MagVent MV-180 Magnetic Dryer Vent Coupling

New dryer was deeper than the old one being replaced. The magnetic vent is designed very well and fulfilled our highest expectations. There is a very satisfying “click” when the magnets connect. We had to disconnect and reconnect several times in order to level the dryer and align it with the new washing machine. Very happy with this product and will recommend to others with limited access. Thank you.

This vent connection device works brilliantly 👏After giving Best Buy $80 for a corrugated aluminum tube and two cheap clamps, when they installed our new dryer, which left the dryer 13" off the back wall, I needed a better solution. The instructions are simple to follow, and the total project took maybe 20 minutes.The 180 kit was the perfect solution, as the dryer outlet and wall inlet in my case, were almost directly opposite each other.Very glad I found this product!!!

This product is genius. Less than 20 minutes to install. For 20 years now, I’ve been struggling trying to find a dryer vent that absolutely works in a tight spot. The problem was trying to attach vent conduit from the dryer to the wall with no bend. It enabled me to have a straight connection to the wall. Cleaning it will be easier in the future as well.

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 an awesome space saving, vent attaching product. We got it installed today. PERFECT solution for our dryer venting. Might need better instructions for drilling into cement. We tried to do it ourselves but had to call our for help and the right kind of hammer drill and cement drill bits. All and all, completely worth the expense and effort.

Yes it’s expensive but worth every penny. No more vent tube falling off because of wear. Extremely tight fit should minimize dust in laundry room. Simple install. I got it because I plan on cleaning my dryer duct work once a year and the magnetic mounts make it easy to remove and reattach. Wish I purchased it sooner. Magnets are very strong for tight hold

The mag-vent arrived quickly and was easy to install. Because of my wall, I had to make some adjustments to the wall surface. After that the installation was fast and easy. The magnet securely holds the end of the vent tightly in place and the short hose means that there isn't any long loop of compressed hose behind the dryer. Now we can use the dryer without feeling heat and moisture enter the room. I would buy again.

The MagVent 180 was a lifesaver for me, in an almost impossibly tight dryer installation. I was hemmed in by the necessity of a door closure which required that the new (4” deeper 😙) dryer be both in a corner AND 2” from the back wall! Also, a stud necessitated that the outside vent be 3” from the dryer. The sound of the MagVent “snapping” securely into place was music to my ears. After all the junk I’ve used over the years to make up dryer connections, I’ve found my “go-to” for any future installations.Sorry for no photo, but that darn MagVent is BURIED under that dryer.
