Product review (4 stars): I like it --- but the install was a pain.
This dryer booster definitely lives up to its claim of being able to vent a 65ft. line, but the installation was a pain. Let me list the challenges that I had: (1) dryer booster stands on 3 rubber-tipped feet. Mine were loose so I tightened them but they wouldn't stay tight (causing the booster fan to tilt). I finally had to use some larger self-tapping sheet metal screws to tighten the legs. (2) there's some kind of position switch in the fan that detects if the fan is tilted. If tilted, the fan won't run. I had to play around with the legs until I found a position that allowed the fan to run. (3) the inlet to the fan is on the top. This means you have to put a 180 degree bend in the dryer duct hose in order for it to connect to the fan inlet. Be careful that the dryer duct hose doesn't exert an sideways force on the fan or else it may tilt (causing the fan not to run). Lastly, a suggestion to Acme Miami: how about installing a small LED on the unit that lights up when the fan is running? The reason I suggest this is: when the dryer is running, it's sometimes not easy to tell if the booster is running (the fan motor is quieter than the dryer). With an LED, you would have a visual cue if the booster is running.
