Hon&Guan 4" x 8FT Aluminum Foil Insulated Flexible Duct, Dryer Vent Hose for HVAC Ventilation and Duct Fan Systems, 2 Clamps Include.

We had gotten a new washer and dryer, so we decided to get a new dryer vent, basically start all brand new. This was such a great purchase, it's lightweight, but fits where it needed to on our dryer. The size was perfect, and it stays in place no issues with it coming off.

I needed something that was more durable than just the light metal. The PVC shroud added extra protection for the length I needed. Works great.

Bought this to replace my 6ft ac vent hose and this one is not as sturdy as the regular hoses material but it does work. It feel a a bit flimsy but not cheap. On the second day I accidentally stepped on it walking to my closet causing it to bend a bit but it did not rip. Decent quality doesn’t feel cheap just a bit loose/flexible. Bought the 16ft to move my ac around my room.Update: Did not work properly after a week began to over heat the portable AC stopped using it and will buy new vents with plastic PVC material.

This dryer vent hose extension was exactly what I needed! I was originally venting my dryer into the garage, and it was turning into a sauna every time I did laundry.

Fits and works great. Took a couple days to full expand without stretching it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:worked well.

Just received my hose and the jury is still out. They weigh heavier than the full aluminum hoses you get from a home improvement store. The outer coating though is much thinner than I was expecting. The product picture makes it look thicker, but in reality, it's paper thin. The inner foil is also paper thin. In saying that though, the outer layer was difficult to tear a little piece off the end as a test. It stretched, but never tore off. The hose also folds up as nice as it came. The hose clamps are a nice touch, but I would prefer wingnuts at the end instead of the worm screw. Also, as a warning, be careful when taking the plastic wrap off. My thumb went through it and got sliced on the wire sticking out. You may want to put a piece of tape or something on the wire so it doesn't happen while camping.Now the part I'm not a huge fan of and the 3 star review rating. Mine smell. Some reviewers say they don't, while others say they do. My plan is to use it with a diesel heater and figured the foil would be enough of a barrier to let any harmful smells through it. While I haven't used it with the diesel heater, I stretched them out in a bedroom and just have them airing out. I would say it filled the entire room with that plastic smell. Hopefully they'll air out enough to make the smell go away in a few days.So overall, they seem somewhat durable, they fold back up nice, and the hose clamps are a nice feature. The smell though is a bit off putting but we'll see if it clears up.

Expected more of a thicker plastic coating on the outside for protection from possibly punctures based on what I saw in the pictures before I bought it, but it was pretty much like the standard silver aluminum like hoses that I have previously used. That being said, this hose did the job that I needed just fine, pretty much like my old one did.
