We experimented with various filters and determined the following after installing the vent and weighting the change your filter door as per the instructions: (1) The changeable filters that comes with the vent are too lightweight and almost impossible to clean. (2) I next tried a 3/4 inch thick washable filter cut from a a/c filter (about the same thickness as the filters that came with the vent) - and while it was easier to clean, the change your filter door popped up after 6 loads - with a moderate amount of lint in the filter. (3) I next tried a 1/4 inch thick washable a/c filter - which was the easiest to clean, and the change your filter door didn't pop up until 10 loads - or a week of laundry. The pictures below are of the installation in the garage with the change your filter door popped up, and the metal filter and 1/4 inch a/c filter after 10 loads (1 week) of laundry. Filters in picture: 1) The green filter is from the cheapest whole house a/c filter my husband could find. 2) The black filter is a foam window unit a/c filter, about 1/8 inch thick - it was the cheapest and worked as well as the green filter - about 10 loads. The 1/2 inch thick one worked as poorly as the one provided by the manufacturer of the dryer vent. 4) The white/blue filter is the one provided by the manufacturer - I got the least amount of loads with it (it and the 1/2 inch blue filter) - and it really isn't very washable."
"It mounts to the wall, and the door is easily opened to be able to clean the screen and filter."
"The filters are easy to change when necessary."
"The heat from the drier gets reused where we need it, it gives just the right amount of moisture in the air, and i dont have to worry about the ouside venting clogging up!"
"great way to supplement heat even up here in pacific northwest. I found that our furnace evaporates so much moisture that any extra is welcome for my hardwood floors, etc..."
"This gadget is great."
"Best thing to hit the market, do away with those water holder for your lint, this is the best answer and keeps everything clean in the room that you dry."

"This little indoor vent kit is working great for me in a tiny space (galley kitchen of a 699 square ft condo). I don't have lint all over the place, just a little great smelling, moist air coming out while I'm drying clothes."
"Do not forget to put water in it and check the trap once a month."
"weird with my little Avanti dryer this hose needs like 5 inches in the back which I dont like but we have a dry apartment fill the buket up with water dry your clothes water air gets humidity and it catptures some dust/lint."
"Due to the construction of my house the dryer vent is about 20 ft long with several turns."
"I feel like the water-based system helps reduce the fire hazard of just a nylon stocking over the vent, and the duct directs the warm, humid air away from the space behind the dryer and into a more open space that is better ventilated so it is less likely to cause mold/mildew problems."
"works good, but would be nice if the design had a built-in clamp on the top cover itself."
"Works well."

"Perfect fit replacement part for my dryer."
"The functionality is about as expected if you are needing a quality replacement filter screen."
"So, maybe whirlpool made a design change which included felt to help secure the fit of the screen."
"Had to glue felt in as another reviewer suggested since that was the problem with lint filter that came with brand new dryer."
"When I first got this screen I worried that it was such a tight fit."
"Felt material around the edge does not stick out from the plastic frame far enough to make a good seal."
"Not happy with the dryer screen."

I called around and was quoted about $300 for the install -- Which seemed expensive, but there were very few 'Samsung Authorized' repair shops in my area, and most places wanted diagnosis fees and crap... I actually found a video online where someone does the install from the back of the dryer, but that is not needed. The tricky part is pulling the element box out, and making sure the thermostats get connected back properly. This will make it so if the element is not the problem, you can re-assemble and call an expert and save yourself some time). 5. You don't wanna mix those up, and the metal screws can split the plastic. Check all of your exhaust piping, and make sure the vent flap outside is not stuck/clogged (Which mine was). If there is a lot of lint inside your dryer, it's most likely a blockage issue The reason these elements are prone to burning out is the amount of airflow needed to keep them cool. Anyone find it aggravating that they have a "Smart" dryer, yet it's too dumb to tell you that the element is burnt out?"
"I did take the time to clean the lint out of the inside of the dryer off the sensors and also cleaned the exhaust and checked the belt The dryer upon start up heated up noticably hotter. Its probaly a good thing that the old element burned out as there was a high possiblity that this dryer could have caught on fire. Evan when cleaning the lint filter after every load the dryer still had alot of lint inside it especially around the sensors and heater."
"I used this element to repair my Sansung electric dryer."
"This thing ranged from $50-$70 (and higher) direct from a variety of parts retailers, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this particular item for sale on Amazon in the $20 range."
"We installed this 2 months ago and it's still going good."
"showed up on-time and worked great in my 4 year dryer."
