have never caused me any problems.

Should be cleaned out once a year.

I've never had one come off.

They are not a problem. Don't understand the issue.

Am I the only one that gets some twisted childlike pleasure from cleaning them??

I'm in the "have never caused me a problem" camp and agree that they should be cleaned out at least once a year. (And now there are two more things on my to-do list: find dryer vent cleaning brush and use dryer vent cleaning brush.)

Should always have a cap on them or you might find a dead bird inside the vent pipe.

I think some people are confusing vent with filter.

Never had an issue with mine. Easy on / easy off. Clean it out with the shop vac on one end and the air compressor on the other - works like a charm! (Yes, the exhaust vent hose, not the filter.)

Also never had a problem.

I don't even own a dryer. I sold it, along with my Hummer, my air conditioner, and my television. They were a package deal for the return of my soul, and a drying rack.

Someone in homewoot is projecting...

Should be easier to remove & put back so we can clean the tube out (to prevent a fire). Or WOOT could offer up the Lint Lizard at a rock bottom price. I've heard that thing really does work well.

I don't have an issue with them.

15 years, vacuumed once (5 years ago), no problem.

wat?

in-home dryers
[x] are a privilege!

Don't cause problems when attached and secured correctly.

OH MY GOSH, I have struggled with my stupid piece if s*** dryer vent for so long. Landlord won't replace it. It's older than I am (33), full of holes, comes detached every other load and is SO DAMN SHORT I have to climb on the washer and snake down behind the dryer to "reattach" it (with massive amounts of heavy duty rip-your-skin-off duct tape), if you can call it that. At least I don't have to bring my clothes to the laundromat....right?

Somebody at Woot have a smidge of a problem with a dryer vent, hmmm?

A dryer vent has never caused me a problem. If it ever came loose: SKIP THE DUCT TAPE. The vent air is HOT & will cause adhesive to fail sooner rather than later. Use a vent clamp and/or 2 sheet metal screws to hold the parts in place.

Huh, I've always just used the normal hose clamp deals to put the vent hose on. I've probably hooked up 5 or 6 over the past 30 years and I've never had any come off that I can recall.

I've had to replace one that sprung a leak (I think someone dropped something on it, but I could never prove it!)

Never had a problem with them, but if you want to talk about washing machines that like to walk across the room that is a different story!

Ha! Same here... But, I do make an exception for linens and throw them in the dryer.

Did they throw the sanctimony in for free?

As a mentally impaired clown child, I resent, or is it resemble that remark!!!

Never had any problems with them. Hmm... I wonder why they don't work for others.

Or washing machines that eat my socks.

I have never had a problem with the vents on any of my dryers ever.
