Peggy S. Oba: It keeps the cool air from settling on the floors and turn it around and it keeps the heat from rising to the ceiling.

sina: The product works, but the magnets are terrible. I had to use adhesives so it would stay on the vents.

Jack Reuvekamp: Item came quickly just as advertised , it is great as you can use it with the slots to attach it or if you vent is metal the unit has small magnets that will have it attach to vent.Very good item for the money

BMM & JPC: Updated 8/25/2021 - I realized the magnets were recessed in their slots. I pushed the magnets out of the end of the slots and the magnets then held the vent cover in place just fine. Changed from a three star to a five star.

Product arrived today and within minutes I determined that there was no way the magnets will secure the deflector to the wall register. Plan on using the grooves on either side to hold the deflector onto the register. It seems I have the "standard" size screws that hold a wall register in place and Deflect-O has been good enough to build in a hole at the bottom of the screw channel so one only needs to back the register screw out a bit to fit the deflector in place. Otherwise, the plastic appears to be durable enough for the purpose. I'll agree that if your register screws are further that 16" apart, you will begin to lose structural integrity of the deflector. Three stars for the weak magnets, but otherwise the deflector will get the job done.

Adam: The item is really thin and seems to be cheaply made. It came broken but we kept it because we're not using the magnets or screw holes, we are just resting it on the vent underneath a side table. The parts fit loose within themselves and there's not much to it. Pretty surprised that they're more than just a couple of dollars for something like this.

Maggie Chen: Tip: use a house magnet to double check if the vent is magnetic - not all are.

Unique product cus it's not the standard sizes currently available in the market. Not the sturdiest thing, so I don't think it's great value for money.
They should also include extra magnet extensions.

Amy OlssonAmy Olsson: a review for people who've read through comments about these melting. for the tl;dr crowd: yes it works. It redirects air. And the magnets are strong enough to hold onto a wall register. But here's the deal... not everyone's heaters are the same. I live in an apartment where I have one register in the living room and one in the bedroom. So unlike "central heating", all my air comes from this one register. This makes a MAJOR difference, because the temperature of said air must be drastically hotter than air spreading through several registers all over the house.
[I *need* to address the idiotic comment regarding "this melted and my heater is only set to 65 degrees". No. The heat coming out of your register is not the same temp as what the thermostat clicks on at. Your body runs at roughly 98.6 degrees. This air would feel cold on your skin if that were true. Stupid comment.] ANYWAY, so, I temped the air coming from my register and it is a staggering 280 degrees. If this is made out of polycarbonate plastic, then that begins to melt at about 297 degrees, so I can see why this might happen for some folks. And as I watched, I did notice some slight warping, so I decided to buy some...

IGP: This residential deflector is accurately shown in the picture. It is clear plastic, not white as is currently described in the additional information table or in the comparison to other similar itesms. (We have sent in an incorrect info report.). The item performs as described and the magnets are strong enough to hold the deflector to the metal vent cover even with the AC system fan on full.
Would be 5 stars but we feel, that despite its low relative cost to other Amazon offerred deflectors, it could be priced $1 to $1.50 lower to be a great (5 star) value. The thickness of the plastic is just enough to not flex and the magnets just strong enough -- it is somewhat easy to disloge the deflector from the vent.
Despite these reservations we will purchase 2 or 3 more since we know what we will be getting and delivery is quick and our need is immediate.

Update to our Review: We purchased a total of 5 deflectors, both shipments arrived quickly. There was a definite increase in the dispersion and the vertical mixing of the cooled air with the room air. While the $ savings in AC costs (electricity) were less than we expected . This is probably due to that an undersized...
