Let me preface this review by saying that I never thought I would be writing a review for a dryer vent hood, let alone a funny one. But here I am, and I must say that the Deflecto Dryer Vent Hood, Wide Mouth, 4", White (RVHAW4) has exceeded all of my expectations.First of all, let's talk about the "wide mouth" feature. I have never seen a dryer vent hood with such a large opening. It's like the dryer vent equivalent of a giant yawn. But in a good way, of course. The wide mouth allows for more efficient airflow, which means my clothes dry faster. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to save time on laundry day?But here's the real kicker: the white color. Now, you might be thinking, "What's so funny about a white dryer vent hood?" Well, let me tell you. My husband, bless his heart, thought it would be a good idea to paint our old dryer vent hood black to match the trim on our house. Spoiler alert: it was not a good idea. The black paint started chipping and flaking off after a few months, and it just looked ridiculous. So, when we saw that the Deflecto Dryer Vent Hood came in white, we jumped at the chance to replace our janky, DIY black hood.Now, every time I do laundry, I can't help but chuckle at our white, wide-mouthed dryer vent hood. It's like a little beacon of hope in the midst of the mundane task of folding laundry. It's also a great conversation starter. When friends come over and see our fancy new dryer vent hood, they can't help but ask about it. And who doesn't love talking about their laundry setup?Overall, I would give the Deflecto Dryer Vent Hood, Wide Mouth, 4", White (RVHAW4) four out of five stars. It may seem silly to give a dryer vent hood such a high rating, but it has truly brought joy to my laundry routine. If you're in the market for a new dryer vent hood, I highly recommend this one. It's efficient, stylish, and a little bit hilarious.Here are some useful tips and tricks for maintaining your dryer vent hood:1. Regularly clean the dryer vent hood: A buildup of lint and debris can clog the vent hood and reduce its efficiency. It's essential to clean the vent hood regularly to prevent clogging and ensure optimal performance. Use a brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, dust, or debris from the vent hood.2. Check the vent hood flaps: The vent hood flaps prevent cold air and debris from entering the vent system. Ensure that the flaps open and close correctly and that they're not stuck or obstructed. If the flaps are not functioning correctly, you may need to replace the vent hood.3. Install a bird guard: Birds and other small animals may try to build nests in the vent hood, leading to clogging and reduced airflow. Installing a bird guard will prevent animals from entering the vent hood while allowing proper airflow.4. Check the vent hood's position: The vent hood should be positioned at least 12 inches above the ground to prevent debris from entering the vent system. Ensure that the vent hood is securely attached to the wall and that there are no gaps or leaks.5. Inspect the vent pipe: Check the vent pipe for any damage, such as cracks or holes, and ensure that it's properly connected to the vent hood and the dryer. If you notice any damage, replace the vent pipe immediately.6. Regularly clean the dryer vent: In addition to cleaning the vent hood, you should also clean the dryer vent regularly. A clogged dryer vent can cause your dryer to overheat, leading to potential fire hazards. Clean the vent at least once a year, or more frequently if you notice that your clothes are taking longer to dry.By following these tips and tricks, you can maintain your dryer vent hood and ensure optimal performance and safety

Cheaper plastic, not sure how long it will last. Easy to put in even with the original being 2" larger. Only problem i had was with some of the plastic holes not being punched out. I had to use an exact knife to cut the plastic out for the grate to stay in place and for the shutter door to work. Only one hole out of 6 was actually cut out right.

I bought for my cabin to put on the end of my air exchange pipe. Wanted something to keep wind and weather out.This is seriously a crazy buy. $4 each?! I though msybe I paid $8 each, which would STILL be a good deal!The metal tube IS attached to the plastic, it comes apart if you pull REALLY hard. There is also a flap on the inside that is one way. That surprised me.For my purposes I ripped off the metal tube and stuck the end on my pvc pipe. One I had to cut the collar off to get it to sit somewhat flush. Not a big deal.I will spray these brown later to better match my cabin. Plan to buy for my dryer later when I build a house.Seriously, if you are complaining about a $4 full system dryer vent, you don't have much better things to do...

The vent this one replaced was a triple louver style that became brittle from uv radiation which let birds in. This vent works well, but the included piping is about half as thick as what i had previously. So, like others, i'd suggest removing and tossing it.

El material pese a ser barato se ve bien construido y bien diseñado, sin embargo, en mi compra me encontré con el inconveniente de que no venia el aro de plástico, si bien no es tan necesario, no venia completo, tampoco traáa el instructivo, era la pieza a granel. Me hubiera gustado que la hoja de aluminio viniera desmontada, pues resultó ser muy largo para el grueso de mi pared y cortarlo en forma de tubo y no de hoja, resulta un tanto difícil. Superados los problemas, recomiendo la pieza, para el precio esta bastante bien.

Does what it is supposed to. Very easy to install as I had an existing dryer opening in place. Fit perfectly, weather sealed the outside and voila! Has an inner flap that keeps out cool air and opens when dryer is in use. Critter cage blocks anything from coming in the bottom. Tin is thin and can be cut if needed. This fit my home which is brick on cinder block, perfectly.
