Dundas Jafine 6" Louvered Vent Hood (BLH6WZW)

Tora Smith: Weird construction. Pipe is very flimsy. Assembly required.

James Williams: I used this to vent my portable ac out of my garage. Worked perfectly and the hose from the portable ac went into it as expected. Great value

Ross: This did exactly what I needed and could cut the tube shorter with regular scissors very easily. The tube is not a sturdy stiff metal. I did not have an issue with this but others might.

FireTurtle75FireTurtle75: Used it to set up a portable A/C in the garage to beat the summer heat. This is for the 6" vent. It's definitely bigger than I expected, but not bad. The plastic is a little thin, but it was still very sturdy. The sheet metal duct that you have to roll up was bent out of the box & I was going to buy one to replace it with something from HD, but thankfully I discovered that I didn't need it. The 6" portable A/C duct fit perfectly after I removed the factory end off of the hose. I'm happy my garage is staying at a steady 75 degrees during the triple digit temps we're having here right now.
The biggest downside to this was the cheap DIY duct that comes with it, but for the price, you can probably get a replacement & still have a good value with this vent. Now I just need to paint it so it isn't as conspicuous.

PhillipPhillip: Hehehe this thing is huge! Not in a bad way though, when I ordered it I ordered it by the duct size not the vent face so I was quite amused at the difference when compared to the standard 4" louvered vent hood. Also I found it easy to roll up the duct and fit it in, even though I purchased a used one and it was shaped like an egg when rolled once it was fitted into the hood it took on a nicer circular shape.

So, something I think is important to note. The complaints regarding the duct being hard to fold and not have a seal at the hood are ridiculous in my opinion.

Here's why:

I have a 4" model that came from the local hardware store a few years back. It too came as a sheet of aluminum to roll up and it too has holes for it to snap into place, and like the 6" big boy I'm upgrading to, it lacks a seal at the hood. These things are only problematic for people who are too afraid to or lack the knowledge to solve on their own. It is my opinion that without the pre-requisites of the complainers it offers more adaptability to the task of installation. Which I appreciate! Anyway I presume used means I bought one returned by somebody too inept to use it. Pictures show...
