Product review (5 stars): Great solution to our space problem
We moved to a new home and I was excited to finally have a laundry "room" (aka closet) on the 2nd floor.  I bought a brand new  washer & dryer for the first time ever - couldn't wait to get connected and go!  But it wasn't that easy. The problem...only 6 inches of depth work with and only a few inches left-to-right. Both the house "in" duct and the dryer "out" duct are low to the ground and create an awkward angle.  We tried 2 different periscopes and a few other variations on that theme.  After 6 hours, 2 trips to HD and 1 to Ace, we had a pile of trash and no dryer.  Thank goodness we found this Elbow on Amazon.  2 of these, 5 inches of duct and a few clamps and we were done in 20 minutes. This is a quality item. Nice and sturdy and worked perfectly. The ad says its a "Whirlpool" product but mine said "Maytag". I also bought the vent clamps as an add-on item and was glad.  They were easier to work with than the 4" worm clamps I bought elsewhere.  All in all a very good product.
