BetterVent is a better way to take care of venting an electric dryer.
Since I have 3 dogs I didn't want an indoor dryer vent that had to use water because it would be too easy for my dogs to knock over. I read several reviews before choosing the BetterVent. This gadget is great. It was easy to install on the wall right next to my dryer. After putting it together and attaching an 8 foot long dryer vent hose to the dryer and the Bettervent hose opening on the bottom I finally got to enjoy drying about 4 loads of laundry. (Honestly, who "enjoys" doing laundry.) I have a ceiling vent in my laundry room so I used that to pull moisture out of the laundry room for the second load. I forgot to turn it on for the first load but I really didn't notice the room which is small warming up much at all. I bought this because we have a mobile home and the vent going to the outside of the house is either broken away from the outside vent or it was hopelessly clogged after 14 years. I had bought a new dryer that has digital buttons and a dryer vent warning if the vent is not clean and it had blinked constantly when I did one load with the dryer vent that went under our house. I stopped using the dryer at that point so I wouldn't burn it up and hung up the blasted clothes on the line again temporarily. Calls to find out if it could be repaired and cleaned were not good. Repairs, cleaning etc would have cost over $300.00 and that was only if I could find someone to work on a mobile home. Yeah, right. We mobile home owners are the one legged, ugly red headed step children no one wants to do any work for. So $48.00 for the Bettervent seemed a lot better and less expensive alternative. 1. Easy to install (I'm in my 70's and a kid or old lady like me can install this.) 2. It looks nice and is well put together. 3. It's easy to clean. Just open the door and any lint that's caught on the screen inside can be cleared off easily.) 4. The "robbers" that want you to spend large amounts of money are losers on this. 5. I asked questions and the BetterVent people answered my questions the same day I asked. Great customer service. 6. I am now a happy one legged, ugly red headed step child with a mobile home and a dryer vent that works. So if you have any doubts about the BetterVent you can use this without any worry. I had doubts but not anymore. This gadget really works and I am really happy with this purchase for my laundry room.. One more thing. It was shipped quickly and I got it a day before the estimated delivery dates. Adding additional information. I've had this for a few months now and I've been using the same filter. It can easily be cleaned by using a bottle brush, the kind with bristles, not the foam kind to gently hit the lint loose that collects on the inside of the filter, the light blue side of it. It gets pretty dark as it fills up with lint but goes back to the light blue color when its been batted clean. I do this outside obviously. The screen catches the rest. I also have developed the habit of washing the clothes at night and drying them in the mornings to take advantage of the "free heat".. The heat warms up the laundry room and some of that heat makes its way into the rest of the house. It is not only drying my clothes but its also saving me heating costs as well.
