Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023
I installed this vent (with needed modification, my exhaust pipe didn't fit into the sleeve of the vent. The vent plastic had to be cut in order to fit.) Lint builds up in the bird guard and it constantly needs to be removed. This wouldn't be a problem if the vent were ground level or thereabouts. My vent is mounted 12 feet in the air. I have to get out my ladder every time the vent needs to be cleared. I've removed the bird guard now and just rely on the louvers to open and close when the drier comes on. This keeps birds, rodents and insects out.
Also consider it's plastic. I live in the South, this may have a short life span due to heat and the sun.
Update 7-3-23- The vent is still installed on my dryer exhaust pipe and it's still working. Every month or so I have to take a broom and clean the lint that has accumulated in the louvers so I don't have to use my ladder to clean it out. Unfortunately I haven't found anything that works better . Also this vent has been siliconed on to my house so I'm in no hurry to change it.

Time will tell if the clip-on design of the cage and the lovers is durable and reliable, and not prone to falling off.
