I wanted a dryer vent that got my dryer closer to the wall since my laundry room is such a tight space coming off the garage. Because of this vent, we were able to the dryer in 7-8 inches from where it previously sat. We did not end up trimming it at this point, the full size fit just fine by shifting our washer more to the right.

Really only needed to move my dryer over 2 inches and keep it as close to the wall as possible. Also needed the front of the dryer to line up with the washer, which was 3 inches to far out. This was perfect. No leaks, either. Would highly recommend.

It works great. Was not a lot of space for the dryer, so this was necessary for it to fit in the space.

I purchased a new washer dryer and dishwasher I also purchased all the install kits for each applications . after best buy did the install I looked and they reused the old one and I still paid for this one

I have a small laundry room in my apartment and needed the Periscope Dryer Vent so I could get my dryer closer to the wall. It worked pretty well. Originally I had used the regular dryer vent hookup and it was very bunched up behind my dryer which worried me as a fire could have been started. The Periscope Dryer Vent worked quite nicely for the space.

Allow me to clear some misconceptions. When this item says 0-18, it's a bit of a poor description. It's 18" from center hole to center hole out of the box (overall length 24.5"). It's not expandable to 18" by pulling on the ends. If you want it less than 18", you MUST cut it. And, of course, it couldn't be less than about 5" in length just due to the connections. (A 0-5" periscope vent already exists, so 5-18 is a better description for this one). It says 2.5" profile (depth), supposedly allowing the dryer to sit back about an inch to 1.5 inches closer than the standard semi-rigid venting. I suppose that is dependent on your wall vent. If the wall vent does not allow the periscope vent to sit flat against the wall, any advantage is lost (see photo after Geek Squad installed the periscope vent). I had 3 Geek Squad installers for the new washer and dryer (separate trips for various reasons) and none of them recommended the periscope vent kit. They said they leak air, requiring a lot of foil tape, and don't really save you any room. In my case, that proved to be correct. I needed the space savings to close my closet doors, and in the end, the installers used foil flexible duct. The periscope vent may work in an ideal situation, but considering you may have to cut it and then tape it all over, it doesn't seem worth it...at least to me.

This periscope works great with my new dryer. It fits perfect on the back of my dryer. The only down fail is it's not real long.

Great vent. Works for tight spaces and allows you to push the dryer closer to wall.

Gives a better hook up for dryer vent than using one of those accordian hoses and lets dryer sit closer to wall. This has to be trimmed with tin snips then use aluminum tape to make sure it is sealed well. This is an easy task to do. This comes in a larger size in case the offset measurement is bigger than the 18" maxium spread. Good quality item.

Easy to use and very convenient. I didn't have lots of space in the laundry room and this completely changed the game for me. 12/10

dryer vent was great fit, holds in place for subdivion type houses and designated spaces.

This is a good product and the price is reasonable,it’s easy for installation.

Our dryer kept going out and we couldn't figure out why. Finally on the 5th repair, the repairman mentioned there wasn't enough room for our dryer to push back and not smash the flexible hose. I started researching dryer exhaust for small spaces and found this. Our box was missing clamps but luckily I had some.. a little HVAC tape and this thing later and my dryer works better than it ever has!!

As long as you have a set of tin snips to trim this down, and have some aluminum tape to seal it off after cutting it to the right length, this is by far the best dryer vent hookup ever. Our old dryer was a miniscule 4 cu. ft. inside, but stuck out much father than our new 7.3 cu. ft. dryer because of the exhaust vent being so bulky. This also allows for smoother airflow, as tested at the exterior vent end.

This thing works, and it's amazing. I bought a washtower and knew it was going into a tight space, but with a periscope, I could make the dryer vent situation work. Well, it was delivered and Best Buy's installation team said it was impossible, asked if I wanted to keep the machine, didn't understand what I wanted to do with a periscope. (Actually had 3 delivery & installation attempts and I finally told them to drop it and leave.) Then a friend came and helped me install this. It worked in a space where my gap between the washtower and wall (where the vent outward was located) was 2.75 inches. Seriously, this periscope is a great solution for small spaces.

I live in an apartment and when they delivered my washer and dryer it would not fit into the closet when using a regular vent so I purchased this and now my washer and dryer fit nicely in my apartment’s closet. I would recommend this!

This low profile telescoping dryer vent connection is good to have if the space is tight behind some of the bigger dryers out there. It was not the easiest to get fitted properly and does not allow for much movement of the dryer after installation.

I researched telescoping vents for my new laundry room. This product was one of the highest rated and economical. It was easy to install and has reduced the space I needed between the wall and my dryer. I would recommend this solution as a replacement for traditional dryer vent piping.

We bought this when we were expecting our new dryer and our dryer is perfectly located to the vent so we wanted this so the vent would go straight from dryer to vent in the wall. However this item is designed so that zero inches (so the vent and dryer are right by each other) the unit is extended all the way out. This is kinda silly. Why can't they be together at the smallest point? That would make sense. Unfortunately it did not fit into the space we had for it so we had to return it. Even if you have the space, you will see it stick out from behind your dryer if your dryer Vent is lined up perfectly.

for some reason the dryer vent was installed on the side wall of the dryer location. This made it possible to hook up the dryer vent, and not haveing to pay to have the machine altered
