Better yet, line dry! Besides saving mucho energy, your clothes will wear out less quickly, will shrink less, etc. If you shake them fiercely before hanging them up, you'll have fewer wrinkles.

Not only is it inefficient, it is a fire hazard to let your lint trap go uncleaned.

Yea, I had to use all of my own pictures, and I couldn't get one of my AC filter.
