I loved being able to use this on rainy days or when I needed something to dry quickly while living in Japan. Back in Europe, only having air-drying was annoying on those occasions.

Notice that the amount of manual work required with these bathroom dryers is the same as air-drying, but less than tumble drying.

I never had a problem with lint. Like others mentioned, there is a plastic plate that you have to clean regularly, the same that captures hair.
