MV-90 Magnetic Dryer Vent Coupling

TLDR: I'll never own another dryer without a MagVent - buy it.This is the second MagVent I've purchased. First was a 180 install, this one is a 90. Both work flawlessly and solve the biggest headache with a dryer--that darn vent hose (and periodically getting in to clean the thing). A MagVent makes the install and any future cleaning effortless. Very few products nowadays exceed your expectations - this one does. Great company, outstanding support, and a tremendous product.Yes, it's more expensive than that generic vent hose you can buy at your local hardware store. But why struggle with that? For a little bit more you'll have something that'll put a smile on your face every time you need to get behind your dryer. Seriously--when's the last time you smiled because of a dryer hose? And you've said to yourself "Boy, am I glad I bought this! This is SO cool..."Just buy it--stop reading reviews at this point, and buy it. You'll be glad you did.

I installed the MV-90 to solve a long-standing issue: a side-exhaust dryer in a tight laundry space. Previously, I used a double-elbow setup with semi-rigid ducting — functional, but frustrating. Every time I had to move the machine? Nightmare, as I’d have to reattach the duct. This saved me a few extra inches over my previous setup — and in a tight-fitting laundry closet, every inch matters for layout flexibility.The magnetic coupling creates a strong seal without needing perfect alignment, and it lets me easily disconnect/reconnect the dryer without wrestling the duct. Not needing extra slack meant I could trim the duct to a more precise fit, so airflow should be better too — hopefully translating into faster drying, less heat build-up, and reduced lint accumulation.One thing that threw me — and a heads-up for others who may need a longer duct run: the included short wall duct isn’t clamped, it’s press-fitted into the mount (at least in the current version at the time of writing this). Technically, you could purchase the MV-FLEX piece along with the MV-90 receiver, but that was more than I wanted to spend. The fact that the wall side isn’t designed for easy duct replacement wasn’t mentioned anywhere, and I absolutely needed to attach a longer hose for my setup. I made it work by trimming a male-end piece of semi-rigid ducting and securing it with a spare clamp. It’s held firm and performs exactly as needed.Is it cheap? No. But if you’re in a tight spot or just tired of duct frustration, it’s a smart upgrade.

For homeowners with dryers that are hard to access like me, this is a must buy. This assured me I have 0 kinks between dryer and rest of exhaust system. Was easy to install and does exactly as advertised. The only concern I have is the foil on the dryer magnet end might not hold up the magnet when first backing it, it's a very heavy duty magnet. I fixed that problem by getting a string to hold the magnet head up before removing the string.

This is a quality product that really does what it says. Many washer/dryer locations are cramped, to say the least. Mine is a closet-type arrangement and there is no room for dryer exhaust hoses to snake around without a major kink point and this was causing venting issues where clothes wouldn’t dry, the dryer was giving error codes, etc.I struggled many times installing new hoses and they would tear on account of the cramped space I was placing them. Eventually, I came across this item and it made all the difference. I would have liked to have mounted the receiving piece on the wall like they show but there wasn’t room, it is that tight. All I had to do was make sure my connections were good against the dryer side and the exhaust pipe side and got the magnetic connectors in the same general place, shoved the dryer back and presto, it worked great. The profile is thinner at the connection than the hoses, and that is key. This way the hoses can meander as they want behind the dryer and the connection doesn’t bind up. It didn’t even need to be mounted to a wall, the connection just snapped together free form.This is a quality product and if you can’t seem to get your dryer vent issue solved, I’d bet this would do it in almost all cases. Short of having a professional make a custom connection, this will get it done.

FANTASTIC SYSTEM! Took me about 2 minutes to install the wall fixture. Perfect design. I used the flexible aluminum hose I already had in place, and was able to condense it much more. I swapped the clamps for “spinners” while I was at it. STRONG MAGNETS. No worries this is going to separate. The dryer is actually quieter now too- absolutely recommend!

Overall this is a great product. There’s one thing I wish they’d change though. The “flexible duct side” of the magnavent needs to come with different lengths of duct.It’s really short and I had to rig something up to get it to reach my dryer.

My dryer is under a counter encased on both sides. Trying to get a vent lineup and not leaking air and lint has been a multi year battle. This vent kit with the magnetic interlock is the perfect solution. After I mounted 90 degree L pipe to the wall and put the hose assembly on the dryer, I was set to go. When I slid the dryer back in place and heard the magnetic click, I knew I finally had a good seal.

Not the fault of this productMore due to placement of outlet previously installed behind the drywall.You MUST give enough space between the dryer and the outlet. I’ve had to pull my dryer out 18” out of its alcove for this to vent out..LOVE that there’s no more ‘yoga’ involved ( and swear words) get your dryer vent hose attached
