Product review (1 stars): Poorly made product fell apart in 3 months
LITTLE DID I REALIZE that this dryer vent tube was falling apart and causing the lint to back up in it like a stuffed pillow. I bought it 2 years ago but had kept it on a shelf until 3 months ago when I decided to replace the previous tube, thinking that rather than clean dog hair and lint out of it I'd just replace it entirely. Now I just had a repairman out to look at why the dryer was malfunctioning and he explained that the inside of this tube is coated in a thin plastic that separated when the moist warm air hit it and tangled up, stopping the air flow entirely. When he pulled the tube off there was a big tangle of plastic that had plugged it up. He replaced it with semi-rigid metal and I learned my lesson about thinking they are all the same.
