What you all need to do is take a step back and realize how wonderful your lives are. Because if something this trvial is worth a heated argument, you guys must be very comfortable in your lives.

Both times... :-/ Other people are too stupid to clean the thing out in my household. :| (Excluding my Mom and Dad; laundry pros) I check it before and after. I clean it both times too, even if there is very little lint.

We use POS washer and dryer right now... Any recommendations on what to get? Looking for one that does rather large loads and is great. The washer and dryer we use right now must have cost my brother and sister $100 combined, because they don't clean at all. I throw in my hairy sweater in there and it will come out just as hairy or worse. O_O Our washer and dryer at home wasn't that bad, and I thought it was bad... Wrong I was.. -_-

I want these. My gf's mom has them in her house in NC, and they are fantastic to use. The dryer won't work until you clean the lint trap. That might be a problem for some of you.

*EVERYTHING* is a heated argument around here. If the volume of the news on the TV is too high or low, you'd think that World War III just came about. I'm still living w/ parents and siblings (but the clothes washer and dryer belong to me, so nobody needs to throw that "their equipment, their rules" bullshit).

Anyway, to those of you that are saying it's the same action, named twice, I fully realize that. I'm not questioning the action, I'm questioning the timing of the action.

I personally think that the lint filter should *always* be checked before you start drying a damp load of clothes. If it's dirty, clean it. If it's not dirty, oh well. If you want to waste your time cleaning the lint filter when you empty the then-dry clothes from the machine, then that's your business... it's a complete waste of time IMO because you still *need* to check the lint filter before you start the next load of clothes.

This is nothing but pure unbridled logic folks. The kind of logic that can have no argument made against it.

I hereby declare GeekDrew the winnarrrrrrr!! (It's pure coincidence that his thoughts and mine are alike in this matter)

I agree with whatever boomer says.
