I bought one of these years ago and the thing fell apart within a year
or two. And despite there being many sellers and 'brands' it looks
like they might all be made by the same place. I also recall it was
still drafty in the laundry room.

There's also the louvered kind, although they seem very flimsy too and
I can imagine the wind blowing those open easy.

Any suggestions? My dryer vent exit is about 2' above the ground.


I don't understand how a leaky dryer vent could contribute to a drafty dryer
room. Maybe if you left the door to the dryer open...
