MagVent MV-180 Magnetic Dryer Vent Coupling

The Magvent MV-180 was easy to install and works great. My dryer is between a counter and my washer. Consequently, access to the rear of the dryer was restricted and I needed a 3' piece of expandible vent pipe to connect the dryer to the wall vent outlet. The vent pipe was always twisted up after I pushed the dryer back in place. The Magvent solved that problem. The magnets click-in perfectly when the dryer is close to the wall and the vent pipe is strait, no more twists.

My metal dryer duct goes down thru floor and very close to wall. This is a great product. Easy to install. Put part on dryer with magnetic and push back and lines up perfect. No more long extra white hose that bends and gets squeezed when pushing dryer back, Make it easy one a year to pull dryer out use blower on inside and clean out lint. Have used brushes on drills and regular cleaning, once a year for single person keeps bent clean, always hand clean outside flapper. This is a true time saver and allows one to push dryer back farther.

Best purchase in a long time. I’ve never had a more solid dryer connection than this! I have them on all three of my dryers and they work great for new home construction and I’d say be simple to install on existing. The manufacturers built this thing sturdy and it’s a hard magnetic connection so I can just connect the dryer to it and slide it in place and the magnets will pull it directly into place and I don’t have to mess around trying to align two four inch pipes around each other.

Had my new washer vent coming out within 3 inches of the wall vent. Couldn't use elbows or flex because I had no access on either side and needed to get the machine all the way back. This works and solves the problem. Here are the comments: -Installs to wall very easy. Cut your duct flush with metal snips and this fits right into it with a cone shaped tail piece. Wall anchors included. Don't flex the backing plate out of shape when attaching to the wall. -Alignment - I was 2-3 inches lower and 2 -3 inches side to side away from the wall vent. Took a couple of tries to get the bends just right in the hose so it would hit close enough to attach. This was a blind installation. Took 3 tries and the machine (washtower) is over 300 pounds to move in and out so not easy. But you can "pre set" the magnet on the end of the hose in the general location of your wall plate if you measure and align. The hose is rigid enough to state generally where you set it. To help align it I looped a light weight long electrical cord under the flex piece attached to the machine and over the top of the washtower and when I got it about 2 inches away from mating, I realigned by carefully lifting and moving the magnet flange over to where I needed it. Used a mirror to see from the top. Hard to explain but it works. -When attaching the duct to the dryer, the dryer outlet was a little smaller than a typical 4" pipe so on the first try of clamping the metal pipe to the dryer pipe, the metal flex pipe ripped badly right near the hose clamp. Had to cut about an inch or 2 off the metal flex pipe with snips and on try number two I put a larger diameter coupling over the dryer pipe end then clamped the flex down over it. This helped but still had slight tearing where the clamp gear is on the hose. Likely needs some tape over the clamp and hose on the end near the dryer. Wish they had made the end of the hose an aluminum coupling that could be clamped on instead of clamping the hose. - Hose is not replaceable so if you tear it bad it is gone. I would be very careful with the hose. It is metal but it is very thin. - Magnet holds pretty well but you dont really know (if you cannot get to the back/sides of the machine) if it is properly connected and sealed. Hard to see from the top of the machine with a mirror. Overall a very good idea that needs a little more improvement to make it 5 stars mostly on the quality of the hose and where it connects to the machine.

This is such a winner. We have a very small space to work with behind our dryer. It's impossible to have a proper-length short hose because you can't get in there to attach it with the dryer pushed close to the wall. And our clothes weren't getting dry in one cycle because of the crimps and clogs in the way-too-long hose. Putting in a shorter hose has cut our drying time in half by the load, and this magnetic system made it not only possible, but really easy. There is less lint leakage and less in the trap as well, keeping our laundry room cleaner. Installation couldn't be simpler, and took all of 10 minutes tops. The hardest part will be if you need to trim the vent pipe in the wall, or bend it back. Get yourself some tin snips if you don't have any. Then just attach the flange to the wall using the included screws and anchors. Clip in the magnetic mount. Screw the short hose onto the back of your dryer in the usual way. Then push the dryer into position and watch the magnetic halves find each other like cosmic soul-mates (with a little nudge from you, if necessary). The "180" model works for vents that are perfectly aligned with the dryer exhaust, or offset up to 3 inches in any direction. Ours was exactly 3 inches offset vertically, and about the same horizontally (measuring center to center), and this worked perfectly for us. But MagVent does make other configurations for bigger offsets (like the "90"). I can't tell you how many hours of my life I've spent struggling with cleaning and reattaching dryer vent hoses. I wish I had found this sooner. It makes installation, attachment, and periodic cleaning extremely easy. I would absolutely buy this again, and will recommend it to others.

Facile a installer et fonctionne comme un charme 👌

Perfect for My Job , 5 Stars

Best Ever, strong magnet grabs the ring as soon as it gets close anyone handy can install this no more lint behind the dryer positive seal, attached a photo of it installed behind the dryer connected Awesome Product

Works great, good quality. This allowed me to get my dryer way closer to the wall than any other solution had, big difference. Use when you're trying to push the dryer on those last couple inches from the wall. Strong magnet means it finds its home easily and beware, it has been known to snap on unsuspecting fingers...

It was not as easy to install as I had hope. Works well when properly lined up but you have to be careful otherwise it can leave a gap. It took me about 90 minutes to get it setup properly. Works best if berthing lines up but if the dryer and outlet are offset it’s a bit trickier.
