Comparing The Better Vent and Heat Keeper Clothes Dryer Vents | Weekend Handy Woman 

I think combining both these systems is the way to go. Connect the tee joint to dryer and filter and so you can switch between them easily

Venting hot air from the dryer was a good idea, on the surface. I've owned and used variations of the concept. The moist, steaming air in the house gets the moisture on nearly anything in sight, even in my basement, in the winter, the wetness was present. If the inside ventt is your only option, be aware of the damage caused by too much dampness, mildew and mold can and will show up eventually as well. I hope this assisted someone.

i've done something similar in my kennel but i like the options of these new products. it's great to add some moist heat on those chilly mornings and helps cut down the heating bill. no issues with dampness, mold or mildew as i only use it as a supplemental heat source.

I like that safety vent for when the filter clogs

I'd buy them both use the first one as a valve for the second one

Great info thanks!

When using that type of filter media, the white side usually goes on the upstream side and the colored side (in this case blue) goes on the downstream side.

Can you use that on a portable air conditioner

For the heat keeper, the filter should be on the center portion. The valve has a safety check on it that's directional and it doesnt work correctly if you use the filter on the straight thru.

I used a similar thing to this and the place was like a rain forest

Why wouldn't I combine both? You have the bypass and the better filter...

Can you help me? Im leaving in 7th floor apartment but I don't have space to put duct to connect the dryer with outdoor. I was using this indoor solution, but I have a lot of lint into my house and many health problems with my child. thanks in advance for your help

Thanks.

Get a dehumidifier if your going to use this, I m having mold problems. Better Vent isn't that great or get a condenser dryer I think there called, these can create condensation on the house as well, so who knows

My main concern would be how does it affect the performance of the clothes dryer? If there is too much restriction on the air flow the motor is going to work harder, and possible wear out sooner. And clothes may not dry properly.

I am concerned about excess humidity in the garage. I do not want to encounter a problem with mold or rust. Do either of these items address that issue?

I ended up moving everything near the window in the kitchen and venting it outside. I returned the indoor dryer vent. It did stop the lint from the air but i still had a smell from the heated detergent in the air and that caused my allergies to go crazy. I vented it outside and now all is good. I also didnt like the idea of it making the house humid.

Never for gas, right? Does it cost more than the bucket?

I have the heat keeper vent running into the garage area of the house. I have lint and dust everywhere no matter how clean the filters are. Also had to buy and use a small de-humidifier to keep my tools from rusting. What a mess!

Thanks for all the comments

Omg John you're a DJ and a handy man?!

the filter is more durable than the seller says. All you have to do is when it is full, is take it outside and shake it off real good and it is as good as new. I have had the same filter for 6 months and no need to replace it yet, even though I bought the pack with extras to begin with because it was suggested by the sales site, but no need yet!

Before I ever let my dryer vent into the house, I would put a dehumidifier in my home to help get rid of that excess moisture coming from the dryer to help with drying time, and keep moisture levels low.

I unfortunately have a washer dryer in my kitchen with no way to vent to outside (rented apartment). It's already humid and I run AC, so only the lint is the issue. I've used the bucket style and it is tolerable but not great; going to try the Better Vent because it might fit better in my space.

the humidity is a feature, not a drawback, if you're running this in a cold weather climate in lieu of a humidifier.

I’m interested in trying this but seeing all of the comments about moisture and mold is concerning. Would placing a Damprid container in the laundry room help with this problem?

Enjoy the mold.

Is there any product to reduce the carbon monoxide released through an outside vent? Our dryer vent is too close to a bedroom window.

The Heat Keeper you have set up wrong. The mesh goes on the front, NOT the top. That is why the flap has a spring loaded flap in the middle of it. If you have it venting indoors then the flap blocks the outside path, however should the mesh that stops the lint coming in to the house become blocked then the spring loaded flap will open and allow the air a path to escape. Setup as you have it, should the mesh sceen get blocked by too much lint the air will not be able to escape and you just created a huge fire risk as your dryer will not be able to vent it's hot air.

which is better at keeping link trapped?

Never do this on a gas dryer unit.

I use a bucket with water, cap has big hole in center for dryer vent tubing to mount to.....blowing down into bucket of water.......water catches all the nasty.......hot air then vents thru bunch of litter holes around outside of cap Water gets full of crap then dump down toilet

Putting the clothes through a spin dryer removes water and makes them dry faster. No moisture either.

Take a piece of old pizza box. open the window a bit then cut to size. Punch whole in cardboard. Place vent through hole. Remove when not in use. 😂 DONE

Will this filter work with a gas dryer located in our garage?

Don't do this in a Florida home

These vents violate building codes.

Aren’t you a DJ?

omg

Heat Keeper causes a mess in your house.

I'm guessing the gas dryer will do fine...I'll have the Mrs hook that up once I leave

Here's an idea. Don't do this. This wet humid air in today's homes is a recipe for trouble. Get the dryer exhaust out of your house.

He doesn;t show how to connect them. He just holds them and yaks.

If you don't say price it sucks. Do a better job, or 4x what the other cost at the least some kind of comparison.

When your demonstrating a product, the camra should focus on the product more than the person. The product is the star of the show not you.

I have studied the heck out of this. I don’t think this will work in the south where the humidity is high

Better yet bale the dryer and invest in the sun!

Just buy a condenser (ventless) dryer. Why would you want all that moisture pumped into your home? Plus, ventless dryers are much more energy efficient.

I hate to be a Debbie downer, but these should be illegal as the carcinogenics micro fibers from the clothing that is blown into your home ends up in your lungs, I have experience in the commercial Laundromat business and it is a hazard to the people cleaning lint from the filters, they must use a shop vac, only clean after hours of operation, and they must wear an approved respirator, the fibers are carcinogens that are impossible for lungs to break down and it cannot be absorbed into the body, it is one of those unknowns to the general public but I built a commercial laundromat in NYC and learned about the dangers from long time large scale operators, please, if you see one of these things tell the person the dangers. Asbestos being inhaled causes very quick acting cancer because it cannot be dealt with by the lungs and does not break down in the body, this is exactly the same consequence of what this does.

These are crap don’t buy them
