Tools and Hardware Reviews of HEARTLAND 21000 Dryer Vent Closure
Customer Review: A good design, with some flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second floating dryer vent cap that I have purchased. The first had a hinged cap with a catch and the plastic in the hinge broke, rendering the unit useless. The design of this product seems more sensible, with the cap just fitting down over the vent. Both the floating vent caps that I have tried do an excellent job of keeping animals and cold air out of your dryer outlet hoses, although their bulkiness makes them less than unobtrusive on the side of your house.
Note added 3 months later: Unlike the previous floating cap vent I had, this unit does not trap any of the "bleed-through lint" that gets past the dryer filter and instead, blows it all over my deck where it has made a HUGE mess. I revise my evaulation to 3 stars.
Customer Review: Best dryer vent closure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second time I have had to install this type of dryer vent. I bought one like this in the early 90's from another company. It lasted longer than any other type I have ever had before. It probably would still be attached to the house, but my brother leaned something against the house, which turned over and broke the old one. Also, they recommend painting it to protect from UV rays from the sun, however if your vent is in the shade, than I don't see how that would help. I did get this product faster and cheaper through Amazon.Customer Review: Dryer Vent

Summary: 4 Stars
The dryer vent was good quality, thick plastic and the movable shuttle inside glides easily to lift when the dryer is on and close when it is off. I've had it installed for a couple of weeks and it has been working fine. Luckily we haven't had much cold weather yet, so I can not say how effective it is at blocking the cold air. The only complaint I had was that the portion of the unit that mounts to the house was significantly larger than the older vent I was replacing. I had to trim all four edges with a dremel and re-drill the mounting holes. Not a big deal, just an added step that made the difference between 5 stars and 4.
