Works well in the confined space for the overhead dryer The door is clear of the filter The filter is at a manageable height

My husband installed ours this morning, and I am already impressed. When our house was built the dryer was vented up a tube in the wall and out a vent on the roof. My husband didn't like cleaning out the tube, so he vented the dryer out into the garage - but lint seemed to be getting everywhere with the lint catcher he was using. This looks like it will solve the problem, and the installation was really easy. UPDATE We have been using this for a couple weeks now and are very happy with it. The only thing we thing the manufacturer should change is the changeable filter. We experimented with various filters and determined the following after installing the vent and weighting the change your filter door as per the instructions: (1) The changeable filters that comes with the vent are too lightweight and almost impossible to clean. The change your filter door popped up after only 3 loads - with little lint on the filter. (2) I then tried just the metal filter - which never popped up the change your filterdoor - but blew small particles of lint into the garage and all over the car. I had to use a Swiffer duster to clean up the mess. (2) I next tried a 3/4 inch thick washable filter cut from a a/c filter (about the same thickness as the filters that came with the vent) - and while it was easier to clean, the change your filter door popped up after 6 loads - with a moderate amount of lint in the filter. (3) I next tried a 1/4 inch thick washable a/c filter - which was the easiest to clean, and the change your filter door didn't pop up until 10 loads - or a week of laundry. I will be purchasing the 1/4 inch a/c filter and cutting multiple filters for the vent at quite a bit if savings over the filters that can be purchased from the manufacturer. They also work much better than the ones provided by the manufacturer. The pictures below are of the installation in the garage with the change your filter door popped up, and the metal filter and 1/4 inch a/c filter after 10 loads (1 week) of laundry. This appears to be the right combination for maximum efficiency and longest filter use between changes. Update 2 - 10/20/16 I have added a picture of the filters I experimented with. The green and black ones on the top work best. The blue one (I tried 1/2 in. & 1/4 in. were as bad as the filter provided by the manufacturer. The denser the filter the less loads. The two less dense/light weight filters did as good as of a job at blocking the lint as the denser filters. Filters in picture: 1) The green filter is from the cheapest whole house a/c filter my husband could find. It's about 1/8 inch thick. My husband had to remove it from the cardboard frame it came in. This worked as well as the black filter - about 10 loads. These are not washable at all - must be tosed after using. 2) The black filter is a foam window unit a/c filter, about 1/8 inch thick - it was the cheapest and worked as well as the green filter - about 10 loads. This was the most washable - but since they are cheap - I have been throwing them away after one use. 3) The blue filter is made out of dense fiberglass or natural hog hair (not sure which) - I tried 1/2 inch thick and 1/4 inch. The 1/2 inch thick one worked as poorly as the one provided by the manufacturer of the dryer vent. The 1/4 one worked slightly better. These are supposed to be washable - maybe with a power washer? 4) The white/blue filter is the one provided by the manufacturer - I got the least amount of loads with it (it and the 1/2 inch blue filter) - and it really isn't very washable. Update 3 03/26/2017 - Magnet Weights I have found that over time the glue on the magnet weights degrades and the magnets fall down into the vent. I would recommend putting the magnets on the top of the pop-up flap and not the underside. It's still a very good solution to my dryer venting needs - perhaps just needs a few design changes. Update 4 07/22/2017 I've added more pictures of my filter solution. The cheap ($2.94 packet of 4 20x25x1 fiberglass air filters) Flanders Easy Flow green filters from Walmart are the best. (I couldn't find them on Amazon). Just pull off the cardboard and you can cut out 6 filters from one big filter. Use care as fiberglass can poke you - using gloves while doing the cutting can eliminate that problem. As I said in another update - double up the filters in the unit. I replace the one closest to the air flow once every week to week and a half. The other about once a month. In the pictures I've added you can see how well this traps the lint - keeping it from escaping into my garage. I still highly endorse the vent - just not their filters and magnet weights - but by trail and error found good solutions.

I waited several dryer uses to post my review. I'm really happy with BetterVent. I live in a small condo, where we are unable to vent the dryers outside. I used to have that bucket system, but didn't realise I was to put water in it, and had to clean a thin film of lint all the time. Finally my brain kicked in and I thought --- I wonder if there's a different option? And voila! BetterVent. I have that stackable washer/dryer that condos permit, in my storage room. And I don't have a ton of wall space. So I just used this awesome, heavy double sided tape stuff and taped it to the side of my machine. Didn't need to use the extra magnet weights, as I don't think those stackable washer/dryers are that powerful. It does kick out 1 or 2 small lint balls, the size of a pea, I think out the top. But nothing like the lint dust from before. So easy to clean. I do have to open the storage room door while I'm doing laundry, otherwise it's too humid. I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend.

Since I have 3 dogs I didn't want an indoor dryer vent that had to use water because it would be too easy for my dogs to knock over. I read several reviews before choosing the BetterVent. This gadget is great. It was easy to install on the wall right next to my dryer. After putting it together and attaching an 8 foot long dryer vent hose to the dryer and the Bettervent hose opening on the bottom I finally got to enjoy drying about 4 loads of laundry. (Honestly, who "enjoys" doing laundry.) I have a ceiling vent in my laundry room so I used that to pull moisture out of the laundry room for the second load. I forgot to turn it on for the first load but I really didn't notice the room which is small warming up much at all. I bought this because we have a mobile home and the vent going to the outside of the house is either broken away from the outside vent or it was hopelessly clogged after 14 years. I had bought a new dryer that has digital buttons and a dryer vent warning if the vent is not clean and it had blinked constantly when I did one load with the dryer vent that went under our house. I stopped using the dryer at that point so I wouldn't burn it up and hung up the blasted clothes on the line again temporarily. Calls to find out if it could be repaired and cleaned were not good. Repairs, cleaning etc would have cost over $300.00 and that was only if I could find someone to work on a mobile home. Yeah, right. We mobile home owners are the one legged, ugly red headed step children no one wants to do any work for. So $48.00 for the Bettervent seemed a lot better and less expensive alternative. 1. Easy to install (I'm in my 70's and a kid or old lady like me can install this.) 2. It looks nice and is well put together. 3. It's easy to clean. Just open the door and any lint that's caught on the screen inside can be cleared off easily.) 4. The "robbers" that want you to spend large amounts of money are losers on this. 5. I asked questions and the BetterVent people answered my questions the same day I asked. Great customer service. 6. I am now a happy one legged, ugly red headed step child with a mobile home and a dryer vent that works. So if you have any doubts about the BetterVent you can use this without any worry. I had doubts but not anymore. This gadget really works and I am really happy with this purchase for my laundry room.. One more thing. It was shipped quickly and I got it a day before the estimated delivery dates. Adding additional information. I've had this for a few months now and I've been using the same filter. It can easily be cleaned by using a bottle brush, the kind with bristles, not the foam kind to gently hit the lint loose that collects on the inside of the filter, the light blue side of it. It gets pretty dark as it fills up with lint but goes back to the light blue color when its been batted clean. I do this outside obviously. The screen catches the rest. I also have developed the habit of washing the clothes at night and drying them in the mornings to take advantage of the "free heat".. The heat warms up the laundry room and some of that heat makes its way into the rest of the house. It is not only drying my clothes but its also saving me heating costs as well.
