Product review (5 stars): Dryer Dock
This gadget it great! My dryer used to vent though the attic, then out, but it was plastic duct, so mice would make holes, and I'd have to haul the dryer out, undo the hose from the back and rescue them. Needing to replace this system, I decided to board up the hole in the ceiling, have a piece of luan cut to fit my bathroom window, with a 4" circle cut out of it. I bought a length of metal duct hose and this neat dryer dock, installing it's components on the wood piece and the end of the duct hose. Now, I just insert the wood into the window, lock my dryer hose/duct into it and, Ta-Da!, it's vented outside. When I'm done, I only have to do the reverse. No more mice rescues and, in the winter, I can even put a nylon stocking over the end of the hose and let it vent inside the house for some moist heat. This dryer dock has made things very versatile for me.
