I looked at a LOT of dryer vent things here on Ebay, and ended up choosing this one because it had a rather inconspicuous, yet still appealing appearance, with a very good price tag. I am happy that it worked out that way. The vent thingy was super easy to 'install' (it just 'fit' onto that big hole in my exterior wall - no muss, no fuss). Usually if there's a wrong way, I try that route first. With this, I guess there is no wrong way to install it. It took like 2 seconds - at most. And, lo and behold, the fit is snug and secure. So now, the front of my house looks less hole-y and slightly hoighty-toighty with all these new good looks it has from this new dryer vent thingy. It works exactly as described. The little flippy panel stays snugly closed when the dryer is not in use, and gently flaps or stays ajar while the dryer is in use - depending on the time of the cycle, I guess? I don't know. It's just pretty darned cool if ya ask me. I can't speak as to energy savings yet, or retaining heat when it's cold out by having the flippy door shut when not in use because it's like, 200 degrees here smack dab in the middle of the Summer. So, that's a strong "maybe?" on that part. However, it seems like a sound theory to me at this point. I hope this is helpful for anyone who has a broken exterior dryer vent thingy or a gaping hole, like ours was here, in it's place or for anyone who just wants one that looks nicer and is priced low enough you won't have to skip that vacation to Aruba you've been planning, or at least you can keep enough of your hard earned 'devil's lettuce' to get a coffee and a nice slice of pie or something. I'm attaching photos for your perusal, dear shopper, but please forgive me the lint remains that seem to be there on the siding. I overlooked that for some reason, and it's 11:30 at night here, so I'll get to that tomorrow. I promise.Read full review
