Thread in another section had one thinking, what do people think were the best and least effective lint filtration systems on washing machines?
To one's surprise the Maytag metal in agitator lint filter/dispenser (used with my wringer washer) works remarkably well. Currents of water are forced from outside of tub down through center which greatly aids in helping that device catch lint.
OTOH "Magic Mix" brush filter on my vintage WP portable was sort of Meh to middling. Darker items often came out covered in lint regardless.
Had a GE portable with bed of nails filter which was simply useless for catching anything but larger bits of fluff.
Found with WP and GE filters if you let things go for a bit, they actually seemed to catch more lint. Guess a light buildup of fluff helped trap more I suppose...
