how well does the vent connection work on vertical vents?

I have not used it on vents. I surface mounted mine. The surface mount option has worked great.

My vehicle has horizontal vents, so I haven't been faced with that issue. I thought that when ordering you specify type of car, etc. If so, they should know that they are vertical.

I am truly sorry. But i only have horizontal vents also. I also use a window mount.

It should work on any vertical compressor as long as it has a drain at the bottom, and the existing drain valve can be removed. You will have to supply the correct plumbing to mount the automatic valve. Usually will just take a street elbow and short length of pipe.

I have used this device on a roof with a ridge vent. Make sure the hook clears the vent and rests on solid material.

Unfortunately there's nothing to hold the vent in place. I used two small pieces of Velcro which worked perfectly.

Very hard to say, but presumably yes - it's certainly better than NOT having it. More importantly though isn't temperature, it's the fact that the vent helps with wind - it's not a sail in the wind with the vent, since air can travel through it. That fact has been very helpful with my setup.

It seems to work as well as any comparable vent cover. The louvers hang vertically when no air is being forced out from the dryer, which prevents back flow.

They work great if your vents are on the floor. I had trouble with them sticking to my ceiling vents.

It works find pointing vertically downward. That is exactly how mine is positioned. And, it is pretty easy to install.

The package came with an adapter for the vacuum attachment. The vacuum fit the adapter and worked well. I had no problems cleaning out both a short horizontal vent at my daughter's house and the tall vertical vent behind my dryer. Didn't use the vacuum attachment in the vertical vent due to space constraints, just stuck the vacuum hose in the catch basin at the bottom of the vent.

Theres a little gravity flap inside. I'm not really sure why it's there. It would still work if the unit were horizontal and on it's back (indoor vent screen facing up).

Hi, you have to make sure the 2 hooks are until the end of the vent and as separated as possible. There is going to be some slipping but will be less.

I think this is designed for vertical placement only so that gravity will close the flaps when fan is not in use. I have mine at the end of ducting in the attic space below a roof vent. There are novel backdraft dampers that work in any direction (batticdoor.com). Properly installed they make a tremendous difference in heat loss.

There are metal tabs that screw into the metal vertical lip of the vent. These tabs extend out and flush to the roof surface where the Maxxair will attach via nut/bolt combos.

Yes,it can be vented horizontal or vertical,with the included hardware. Very good unit for those of us on a budget. Arrived well packed and undamaged!

I used this for the front blower under the dash. I am not sure if this will work for the rear vents.

i just got this unit - the cord goes down through the vent and sticks straight up. The on/off switch is just below the louvers on the vent and is reached fairly easily. Construction of the unit is very good.

I have it installed vertically and it works fine. I would say I am only about 60% satisfied with this product. I find checking the sensor photo it shoots too tiresome to mess with. I do like not having to stick my eye in a small peephole though. Also, very easy to install.
