A Need to VentDec 02, 2008
By Spudman
Venting all that hot dryer air into the basement seems like a good idea, much better than letting all that expensive heat go to waste.
The concept is not without its drawbacks however. The first blast of hot air is laden with moisture, moisture better vented outside even in the winter. I've found the best solution is to vent the first few minutes of the dryer outside before flipping the lever on the dryer vent.

This particular model is a little better than the one I had previously. The round lint trap is easy to pull on and off, an important feature for my wife and me. Installation was fairly easy, but I was disappointed to discover there is no hanger on the back of this vent. To keep the vent in place I wound some heavy wire around two masonry nails on either side of the vent. So far that has kept the vent secure.

Out of the box this vent, like the Ace vent it replaced, was literally coming apart at the seams. I glued the gaps in place before installation though the metal clamps probably would have pulled them together.

The Dundas dryer vent comes with two plastic clamps which I chose not to use. The metal clamps hold more securely and are much easier to remove.

The screen's mesh is not very fine so too much lint escapes into the air. For now I put a piece of stocking over the screen to catch more lint. A four inch duct clamp holds the stocking in place.

So far the vent is doing what it's supposed to do and the lever for controlling air flow is adequate; it keeps the flapper in its intended position. How long the Dundas Jafine solution will hold up to the roughness of wife and daughter remains to be seen.

Lint Screen could be a little betterNov 29, 2008
By A. Belletete
The device does what it says, it keeps the warm moist air in the house when wanted. The only problem is that lint filter is not that fine. We took off the supplied lint filter and attached a cut off leg from a pair of pantyhose to the vent with a rubber band. This works much better than the supplied lint trap as the pantyhose have a finer mesh and do not have to be cleaned as often.

A wonderful idea.Dec 09, 2007
By Mark S. Holden
This allows you to switch from venting your dryer outside in the summer to venting it inside for the heating season - with a fine screen lint trap for the inside outlet.

If you vent outside, you're throwing away moist warm air.

This is a dirt cheap way to save a little on your heating bill and get extra humidity in the air.

They're very easy to install. And once it's in it'll last for years.

You'll probably save enough to pay for it at least once a year.

Wanna save some money in the winter?Jun 19, 2009
By Jonathan Huckabay "Hekkenschutze"
Well if you have an electric dryer, this is the best way! In the winter you just turn the valve to shut off the hotair's route to the outside, yet to turn that hotair into your house.

It works, it really does and it provides a "wet" heat that smells like fresh linen (go figure, right?) instead of that "dry" heat that dries you out.

Well worth the money for the sweet smelling "wet" heat that it adds to your home.

Does what it's intended.Mar 21, 2010
By A. Logan "flcruising"
Definitely helped raise the humidity in our house this winter. Our furnace sits in a closet with a louvered door open to the laundry room. When we ran this open with the dryer, we just switched the furnace blower ON to send it throughout the house. A digital hygrometer showed it raise the humidity one day from 16% to 45% with 2 loads of laundry. Worked perfectly. Made the house much more comfortable during dry winter.

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is you can't rely on the screen cover it comes with...it doesn't catch anything. A panty hose leg worked perfectly, just not so tasteful :P
