 vent dryer August 30, 2010
steven m. mason (FAIRFIELD, OHIO, US)
as soon as I installed the vent dryer my wife felt an immediate difference, the clothes took less time to dry and there was a more cooling affect in the laundry room. we are very happy we installed this unit, but wish we did it sooner!
Excellent external dryer vent August 29, 2010
Marilyn L. Beach (Minnesota)
The HEARTLAND 21000 Dryer Vent replaces my old light, aluminum flap sort of encased by an aluminum triangle/box where the flap was just hanging there and opening and closing in the breeze.
While installing the new vent, I was amazed how much cold air was rushing out of the 4-inch hole, and this new vent takes care of that, and no way rodents or bugs can crawl in, too, and the wind won't open it. There's no cold air rushing out of there now.
When the dryer is on, a small inverted plastic cup is blown upwards, and the hot air is directed downward and out the baffles. When the dryer is off, the cup settles down and seals the opening well enough that there's no more cold air escaping, and I bet in the winter, no hot air escapes either, except when the dryer is running, of course.
This thing promises to pay for itself in short order. The biggest problem is making sure it's level, and on slanting clapboard, I glued a couple of popsicle sticks for shims rather than cut away the clapboard. Then I screwed it down tight and caulked the edges and all is just fine. It looks cooler, too. I'll probably paint it when I get around to it, but I think that's optional.
 Good design, but question it's longevity August 12, 2010

This product has a great design in that it is easy to clean by removing the lid from the top if needed. If it was constructed of a little thicker, stronger material I would give it a four star rating. If it also included a through-the-wall length of pipe, I would give it a five star rating. I installed it a month ago. When the weather gets cold will it keep the heat in the house??? I will let you know. Most other dryer vent hoods do not give you a positive seal or the ease of cleaning builtup lint that the Heartland 21000 does.
heartland 21000 dryer vent closure August 7, 2010

This is the second dryer vent closure that I have installed. The first one lasted about ten years and worked very well. It was replaced due cracking of plastic material (I did not paint it as recommended against u/v light break down). Easy to install and works very well keeping the cold air out in the winter.
 Effective!! July 8, 2010
Five Angels (Boston, MA)
This product is as claimed, effective in stopping the reverse flow of air back into the dryer duct. By forcing the air to be capped on top of the exit tube, it relies on a greater gravity to rest and cap the tube, rather than the standard hinged flap, which can clog in an semi-open position.
I haven't had this in operation long enough to withness the extent of lint that is trapped in this product, but it easily accessable for cleaning.
The one dentriment is that the plastic must be painted to prevent staining and breakdown of the plastic body, by excessing sunlight. Kind of pain. Hopefully future versions will be issued in sufficient white coloring so as to prevent sun exposure damage.
