Pro:1. Sturdy2. InexpensiveCons:1. Very difficult to install. You have to flatten out the wiring and the PVC lining. Then you have to wiggle it and pull it onto the vent. If you don't have much room in the back of your dryer, it will be a real chore. Also beware of of the wire of the vent hose, when you try to pull hose onto the metal vent, the end of the wire WILL puncture your finger. You will have to bend it backward to prevent this. I was going to give it a 2 star, but with this, it will endSee full review
