastic one well I am sure you know you just grab the lint and ball it up GOOD LUCK!!

I've been using this unit in my home for a while now and my experience is that it does a pretty good job removing dust. If I shake a blanket in the room where the unit is, it will kick onto high and then return to normal when the dust has dissipated.

I have done it both ways.....w/ oil and w/o......i think that it would be helpful if you are using in an area w/ lots of dust to help capture more of the particles, but, have found its not a issue since i change the filter and oil regularly.

Mine works beautifully with no dust issues, but I would see what the others say.

I find this to work much better than the sticky paper roller. There is one direction for picking up lint, and then you reverse the "brush" on something else, like a cloth or upholstery and it releases all the lint. So don't try to do it back and forth. Check out the directions. I'm a fan.

Hi, Mike,I did not experience this type of dust upon receiving the box.I received it very well preserved in its clear plastic box.TVL.

I was curious to see if mine was also dirty. It was. I couldn't remove the white plastic front, but I blew into the wider opening and it seemed to get rid of just about all of the dust inside. Now I am keeping mine in a ziploc sandwich bag to prevent the build up of dust.

No. We use this fan very often and have not experienced any more dust issues than without it.

I used it for a built in stereo system to replace the existing cloth. So far no dust and I live in AZ.

My son washed his. It doesn't look much cleaner but, no harm was done. He also rubbed some cornstarch on his after reading on line that it takes away some of the stickiness of this type of thing. It worked. No more lint, and fuzz stuck all over it.

I only use my broom in the house and I never have puffs of dust. The soft hair seems to hold the light dust. I love my Laundered horse hair broom. That's all I"ll use in the house.

Great. My bedroom somehow was the dustiest in the house and now with the machine, it has reduced it by half. Good luck.

Like Phoenix Indigo posted, dryer lint is no longer recommended because of the toxins and because it does not respond well to moisture. I stuff mine with the fur I get from cat/dog brushings and with straw (which responds better to moisture than hay).

No, the fibers are treated with a wax like substance that attracts the dust and dirt. In fact, it gets better with use.

Yes, really very little dust. But as others have mentioned, the chemical fragrance is unpleasant, and it doesn't seem to clump any better than the regular stuff.

instead of dryer lint, I use kapok (a natural fiber from the pod of as tropical tree) which I buy in bulk; it is resistant to water (they used to use it in life preservers). I bought a Kapok pillow that had too much fill and removed the excess (about 3 lbs of it) and used it for bird nesting---it took me about three years to get through that 3 lbs, so while it is pricey, you may never need to buy more than a few pounds.
