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.

I would sooner invest into a really long, reasonably well insulated hose to hang out the nearest window. If you can manage that sub 3 yards and the hose doesn't dip too much below it's exhaust vent height, I think this solution might beat DIY ice pack dehumidifiers.
