“A month ago the "Check Vent" warning light on the dryer lit up.  I have a stacked washer/dryer in a narrow closet, and wasn't eager to pull them out to clean the vent.

But I did, and it's a good thing.  Here are two pictures of the lint I cleaned out of the vent:

I hadn't found MagVent at that time, so I reinstalled the old vent and pushed the washer/dryer back into the closet, expecting that the lint problem would recur.  A look at the old vent shows why:

With that many twists and turns in the vent, it's a "made-to-order" lint catcher.

Then I found MagVent online and ordered it.

Installation was easy, except for having to pull the washer/dryer out of the closet again.  Here are the two pieces, attached to the wall and to the vent on the back of the dryer:

Then I pushed the appliances back into the closet.  Here's the view behind the dryer afterwards:

I had tied a string around the flexible piece of the vent and taped it to the top of my dryer so the vent wouldn't sag as I pushed the dryer back into the closet.

I expect better air flow, which should keep lint from getting trapped!

Another benefit:  as can be seen from the before and after pictures below, the washer and dryer sit back into the closet!

Before:

A great product, easy to install.  It allows the dryer to sit back closer to the wall, and I expect that it will reduce the risk of lint build-up in the vent, which reduces the risk of fire!

Thank you!
