Just an unbiased review of the two types of drying towels i have, my 5+ year old Pakshak Ultra Soft Waffle Weave 16" x 27" towels and my like new Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy 16" x 16" towels. I tried to like the MM DMC. It's a pleasure to handle because it's just so damn soft and plush. But i just couldn't get around to liking it as much as my standard go-to PS USWW. The PS USWW is a much better value at about 50% the cost of the MM DMC. The MM DMC just picks up too much lint. Yes, i always wash my dryer filter before drying my MF's, and i keep all my towels in gallon sized zip lock bags. I also find the PS WW is just much more versatile, for glass cleaning and wax removal for instance.
