This item is a Godsend for those of us with laundry closets that are too small for normal venting situations and that require close-to-the-wall, expandable vents. However, the difficulty with this item is in its design: square corners rather than curved ones. Lint accumulates in its corners especially and the vent must be cleaned routinely. Mine worked great for about a year and then began clogging up. I now have to clean the vent after 2 or 3 uses, and, being in a small closet, it can be quite a feat to get behind the dryer to disconnect/clean/reconnect the vent. If you have room to easily get behind your dryer, you won't have the problem cleaning the unit.

I'd rate this item 5 stars for meeting an essential need, but 2 stars for its square-end design and the problem keeping it unclogged.

The bottom line is that, if you are like me, this is your ONLY CHOICE. (Although there are comparable items on the market, they are designed the same.) Consider this item a necessary evil.

I am purchasing another one to see if I have fewer problems with it.

The quality of this item is pretty bad. The 2 pieces don't fit together very well, allowing a large enough gap that it would end up blowing air from the dryer into the room unless you wrap it with some type of duct tape. You can buy a better quality version of this item right at your local Lowes. If I'd have known that, that's what I would have done.

In fact, when I went to Lowes to pick up some other items to complete this project, I saw the better version of it, bought it, and installed it. Plan to throw this one away ... would have loved to return it but didn't keep any of the packaging materials. Do yourself a favor, buy it at Lowes and not here on amazon.

We wanted to relocate the dryer vent down through the floor and across our crawl space to the outside. This was just what we needed. The local home improvement stores didn't carry it and the heating and AC places needed to order it as well. This company was good to order from and carried just what we needed. Installation was straight forward. Our laundry room is just the way we want it now. Would order from this company again.

Material to thin or light. Couldn't keep it in shape while moving dryer into place. It keep bending. It's in the trash!

This periscope allowed me to redirect the exhaust and move my over/under washer/dryer 2 inches closer to the wall, which in turn allowed me to utilize both doors in my utility room. Because I extended it to the max I sealed the sliding parts with silicone to assure that all the hot exhaust went outside. I have not complaints and would buy it again if the need arose.
