Product review (2 stars): Missing plastic rodent/bird screen (first one and replacement)
The issue with these dryer vents being shipped without the plastic rodent/bird screen or guard (described in product description and shown in product photo) apparently is still not resolved. Received mine on April 2nd 2013 and it was missing the plastic rodent/bird screen. Contacted Amazon and requested dryer vent be replaced due to missing rodent/bird screen. Shipping sent a replacement which was received on April 5th. Much to my frustration it was also missing the plastic rodent/bird screen. Otherwise this appears to be a fine dryer vent - better than many I have seen locally at the big box stores, but I need one with a rodent/bird screen.
