Any truth to that?

Probably more important than top or door is whether the air is drawn
through the filter or blown through it. The latter "leak" lint all
under the dryer. Sorry, I don't recall which brands are which.

I have a top filter and a few years ago I decided it would be smart
(safety-wise) for me to pull out my dryer, pull the back off and clean
out the lint I thought would be all over the place. To my surprise
there was very little. A few cobwebs but nil on the lint.

I have one dryer of each design, the front door type is easier to keep
clean.
