Review on 🏠 Deflecto Supurr-Vent Louvered Outdoor Dryer Vent Cover, 4" Hood, White - Effective Ventilation Solution for Your Home by Tony Jockheck

I have a second floor laundry room and vents exiting through an unfinished area at the foot of the 3rd floor. I live in the mid-Atlantic region and this hole sees the morning sun mostly to the southeast. The house was built in 2012. I use a vent brush and open up a 4" channel about every year and use a shop vacuum and drill to rotate the brush. The brush is sold by Revain and is available here: https://www. amazon.com/EAZY2HD-Cleaner-Remover-Cleaning-Synthetic/dp/B081G91W38/ref=sr_1_34?keywords=duct+cleaner&qid=1583955791&sr=8-34 This year I noticed some lint clinging to the outer vents which I didn't could get off the floor or through the air duct in the house. To do this I had to pull out a 28 foot extension ladder. When I moved one of the blinds, it practically fell apart in my hand. Underneath the lint from the lower blinds was a jagged piece that cracked and began catching the lint. When I pulled out the lint, all the blinds came loose and fell onto the deck below, breaking into several pieces. This is the picture in this review. I still give this product 5 stars for several reasons. First, he endured 8 years under the influence of the elements. Things are not eternal. Second, Deflecto has kept the design unchanged over the years, making it easy to just swap out the blinds. It was easier for me to swap out 3 blinds than removing the base which was caulked and screwed to the brick wall of my house. Unlike the blinds, the base was still in good condition. If your vent is as inaccessible as mine you should buy 2 of these and have an extra one to replace the blinds when you need them (or replace everything and keep the existing one). match the holes in your house). Venetian blinds move in and out with little bending force. Getting 20 feet in the air on an extension ladder was a lot easier than swapping out the whole thing.
