Window Dryer Vent – The Original Window Vent Kit for Clothes Dryers, 4 Inch Exhaust Hood, Adjustable Side Panels Fit 24-36” Windows, Heavy Duty Metal Design by Vent Works

Wasn't sure what to expect, as the photos just look like cheesy galvanized sheet metal, but the mfg did a thorough job on this product. The edges are almost all folded back on themselves for extra strength and rigidity, plus it eliminates most of the potentially sharp edges. It's a solid, heavy-duty item. Both ends slide out to fit the window frame, which, if you're not using the full length, gives you some flexibility on where you place the vent opening in the window opening, in case it matters. Installation was a breeze, the hardest part being crawling in behind shrubbery to remove the window screen, which on my windows need to be removed from outside. It fits snug and solid, although I'll probably seal the top with a strip of weatherstripping to fill the tiny spaces bugs could get in. It would have been nice to have a 36" strip of sticky-back foam weather strip included, for the price, but no such luck, meaning a trip to Home Depot. And that's maybe the only downside of the product - the price. It's a bit steep, but since I've found nothing similar in style or quality, they get to do that! I had the option of not paying it, of course, and trying something else, but it turns out I'm very happy with my purchase. A well-made product that does its job effectively - can't ask for more than that!

Very high quality and tough, with helpful insulation suggestions, and a strong spring on the flapper vent cover that actually allows it to open and close again, unlike most of the other cheaply made garbage that isn't manufactured to such high quality standards.

This thing is a lifesaver! It took me some wrangling to make it work perfectly for us, so here's the rundown on how we have ours all set up. I didn't want to cut a hole in the exterior wall of our house to vent from our new first floor laundry room, so I was thrilled to find this expandable window vent- it's sturdy metal and slid right in to the window frame in five seconds. It came with a screen cover for the hole to the outside, which I wanted to prevent any critters from outside crawling up into the vent. Originally, I had a metal clip and screw-on dryer hose attached, but because of the screen, dryer lint can back up there every few loads (especially since we have pets and the fur that brings). It was kind of a pain to unclip the hose every time, until I picked up a snap-on hose kit (this one is the STV-M Dryer Duct Connector - DIY Easy Dryer Vent Hookup Kit by Ziggurat, also from from Amazon). Now, every other load or so, I easily slide the plastic connector off, remove the lint and pop it right back into place in seconds. We live in a winter wonderland, so I also bought some white weather-stripping insulation tape to place around the edges in the window to keep any drafts from sneaking in around the vent (old wooden window frames, so it also helps give it an even pad to cling to all the way around in the window). Absolutely perfect for our old house with no destruction, and I'll never have to do laundry in a basement ever again. I think this vent will last us a long time and I hope they keep making them forever. Also, we had a repair guy in to balance our washer and it completely blew his mind- he thought it was the neatest dryer set-up he'd ever seen.

I needed to vent a new dryer I purchased out of a window, I found this product and after using it for two months I find it review worthy. This vent is heavy duty, slides out to fit the window opening and works like a dream, when I have to dry a load of laundry I lift up the window screen and secure it with a clothes pin, put the vent that's attached to a flexible dryer hose into the window, close the window to the top of the vent and turn the dryer on and remove it when I'm done, the vent is made so well I expect it will last for years. I just wish it didn't cost so much but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one as a gift for someone or recommend it as a great alternative to drilling a permanent vent opening thru a wall. Update; Well it finally happened I put wet clothes into the dryer and lifted the vent to put into the window, my hands were wet and the vent slipped out of my hands falling approximately 40 inches to the tile floor after bouncing off my dryer, the dryer has a small scratch and the tile has a small dent in it but the vent suffered no damage at all and that my fellow reviewers is how well this vent is made.

For 2 years I wanted a dryer for my condo but I am not allowed to cut a hole for a vent. I am allergic to everything so I didn't want to vent a dryer indoors, thinking that the moisture, heat and small particles of lint being vented indoors would make me react. So, for 2 years I researched and never came across the window vent solution! I stumbled across it by mistake and immediately bought this. I bought the NewAir Portable Dryer 3.6 Cubic Feet MiniDryer36W dyer, this window vent, a hose made for dyers (the others are flammable) and silver dryer tape. Because this takes a 4 inch hose but the dryer takes a 3 inch hose, I also had to buy an adapter that would allow me to connect a 4 inch hose to both. It works GREAT!!! The best part is that i can stick it in the window when I am using it and take it out when I am not using it...so no one can say anything about me leaving anything permanent in the window. I also want to say that I am not handy AT ALL. And I was able to set everything up within minutes. it is really good quality also. I am extremely happy with this!!

We just bought a house that has the dryer in the basement but didn't have a vent area for the dryer. We purchased this for the basement window to use as a dryer vent. The only bugger is that the vent part isn't moveable and the way we needed to install, it would have been facing to the side rather than down - my husband was able to use his grinder to remove it, turn it then bolt it back down so it still works great for us. Super sturdy metal and fit my window perfectly

It works fine for my apartment dryer
