I understant the way it collects the lint, but what happens to the humidity? Will I end up with wet walls?

There's no way to trap the humidity. When necessary I open doors and windows to ventilate, but often in the winter when it's cold and dry the warm humid air is welcome in my apartment. In the summer I don't really use the dryer much anyway. I have not had a problem with moisture but my apartment is larger and the dryer is in a relatively open area. If it is in a small, poorly ventilated space this may be an issue.

Mine gets the surrounding area pretty wet if it's run in anything other than extreme high or extreme low. I put it on a towel.

I think it may be too powerful for that. it moves a LOT!!!! of air. I think also that the lint may mess it up

No, I am sorry this is a light duty item. I use mine for luggage, jewelry boxes, inside my safe, closed areas that would not be exposed to constant moisture. You could try damp rid it handles larger areas; however I think that you may need something more heavy duty like a dehumidifier.

Hi Diane. The moisture will be removed more completely with a desiccant filter. Feel free to email us at support@tekton.com or call us at 888.648.3371, if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

No. This is only a screen that filters lint. The air from your dryer will always be hot and very, very moist.

I am sorry but I don't think it will, we have it in smaller size room and it only takes out a small amount of moisture but the humidity is still to high after two weeks of use but coming down to 66% this am

Yes. There is still lint, however most of it blows straight down. It doesn't seem to be as bad as a regular vent, but there is still lint.

I would just try coming from the outside and see if it will go through. Ours goes up in the wall and winds around and eventually comes out in the attic. My husband ran the LintEater from the attic with no trouble. Good luck.

It could probably take some moisture, but probably not as much as you'd get in a bathroom.

No, but I never use in humid weather. Mostly, in winter time and/or when window's closed. I also put mine on a pedastule so that it will sit high. Initially, I had concerns about it running near any electronics but I can run it a few feet from my laptop and no problems. I thought that it didn't even leave a build up film (like humidifiers do) but it actually does sometimes, just lighter. I noticed that if my glasses (eyewear) are near and it runs the full time, I need to clean them before using. But no dampness concerns.

Yes we do get humidity and dust, but we have a piece of muslin draped over the front of it to help contain it in one location. Debbi

moisture is not a problem. I am more concerned with spills and such. One story home do not need sound barrier or anything like that.

I haven't noticed any lint. You can always put it in the washer by itself to prevent lint, and throw in a couple of dryer sheets.

I don't know. We keep it covered for convenience. I think I read somewhere what to do if it gets wet, but nowhere about it drying out.

Michael, I think you would have a problem with lint and moisture not being drawn upward and what would the bath vent do with the lint if it got there? I bought this for my fifth wheel, but it just filled the bed room with moisture.

The floor under will get damp. You can put towels under and the floor should be fine.
