Damon: The weight/gauge of this metal duct is a bit on the light side but it solved my issue of t a duct with flap that won’t break down with sun exposure (my old plastic-mouthed one completely shattered to the touch one day). Might be worth adding a tiny neodymium magnet to help keep the flap closed when not running the dryer, so as not to invite rodents or other pests.

Sandra: Mr. Google helped me install it. Wasn't as easy as he described but in and done. Wanted a new one with a flap to keep bugs and critters out

Jack Dupp: Looks good and works well, and better than plastic (which will dry rot in the sun and then become permanent landfill).

Jack P: Slightly bigger than the original vent. The edges are very sharp

Great DIY: I bought this one with 4 inch Core bit on Amazon. I use Hammer Drill from Harbor Freight Tools to complete my project. I gave 3 and 4 stars because this dryer vent does not come with the screen. I have to find the way to buy 4 in plastic dryer vent draft blocker near inside of the vent pipe to prevent animals and pets.

MinnyWildMinnyWild: This is totally fine. It's not built out of bullet proof armor and that's totally OK. Build quality is very decent. If it were 4 inches longer it would have made life so much better by making me not struggle as hard to wrap the duct from the inside around it. But I've installed a few of these caps in my years of home ownership and this thing is the best by far. The venting section rotates around the duct piece which is indeed otherwise riveted to the external vent section. So if you end up turning it sideways while pushing it into the hole you made into your beloved house's wall, you can always adjust it to point the right way down.

Damazon Buyer: Well made, but the flapper lets some cold air in to the house. I installed a mesh screen on the outlet to keep critters and wasps out. Overall, it's built properly, compared to a lot of other products out there.

West Texas: When I bought my house some years ago, a manufactured home, I never noticed that there was no outside dryer vent. The dryer vented into the floor and I never thought about it. I never bothered to make sure it then routed outside. Why would I? Too many other repairs to deal with in this old house. I recently purchased a new washer and dryer and when I installed them is when I realized the dryer vented into the floor, but that was as far as it went. No wonder I get rabbits and other critters living under my house in the winter. It's warm under there.

Time to do it right so I purchased this vent. There were lots of other styles available, but they all seemed to have plastic parts that over time would become brittle and crumble. This one, being all metal, will last the rest of my life. I cut a 4 ½ inch hole in the house skirting, put a bead of caulk around the back of the vent and stuck it in the hole. I came up with four little screws, (no screws come for the four holes in the edges of the vent), screwed them in then crawled under the house. This is an old house so it sits on dirt. (Now a days, they drop them on caliche.) Crawling through 3 inch deep dirt as fine as dust and...

MB: Exactly as advertised. I saw some complaints that it is flimsy or the door did not close. It seemed to me it is made of typical gauge sheet metal used in ducting. The door stays closed for me. I like that it allows full air flow with no obstruction through a grate that will accumulate lint (this was part of a lint cleaning effort - the previous plastic vent seemed to clog easily and slow air flow, thereby exacerbating the problem). I had a bit of trouble connecting it to the existing duct since the it connects well inside the wall and it took some doing to get the two to join (neither were perfectly round). Good, simple design and well priced.
