DIY Dryer Vent Connector Kit - Space Saving, Toolless Design with Airtight Seal - STV-90 by Ziggurat Products

I love the product. As anticipated it co.es with one 90 degree rigid plastic connector that prevents the dryer hose from kinking or getting crushed when you push the dryer back toward the wall. I bought 2 of them and used one on each end of the dryer vent tube. My connection come straight out of the wall (like most.) So I hooked one up to the wall and the other up to the dryer vent port. The hose gets locked into the well designed clips. Just follow the instructions and this product works very well. I watched the you tube video and it was very easy to follow. I would buy this any time I need to hook up a dryer that has any offset to the wall vent connection. 5 out of 5. This makes sure the link goes out and keeps the dryer working better.

Easy to use and install great stiffness. Very durable product. Works well with all gas or electric dryers. Great value for the money spent.

I am very happy with my purchase. I found it very easy to install and it is very effective for keeping the hose from getting pinched behind the dryer. The silicone ring was a tiny bit hard to get on but I did it relatively well. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because it is a little bit thicker than I hoped.

This item installs as easily as it shows in the video. I did have to use mu hammer a little to totally flatten the vent pipe coming out of the wall. I also found out that a 90 degree elbow fits perfectly over the plastic and tightens easily with a clamp as well!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. This might work for older types of dryers, I don't know, but I just got a new LG washer and dryer and this device is cometely useless. The "cinch" straps are way too rigid and it's not going to hold a damn thing in place. I repeatedly tried fitting on the dryer vent and the wall and it pops off as soon as you let go. I used Gorilla tape instead of the useless straps that comes with it. It held a lot better but the elbow doesn't fit securely and eventually popped off again. After patiently trying several times I finally gave up and put this elbow where it belongs, IN THE TRASH. I recently bought a new house and ordered this piece shortly after getting my washer/Dryer. I didn't move in until about a month after closing escrow and didn't get around to trying this install until it was too late to return. That's my fault but very frustrated that the video and description makes it look so easy and that it works. It simply doesn't for newer machines. And what's with the oval end? Which genius thought that was a good idea? Neither the hose or venting ducts are oval, they're all round. Now I gotta figure out how to get this vent hose connected with the 90 degrees I need.

I liked the fact that the hose was very easy to hook up to the elbow, but I am an almost 70 yr old woman, and I still take care of my yard and consider myself fairly strong, but I could not connect the elbow to the dryer without duct-taping it. Maybe because my dryer is old and had a very short connecter on it, but could not get the plastic ring to connect. It makes me wonder if it is possible, because directions say you have to push the elbow against the wall to hold it, after it is connected. Also, did not realize I needed the wall attachment until after I finally got this done. I think this is better than having to use clamps, I knew I could not attach those tight enough. Honest rating.

I had a new exhaust event put in on the side of my home, rather than having it running through the roof of my two-story home. The washer and dryer each are 30 inches wide so it left very little room to get behind to clean out the dryer vent hose and when I did it sometimes fell out when going through a few dry cycles. Needless to say with very little room to operate I needed something much more durable that would allow the vent to stay in place. Another product I purchased on Amazon worked, but it didn’t allow a 90 degree turn at the back of the dryer.This product solved all my problems and frustration! It was super easy to put in the foil vent into the housing and the design is genius and simple to keep it from falling out. The Amazon video goes through 4 simple steps: (1) put your existing or new vent hose into the plastic connector, (2) slide the connector into the plastic housing (mine was harder than it looked and I didn’t want to put a hole in the hose so I was careful), (3) slide the rubber seal onto the back of the dryer (make sure the rubber flanged end/stop is facing in the correct direction - check the illustration) and (4) slide the housing on the back of the dryer. Mine was a tight fit, but I know it’s not going anywhere.Now just slide the dryer back to the wall and ensure the housing slightly rests against the wall. The design is perfect and I’m confident the hose is no longer going to fall out. This new setup essentially allows my hose not to kink so I’m also confident the dry cycles will be more efficient and I’ll have less lint buildup in the hose over the same period of time.Overall it took my adult son and me longer to move the dryer out and back so I would say this is an easy DIY project. This particular model didn’t come with a new hose, but they’re relatively cheap. So if you have a plastic hose now would be the time to get an aluminum foil one!

Despite some Real negative reviews I purchased the item. I found it surprisingly easy to use and of good quality. Not really sure why there were so many negatives. One Little tip concerning the silicone gasket. If you find it a little difficult to slip over your dryer's exhaust, soak it in a little hot water before trying to fit it on the exhaust. Or apply a little lubricant to the exhaust. I did use some silver tape to reinforce the hose connection to the adapter although it seemed it wasn't really necessary.
