Lint Hair Trapper for filtering Washing Machine Utility Tub and Sink drains-reusable and customizable with built-in overflow guard. Traps Lint, hair and debris from drains, replaces all Mesh filters

I installed a laundry sink into my basement to act as a strainer for a washer I was adding. I didn't want excess lint going down the drain and getting stuck due to low flow in that drain. My father had a similar set up on his washer, and had installed a PVC tube sticking up out of the sink drain to act as a filter. He drilled small holes all around the pipe. Initially, I decided to copy him. After the pipe clogging up 5-6 times in a week (lots of lint being laundered I guess), I looked for options and found this. This device works wonderfully. It's super simple to clean and can collect a lot of lint before clogging up. It works so well I bought a second one and sent it to my dad to replace his home made pipe filter drain thing. Great item!

I have a washer than drains into a slop sink, and I have pets, so I use metal lint drains on the end of my drainage hose. If I don't, I'll have a clogged drain in about 3 days. I still use the metal link socks, but this does a great job of catching lint and fur that sneaks through. Just keep an eye on the drainage tub, if you are washing something really furry, to make sure the trap doesn't need cleaning mid cycle. Mine got full and I was worried it might overflow. I think it has an overflow protector, but I want to watch to make sure it works first. But very happy with the purchase and removing the fur is a breeze! UPDATE: The overflow protector works perfectly! I still would check mid-wash if you're washing something really furry though, because the overflow doesn't stop lint or fur from going down the drain, and it's better to keep water moving through the bottom part instead of the overflow hole, for that reason.

Works perfectly in our wash tub in the basement next to the washer. Keeps all lint, etc. from going down the drain.

Works as it should and i use it for the laundry tub which gets more use and is good at keeping lint, hair and debris out of the drain. Keep it clean and it will work well. Durable plastic, good size, easy to install, and fits the drain well. Water passes through the gates easily, while lint and other material are caught.

I bought this lint trap for my laundry room sink over three years ago and it has worked so well. I love it. It keeps the lint and debris that gets through the mesh strainer and prevents it from going down the drain. But it still allows water to go down the drain. I may have to clean it once every other month, so it’s not something that takes a lot of work to maintain. After three years though, it’s getting a little bit harder to clean in between all of the grooves. So I ordered another one. Because why mess with perfection?

I give this product 5 stars, although I am using it for a different purpose. This product was mentioned on a “big hair” forum & it was my last hope. I admit I have a massive head of hair, think Donna Summer & Chaka Khan back in the day. I have always shed a ton of hair in the shower, like enough to roll up a golf-ball sized hairball (see pic of said hairball next to a q-tip for size comparison). Even the best hair catchers are no match for my locks. The problem is that they are all made to go DOWN into the shower drain. Halfway thru my shower, most hair catchers are already clogged with hair & blocking the water flow. I would have to clear the catcher several times in one shower session, forming a big pile of hair on side of the tub, in order to finish my shower without standing in inches of my own dirty water, soap film & conditioner chunks. This Lint Trapper is like a wonderful little rocketship that sticks UP while in your drain. I would describe it as having a skinny nose on the top, a slighty larger butt on the bottom, and an even larger waist in the middle. You stick the butt in your tub drain with the nose pointing up, and the waist part will collect your loose hairs. The beauty of this product are the slits in the waist part which are cut vertically to allow waterflow... so even if you have a ton of hair wrapped around the trapper, the water can still flow OVER the hairs & thru the slits, which eliminates the problem of the water standing in your tub. I also notice a good amount of actual lint in this Lint Trapper, which for the love of me, cant understand how I have so much lint on my body ?! But, lint is the intended purpose of this product, so it seems to be doing its job plus so much more.

This filter does it's one job very: It prevents the lint in the washing machine's water draining from clogging up the drain in the utility sink, where the washing machine discharge drains into. It also fits perfectly into the drain of my standard sized utility sink tub. Without this lint trapper (or other means of trapping lint), the drain would get clogged and would have to be snaked out periodically. I can do that, but I'd rather not. In terms of maintenance: lint accumulates in the lint trapper and every couple weeks you have to clean it out. That's fairly easy to do and takes 5 minutes at most. I replace them about every 6 months. I think some people can get more life out of one of them. But in my experience, one of the blades breaks off every 4-6 months, allowing a bit of lint to get through. So I keep extras on hand to replace them when needed. Yes, $13 is a lot to pay for a plastic item that probably costs $1 to produce. But for me, the value I get from this lint trapper exceeds $13 by far, so it's an easy purchase decision.

works great in our laundry sink

Très efficace, facile a installer et a nettoyer.

Once I managed to fit it in the kitchen sink it worked great. I use it to trap lint from my portable washer.

Amazing! Invested after two floods .... Is was worth every penny

Works great.

Didn't do anything.
