Product review (5 stars): This works very well as we just moved the washer ...
This works very well as we just moved the washer and drier to the garage.  We had to have water hooked up but putting a vent in was just too much.  My mom uses one of these instead of her installed vent because she was warned that the vent was too long from the drier to the outside and could pose a fire hazard.  Also, it took a lot longer for the clothes to dry.  Now the clothes dry in an acceptable time without the possibility of a fire.
