    I stretch an old pair of panty hose or a panty hose stocking over the end of the hose that you put against the window in your video. I use a rubber band to keep it secured on the end of the hose. It collects the lint and you can clean it out when full and reuse.

    Hi Julia, I just wanted to let you know that the Teckin Smart WiFi SP20 plug no longer provides power consumption monitoring. I just set them up and couldn't find it in the Smart Life app. Went back to Amazon and in looking at the questions, a couple people explained that capability was removed about a month ago. So sad. Well, I will look for another brand. Thank you for even enlightening us about smart plugs! But alas, the Teckin no longer is our go to product. 😪

    I'd recommend a semi-rigid metal/aluminum vent hose. The vent hoses get really hot when you run the dryer and those plastic ones look pretty flimsy. I broke down and spent 700 bucks on a compact Whirlpool dryer last June. it's like a regular dryer but smaller and cute but still heavy duty. I stick the vent hose out of my kitchen area window and it works perfect, no humidity or hot air blowing in, just the fresh smell of fabric softener and the window screen catches all the lint. Hee hee!
