Needed to vent dryer to outside of house
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I was going to use the vent that I had on my old dryer but when the new dryer was installed it had holes in the old dryer hose, I read that this Smart Choice- Semi Dryer Vent Kit was required by the manufacturer I chose to purchase this kit and I was glad that I did as it is a superior vent kit and that can handle the heat coming out of the dryer and made of superior quality to handle the hook up of the dryer vent from the rear of the dryer to the outside of the house,

Charged me for the kit, but only used the hose?
||Posted .Kept wondering why it sticks out so much. The dryer kit has elbows for both ends, just by looking at it, common sense would tell you the elbows are to GUIDE the dryer hose through the side that has an indentation so that it would sit back closer to the wall. Best buy installers did not even USE the elbows, but sure CHARGED me for them. The water lines should have gone around the OUTSIDE of the dryer hose, installers put them UNDER the dryer hose, forcing the dryer hose out even further. The installers put this in the MIDDLE of the laundry room which is also the disabled homeowners ONLY ACCESS in & out if the house. He has been TRAPPED IN HIS HOUSE SINCE FEBRUARY 17th! Spoke with SEVERAL customer service (which is a call center in some other country because their accent is so thick I can BARELY understand any of them except one ) who keep telling me they work from home & cannot let me speak to a supervisor . They keep telling me they use a 3rd party delivery/installation service & cannot give me ANY contact info or even the NAME of the business they use. THESE ARE NOT GEEK SQUAD INSTALLERS. Best buy keeps rescheduling another install, but installers DO NOT SHOW UP.

Recommend
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I used parts from this kit and another kit to reroute my dryer vent from the back of the dryer to the right side and appreciate having more space in my laundry room because I can push my dryer (and my washer to match) back closer to the wall.

Q: QuestionI only need 13" of ducting to reach my wall vent. Can the 23" to 8' semi-rigid ducting be cut down to fit?
Asked by debbie.
- A:Answer We had the same request. It would not have been difficult to cut it, but the installer from BestBuy told us that he was not allowed to cut the hose down, and we were stuck with 8' of hose being folded up and twisted behind the dryer. We'll have to call someone to come fix it. (I'm too old now to be climbing over and behind appliances! LOL!)

Q: QuestionWhen the installers installed this vent hose, they ran it up then ran it back down so it basically in a half loop so it would free up room behind the dryer (so it could be pushed closer to wall) as to opposed to running it straight horizonal. Is this ok?
Asked by Indy44.
- A:Answer That is a very inefficient installation. Not only does it force your dryer to work harder to push the moist air out, but it can create a build-up of lint, which can eventually become a fire hazard. Most dryers have an indented space that allows the vent hose to be installed in a straight line without taking more than a few inches behind the dryer. When our washer was installed, the installer ran a similar loop with the drain hose so that it showed over the top of the machine, in spite of the fact that there were slots on the back of the washer for the drain hose. I asked him to move it, and he pushed it down a bit, but after he left we fixed it ourselves.

Q: QuestionWhy is this dryer kit needed?I'm replacing a dryer and I received this kit. Because of this kit my new dryer is about 6 or more inches away from the wall. Is this kit required? Can I use a regular vent hose? Using a regular vent hose I could push my dryer further back to the wall matching the location of the washer.
Asked by Immizgina.
- A:Answer Yes you can use a regular vent hose instead of this one. I did. I purchased one from Home Depot.

Q: QuestionI just want the free installation. I did not need anything else, can I return the items.
Asked by Audrey.
- A:Answer Items not needed from an installation can be returned within 15 days of the installation, not purchase. However, if the kit is unopened, a manager may approve a refund for store credit for any items you still possess.
Answered by Scottie
Q: QuestionCan the installers just use the ducting and clamps and not use the elbows from this kit? I have direct access through the wall to the outside. My old dryer never had elbows. Just a straight 4 inch duct hose. I only have 32 or so inches dept.
Asked by Jibman.
- A:Answer Yes! They hooked mine up without, just hose and clamps
