I’m glad I could be of help! This will definitely solve your problem! I made a second video showing the second version of the magvent MV-90 here is that link : m.ruclips.net/video/kO7AxbgY6OA/видео.html
i had my dryer vent all set up nice and tidy no leaks. …BUT had to get a broken fridge out and new one in. this required taking the dryer out first. now if only ALL manf would just agree to place the vent out of the dryer at the exact same spot. mine is center. hole in the wall it to the right as you look at the wall. only about 12-14 inches. move the dryer over back door is blocked.
@@OutfoxArtThanks for the response. Can you tell me if I can still use the straight dryer vent path if my dryer inlet is about 5" to the right of the wall vent?
I have one of these, I love it. Hand held shower head also is magnetized, never crashes down on head or shoulder anymore, magnet grabs so quickly that it goes back in place with my eyes closed. Vive la magnet!
This is a must have now that you have educated me on it. Our washer/dryer closet is a BEAST but I can make it much easier now!! Thanks for the episode!!
I put one of these in when replacing a dryer about a year ago, and it's fantastic. I've since showed it to some plumbing guys, and they loved it, wanted to know where to get it.
Hey! I installed the metal/magnet one of these a few months ago, and yes, it's worth every penny. It made connecting the dryer to the pipe so very very easy. Another reason I installed it was because here in freezing cold northern Maine, keeping the cold from getting into the vent pipe and all the way into the dryer compartment when not in use seemed important. I simply slip a thin piece of plastic card between the magnets, and it stops any cold air right at the wall, but the magnets are strong enough to keep it sealed.
Useful, articulate, comprehensive, clearly thought through in advance...you can see the effort that went into this.....what's not to like? I bought the tool to multi-support the channel.
I installed a magvent MV90 and a recessed dry vent box a couple of years ago. Works great. When you use a recessed vent box you can get your dryer right against your wall.
Oh wow that’s so much, we just got a new dryer, and the Lows delivery guy would not hook up the new flex duck, the hole is directly out the wall , after seeing this I will certainly check this out thanks so much!
Love the idea of the Magvent!! My dryer sits against the back wall in a cubby of sorts. Hardly any access! The Magvent would definitely serve to shorten the tube length and also secure it to the exterior exhaust opening! Thanks so much for this!
@@FixThisHouse I’ve watched 2-3 of your videos and now I’m a subscriber you got some cool home improvement tips 👍I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I've had the 90° model for a couple years now and what a fantastic solution to the loose dryer vent hose. I can attest to the magnet being strong... it will pinch the snot out of your finger.
Just installed a Magvent in my home and it works very well. One caution though. If there is an offset between the dryer outlet and the wall hole by more than three inches the install is more difficult. Meaning if the two holes do not exactly line up by more than 3 inches the flexible hose may kink. or not reach.
This is one of the best inventions yet for me. I really want the magnet one. Thank you so much.😊😊😊 Your invention is awesome as well. Very handy and compact.
Great video! Will be adding one of these vent attachments to my dryer. Regrettably- neither of the two vent attachments are available on Amazon. Right now. The clamps are and will get a pair
I vent out through the basement window. I have a piece of sheet metal in place of the glass pane. Am I to assume this magnetic metal dryer clamp will also work? I like this concept.
You should have installed on an existing vent pipe in wall. I tried the white plastic one, 4" to 4" and it did not fit. Will your magnetic one one fit on existing 4" vent pipe?
If the vent is to the floor like your first example, then the magnet doesn't really save space if the dryer is on top of stacked front loads correct, it just makes it easier to clean out?
Our Whirlpool electric dryer doesn't dry. We cleaned out the vent (from outside and inside) and it was fine. It gets hot but it seems the moisture doesn't get out so the dryer door is all wet and fuzz is all over it and the clothes are still wet after running a cycle or several. Uncle replaced some little tiny part but it still isn't working. Any help or advice?
Is there any way to install this device without having to cut your existing metal part that’s sticking out of the wall? Or without cutting it in slits and bending it back?
Thank you so much for the awesome video!! We have put more stock on our website and hope to have all of our other channels back in stock in the next couple of weeks. Once again thank you so much for the awesome video!
@FixThisHouse I'm in Southern California. Tomorrow I will be going down to pick one up. I heard that Walmart has them. I normally shop Lowe's but I will check out home depot I will pick up several. I remodel houses myself for a living.
Great video, very informative as usual. Have you considered offering discounts for multiple purchases of your 46 in 1 Pocket Tool? I’d like to give as gifts. Thx!
I think a lot of people don't even know they are supposed to clean the vents, and a huge portion that do know still don't clean them. I am guilty of this myself, but eventually I will get in there and clean it out.
Seemed like a good idea until I saw the price. Over $60! And I'm surprised there isn't an option for attaching the other end to the dryer itself. I actually have a more difficult time with that one on my dryer.
Wouldn’t the temperature of the dryer make magnet reduce its strength? Depending on the Curie temperature of the magnet, and how much heat is reaching at the meet point, it can lose its magnetic ability permanently. Even the heat doesn’t reach to Curie temperature, over time being exposed to heat frequently it can lose its magnetic ability to the point where it doesn’t hold up.
First of all, never ever use that flexible dryer vent hose. It’s actually a fire hazard and many people have learned that the hard way with having fires that started in their dryer vent. Your dryer lent builds up on all those ridges inside the dryer vent hose and left unchecked that lint can build up badly enough to completely close off the vent and the heat will build up in the hose till it catches fire. You should always use a metal vent pipe with an elbow if needed. Straighter you can keep your vent pipe the better. You want to avoid running vent pie up the wall as much as possible. I have seen some people have their vent hose running from the floor to ceiling and especially using that flax hose you’re asking for nothing but trouble! I’m a contractor, so I have seen many of these issues where there was fires and the hose needed remodeling afterwards. Please don’t risk it, even a fire in these hoses could cause lost of life if not caught quickly enough!
That is a great tip for everyone! The hose that we use is actually DryerFlex from a company called Innovate and is the only UL2158A approved hose on the market. Thank you for helping spread knowledge on fire safety when it comes to dryer venting.
The magnetic dryer vent disconnect is a good solution for anyone moving their dryer on a regular basis, but the flexible, foil style of dryer duct should never be used. These "lint trappers" are responsible for the majority of dryer fires. Always install a rigid galvanized steel or aluminum dryer vent pipe for the shortest run possible, which will automatically clear itself of any lint that manages to bypass the dryer's exhaust filter. A quality installation of 8 feet or less will never accumulate lint and will require no maintenance.

Same here LOL, dust is everywhere behind our dryer! 😂
I work in the small team behind Magvent and we are ecstatic to see everyone enjoying our products!! 😄
Amazing! Please tell your team to have these stock up back in Amazon please! Thank you!
@@FixThisHouse Working hard on it as we speak! 😁
What is the probability for dust seeping through the magnetized areas when the dryer is in use?
@@n0nyabznss We quality check the seal at several points during production, so it should be a dust-tight seal! 🙂
@@OutfoxArtThanks for the response. Can you tell me if I can still use the straight dryer vent path if my dryer inlet is about 5" to the right of the wall vent?
I really appreciate your taking the time to create mockups to clearly show what you are doing!
Excellent! Dealing with the traditional connections is as aggravating as having in-laws visit.
I think your video was a hit! Everywhere I look they are “out of stock” 😂😂
Even the Magvent website says out of stock!

Wow - this is great.
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
What are super invention didn't know existed Fantastic! Thanks for making this video!
I did the same for my enclosed 3D printer to vent the fumes outside. I embedded magnets into the 3D printed flanges
Do you have anything comparable for where the female end of the vent is aiming downwards from the ceiling? Thanks. Glenn
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for this one...
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
I need this!!! Thank you for this information 😊.
Awesome thank you! I have a dryer vent related question...are you aware of any flatter style ones?
Thank you! Here is the flatter type version : amzn.to/439amCL
Have it. Repairmen love me.
I noticed they also have a right-angle version called Magvent MV-90, which is interesting.
I saw that! It looks like it would sit much more flush in certain situations 👍🏽😊
cool, I will have to get this. Thanks for the info.
Nice work dude. I didn't know these existed.
Excellent video. Thanks..

Hi! I have a layout similar to yours where the vent is on tile. How did you connect yours to the tile?
How long do the magnets last
Can this be used for a ceiling fan in a bathroom or a laundry room?
this is great, but ideally for me to have it detach/attach to the dryer itself as that's where i would start cleaning out the vent from
How long would those magnets last? I know some magnet pruducts become weaker over time.
I really like the magnet idea, however your link says unavailable
Thank you! Sorry it should be in stock soon

Thank you for this comment! Please stay tuned! I’ll make a video on this matter 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse Thanks!
If you replace the dryer get a Lg Heat pump unit no need for venting I love it
Is there any way to install this device without having to cut your existing metal part that’s sticking out of the wall? Or without cutting it in slits and bending it back?
Get a Lg heat pump dryer No need for venting I have one best damn dryer ever.
My dryer runs through my basement window, and I was wondering if they have this vent for those kind of hook ups
Magvent makes a 90 deg one that turns, not cheap though, at last in canada.
Wow amazing video 😊
Great products and idea. 👍new subscriber here
That flex vent is not legal on gas dryers, at least in MA. Wonder if it would work with rigid vent pipe?
Nice

What if your vent is not round but more of round rectangular
how long till it wears out and falls off ?
I think a lot of people don't even know they are supposed to clean the vents, and a huge portion that do know still don't clean them. I am guilty of this myself, but eventually I will get in there and clean it out.
they should’ve made a piece to attach to the dryers.
Seemed like a good idea until I saw the price. Over $60! And I'm surprised there isn't an option for attaching the other end to the dryer itself. I actually have a more difficult time with that one on my dryer.
Will the heat not damage magnets? I mean heat has an adverse effect on magnetism.
From the comments, some has had this installed for years now and still going strong 💪🏽 👍🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse That's good to know.
I never had a problem Putting on the tin foil type dryer vent pipe
Wouldn’t the temperature of the dryer make magnet reduce its strength?

Would this one work if the dryer vent is in the floor?
Yes this will work 👍🏽
Great product but duct is too short for some. I need at least three feet to vent.
The flex is always an option :) you can use your own hose and make it as long as you need!
I got duct tape on mine and I'm good with that. this seems like a lot of work for not a lot of gain.
I would give it a try. Duct tape tends to get brittle over time
@@FixThisHouse This is true. fair enough. I have to replace my dryer in a couple of years anyway so I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Your video was posted less than a day ago and the magvent is already sold out (unavailable). 😢😢. I need that!!!!

Thank you, one quick comment, you never show how the dryer side hose connects to the magnet side for those that would like to see it.
The magnetic dryer vent disconnect is a good solution for anyone moving their dryer on a regular basis, but the flexible, foil style of dryer duct should never be used. These "lint trappers" are responsible for the majority of dryer fires. Always install a rigid galvanized steel or aluminum dryer vent pipe for the shortest run possible, which will automatically clear itself of any lint that manages to bypass the dryer's exhaust filter.
