Cenipar Dryer Vent Cover,304 Stainless Steel Outside Vent Cover with Moving Lamellae(5-inch) Dryer Vent Cover Outside Metal Dryer Vent Cover

I'm glad I purchased this. It took minutes to install and it looks great. I replaced an old crumbling plastic one, but I didn't want to do that again and I wanted something sturdier. This is one of the best items I've ever purchased on Amazon which seems silly to say but that's life.

The old plastic vent on the house was failing with daily sun exposure. I found this stainless steel one which was plug and play. I took the time to paint it to match the house and also replaced included mesh filter with a more course one to avoid clogs from dryer but still be rodent resistant.Works fine and looks great plus it should outlive the plastic ones too.

It worked, however, with the screen on it and when dryer is on, lint will accumulate and clogged the whole thing which can potentially cause a fire. I didnt know of it til i went to check as my dryer threw a code on pertaining to the air flow, luckily i didnt screw it in so it was easy to remove. Even without the screen rats or any creepy crawlies wont be able to get in since vent part stays close and then only opens when dryer is on. Overall, the quality is good but not the greatest, as for installation, i didnt order what else was needed so it took me awhile to attach it. the circumference of the vent is exactly 4'' as a DIYer i didnt know much so i had to buy 6" attachment ring (not sure what you call it) but anyway, it worked for the time being. I should've ordered the 6'' and it would have been fine. I miss out on my window to exchange the item so im stuck with it for now.

I was laying a new floor and had to move my dryer, so I decide to clean and the vent tube and replace the outdoor cover at the same time. This was a few dollars more than the "Plastic" units but dollar for dollar the quality and precision of this unit is well more worth the difference in price. 304 SS, not plastic, smooth vane movement, not plastic that will warp and stick, Super easy installation and hands down better than all the plastic units out there. If you are doing the work, pay there few extra dollars and do it right. Great vent cover.

This vent is easy to install, and the stainless steel makes for an attractive addition.

I couldn't find a metal vent for a 6" duct in the local stores. This one fit perfectly. The plastic one I replaced had deteriorated in the sun. This one is reasonably thick sheet metal. Didn't try painting it. I thought the shiny finish looked good by itself.

..this Dryer Vent has a mesh that captures lint, making for another maintenance item. And accessing that screen means removing the whole part from the hose/wall.

Works great
