Rated 3 out of 5 by ms-fixit from Why don't they include screws?? This should have been a no brainer...but after I got it home and tried to install it, it didn't quite fit the opening it was supposed to go into. Now, that is more than likely due to the fact that the one it was supposed to replace was older and the way they used to be made was different. I only mention it because this might be an issue for someone else as well. Now, what i don't understand is why doesn't this come with the screws needed to attach it??? Seems very strange to me that if you need to replace one of these parts, you may need to replace the screws too. That is the reason for the low grade on features and value.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tutu from Replacement parts [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have temporarily replaced an old vent cap with this item. It has a large, flimsy, flap type circular disc inside that opens & closes with the use of your dryer. Not impressed, because when a even small amount of lint gathers at it's flap opening, it will make that "lid" stay propped open continuously & that will make a perfect cubby hole for snakes, lizards & spiders to enter our country home!!! Why can't manufacturers realize that we'd like this item to be made from ALL aluminum (even if 10 times the price of these horrible plastic ones)? We're willing to pay for quality!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Matt from Perhaps it was my house...? The vent hole circumference in the side of my house was ~1/2"-1" too small to accept the aluminum port. Even bending it wouldn't accommodate it because of the plastic housing that held the aluminum port. In any case to make it work I removed the aluminum port and the plastic housing so it would just fit flush to the side of the house and then I sealed it with silicone. When I went to attach the vent grill, the hood had warped and only one side of the grill would attach. So enter more silicone-as-glue... It works, haven't had any issue but it is rigged. Its also about 16' from ground level so I don't have to look at it :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by BillO from Best Dryer Vent Cap I've bought many of these over the years from various places and this one is by far the best. Heavier gauge plastic means less damage from the Florida sun as well as flying debris during storms. I highly recommend this product because it also has a bird screen and more solid damper which operates smoothly. Good value for the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hkatzfrau from Exactly what I was looking for. This model is far superior to the older dryer vent covers in our condo community. I like that the cover can be lifted to leave a clear passage to the dryer vent for cleaning, but secures it from little intruders otherwise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jojayla from A well designed dryer vent. The built in flap does well to block cold drafts from entering house.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Frankie from Good enough The short pipe that came with it was useless so I reused the pipe off the old vent. Don't think the cheap plastic screen will keep much out..flapper valve seams to work fine..it is not a long term , I give it two years and it will be brittle and coming apart like the last one..If I was staying in this house I would have got the metal one. And the sticker was a pain to get off had to use paint thinner.
