Amazing Inventions - EZ Dryer Vent Installation

Inventor Ken Beechie discusses his magnetic dryer vent. Watch as 82 year old Ken easily installs this time saving and potentially life saving device that helps prevent dryer fires.

[@blade_monstababy9945]

Great concept!

[@fb510m]

looks great to me! I'd like to see the product on your purchase web site and find any additional information. thank you!

[@gardengirl38]

I love this!

[@davebyrne8047]

It looks like you could run the vent out the side of the dryer. Most dryers allow this, as in this dryer there is a 5" round punch out on the side of the dryer on the left side, as can be seen in the video. So there should be one also on the other side. This also makes the dryer much more efficient as well as can be closer to the wall.

[@ninjamaster3453]

Most modern dryers need to be disassembled to use their side vents.

[@jsjansing2188]

Have you seen Jyst how long it takes to side vent? You have to take the whole dryer apart!

[@stonekold]

@@jsjansing2188 Not to mention price.

[@Samt1958]

Where can you buy it?

[@chungul]

What would normally be in the wall is in the floor. How do I get it to work that way?

[@catfish24]

Me likey great job Thanks for posting.

[@rjoy2096]

Where can I get this?

[@JillofAllTrades2]

Nice! 👍🏻

[@offthehoofbbq9653]

sweet!

[@jameshines9330]

This guy is 82 years old? He should be the poster man for living right😁

[@offplanetevent]

It works for a vent that is exposed like the one in the video or if it was in the floor, but what about when the vent is in the wall ? Get rid of your plastic flex hose.

[@InquiryTeaching]

Looks like there is a forth tab inside the box that he does not bend down

[@cclark3905]

Ironically I need to vent... None of this should be this hard whether it be a new home or home that's 40 years old it boggles my mind that the home builder and the architect have evidently never had to install a clothes dryer... I would bash on the manufacturers but I understand from a gravitational standpoint why you want the vent hole on the dryer on the bottom I also understand that they make attachments like this.. my biggest complaint is the amount of room that most home builders much less apartments give you to install any of these things in what world do these people live in?

Me crying in my 30" deep laundry closet with no recessed vent

[@jeffw8057]

At first I thought this was a good idea....then... I realized that most dryers move while operating as a result of vibrations. Often this movement will appear to make the dryer 'walk' across the room. With this type of dryer hose connection, it seems you could easily disconnect the vent, and unknowingly vent very flammable lint into the room?

[@jeffw8057]

@@cabguy1006 Really? I've personally owned around 10+ dryers in my life...and they have all moved. Sometimes it's a result of an unbalanced load, sometimes just the act of loading and unloading will shift the fairly lightweight drying machines from their initial spots....especially on smooth surfaced floors. I have a couple rental homes (beach) where towels are often washed/dried, and those machines move quite a bit, and often the machine has to be positioned multiple times each month. No, the 'walking' is not on a per load basis, and instead is the accumulation of subtle movements over weeks. But they do move.

[@paulrobilotti9294]

@@cabguy1006 , agree never had a dryer the moved while working

[@j0539h]

Its not because you have some other issues with your dryer , that this is a bad idea. Fix your dryer 'walking' issue FIRST.

[@ctb2814]

Adding the felt pads would make the dryer mover more easily when in use.

[@gman77gas]

Takes up a lot of space next to the wall

[@daveenyart]

Don't use that style of flex vent hose....a huge fire hazard.

[@jamiesildar1544]

Takes too much space at that back of the dryer for a narrow laundry room

[@l337pwnage]

+Jamie if you don't have a dryer box, you need this amount of space to route the vent hose regardless.

[@taylor8109]

If you look at the side of your dryer you will actually find punch outs that are intended to allow you to vent through the side of the dryer. This will save about 4 inches behind the dryer. Just did mine and made a huge difference.

[@tripjet999]

...brought to you by "BAD IDEA" jeans.

[@whiteknightcat]

I don't think I've EVER seen a more difficult and complicated way to run a dryer vent hose - a true Rube Goldberg contraption. The Ziggurat system is FAR simpler and requires no tools.

[@peteverrelli5797]

That looked about as easy as you can get

[@LukeDegerstrom]

I agree it is not difficult or complicated in any way

[@sbryan40]

Dryer is an electric dryer where there is not gas line in the way. Soooo...how does it work with a gas dryer?

[@MoparGuy1625]

Use a flexible gas line….

[@livingaboard]

I think this is product looking to solve a problem that isn't a problem.

[@HighSierraBob]

This product simplifies installation. Looks like a great idea to me!

[@frankus9999]

I think this does solve a problem, particularly in tight spaces. On the other hand, if you don't think keeping your dryer vent clean, or you have a lot of space to get behind the dryer, then this product might not be for you. I think it's great, imo.

[@freedomisfromtruth]

Awesome product. If theres only room for washer and dryer in a bathroom, how do you attach the hose to the dryer then crawl out over the dryer or fly out? Or have an extra long dryer vent hose to try to contain as you push the dryer in place.

[@mikeberumen344]

I think this is a great answer for a real problem. The current common system is a huge problem looking for better solutions, e.g., what if the external vent is parallel to the dryer vent?

[@rogerwillcox2652]

Lighten up Francis es, it is another option to hook up a dysfunctional way designers don't listen to there consumers and service techs , if somebody invents a better way , oh , lets here about heat pump dryers and I guess you really have to clean the lint traps every time you do a round of drying, but there is no exhaust to deal with and it is all electric , we will see!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Llupe9021]

Not so easy if it requires all that stuff m

[@j0539h]

2 pieces?? All that stuff??

[@akz0027]

What is the point? Just run the the stinking flex venting.

[@l337pwnage]

makes it easier to clean. that's about it.

[@rondenhollander4313]

Will need to be cleaned every few days, bad design and the use of soft foil venting as shown voids warranty. Not a good idea at all. Read supplied manufacturer instructions, or look online , and only install according to instructions. Dryers can last 30 years if installed proper, if installed as shown premature failure will happen .

[@l337pwnage]

Actually, you can see by the way the duct supports it's own weight that it is the semi-rigid duct, so you are lying.

[@Hoktoooey]

Nice guy, nice video.. but COMPLETELY useless device..

[@speedtuff]

No, i have been searching for a product just like this... my exhaust exits the dryer straight down, and there is no way to tighten the clamp on the vent pipe and have it against the wall. This is the only product that will work for my application. I would gladly give 100 dollars to get this.
