Do dryer "condenser" kits work well enough? (www.aliexpress.us)

There are kits like this sold online, the one linked, specifically type 4 with a drawer, work as follows.

  1. Put about 1-2 cm of water in, optional an icepack.
  2. Run your dryer.
  3. At the end of the cycle, dump the collected condensed water, optionally swapping the ice pack.

Do these work well enough to dehumidify dryer output in a rental environment?

Edit 1: For those recommending me to buy a ventless / condenser / heat pump dryer.

Feel free to send me $50-100 each, as I cannot afford one.

Do note, I do have a vent near where my dryer is, it is just very loud. Thus why I was thinking of supplementing it with this.

Maybe if you get a dedicated dehumidifier for the room. I don't see those options doing enough. Dryers output a LOT of water vaper. Especially with heavy loads like towels and sheets. Even then you'd want a continuous draining one otherwise the bucket will just keep filling up.
