I'm in the process of moving the washer/ dryer upstairs and dreaded cutting a new vent opening in the side of the house. My neighbor suggested using a bucket of water to catch the lint till I cut the hole (gas dryer). Come to find out, they make these (6 bucks or so on Amazon). saves all the heat from the dryer and no hole in the house! Also adds humidity in winter. Anyone know of possible drawbacks?
