MV-180 Magnetic Dryer Vent Coupling

For 25 years I have had the old fashion holes that sits in back of the dryer, and it has been a pain. Cleaning the back of the dryer then putting the dryer back while fixing the holes so that it does not bend has been difficult and a headache. Now, with MagVent A breeze. This type of magnet works! Installation was easy. Once both parts are in place push the dryer back in place and you're done. The space behind the dryer is also a pulse. The holes dose not bend, both magnets seek each other, attach to each other and when you need to clean in the back of the dryer the magnets detach with on problem. No more adjusting the holes to fit into place. Remember to buy the right one that fits the location of the vent port. I purchased the 180 model. A must buy.

Very simple, easy to follow installation instructions and all the necessary parts were supplied.It performed exactly as described. A very strong magnet connection and sturdy parts that were made to fit together beautifully. My wall vent opening and the dryer opening were about 2-3 inches off center but the device accommodated this discrepancy in alignment just as they had promised it would.Yes, I would buy this again and highly recommend it as a solution for cramped access dryer hook ups.

Covered the hole in the wall and provided a secure connection to the dryer. The magnet connects when the dryer is close to the wall, and disconnects also without a problem when I pull the dryer away from the wall. Easy to assemble, perfect fit, and great practicality!

Had my new washer vent coming out within 3 inches of the wall vent. Couldn't use elbows or flex because I had no access on either side and needed to get the machine all the way back. This works and solves the problem. Here are the comments:-Installs to wall very easy. Cut your duct flush with metal snips and this fits right into it with a cone shaped tail piece. Wall anchors included. Don't flex the backing plate out of shape when attaching to the wall.-Alignment - I was 2-3 inches lower and 2 -3 inches side to side away from the wall vent. Took a couple of tries to get the bends just right in the hose so it would hit close enough to attach. This was a blind installation. Took 3 tries and the machine (washtower) is over 300 pounds to move in and out so not easy. But you can "pre set" the magnet on the end of the hose in the general location of your wall plate if you measure and align. The hose is rigid enough to state generally where you set it. To help align it I looped a light weight long electrical cord under the flex piece attached to the machine and over the top of the washtower and when I got it about 2 inches away from mating, I realigned by carefully lifting and moving the magnet flange over to where I needed it. Used a mirror to see from the top. Hard to explain but it works.-When attaching the duct to the dryer, the dryer outlet was a little smaller than a typical 4" pipe so on the first try of clamping the metal pipe to the dryer pipe, the metal flex pipe ripped badly right near the hose clamp. Had to cut about an inch or 2 off the metal flex pipe with snips and on try number two I put a larger diameter coupling over the dryer pipe end then clamped the flex down over it. This helped but still had slight tearing where the clamp gear is on the hose. Likely needs some tape over the clamp and hose on the end near the dryer. Wish they had made the end of the hose an aluminum coupling that could be clamped on instead of clamping the hose.- Hose is not replaceable so if you tear it bad it is gone. I would be very careful with the hose. It is metal but it is very thin.- Magnet holds pretty well but you dont really know (if you cannot get to the back/sides of the machine) if it is properly connected and sealed. Hard to see from the top of the machine with a mirror.Overall a very good idea that needs a little more improvement to make it 5 stars mostly on the quality of the hose and where it connects to the machine.

Excellent product! Saves space behind the dryer and makes it easy to pull dryer out and clean out behind and under the dryer. Easy installation!Great Product!!

This took me a couple of hours to install, but only because of my baseboard and I have zero experience with this sort of thing. I did have to buy tin snips to cut back the venting, so if you don't have those, add them to your amazon cart. Over-all a great product and easy to install, otherwise I would not been able to do it. I am sure someone who is handy with proper tools could have installed it in 10 minutes. Solved a huge problem of my dryer venting constantly coming dis-lodged and lint going everywhere. I would not hesitate to buy again, excellent quality.

Works great. Once I had a general alignment of the two sides, I very simply moved the machine back and it snapped together.I feel confident that I can clean the area more regularly because I have this system in place. I believe this will increase safety for my home.Installation was very easy.

This thing is magic and so easy to install. It should be mandatory for short-run dryer vent installs. It also makes getting behind the dryer to clean much easier.
