Tools and Hardware Reviews of Vent Extender

Customer Review: Not sure how it "clips" on
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this to put over the register that is under a cabinet. It does work to direct the airflow to the edge of the furniture, so that's good. It is a light plastic, but it is certainly thick enough for the type of item. I don't think I'd want it exposed, but then again the smaller ones that we're all used to also get kicked and broken, so I don't think this one is any worse in that department. My major beef is how is it supposed to clip to the register? It comes with nothing that would clip it down. You can get around this as other reviewers have suggested, but when the description says it clips, I want to be able to clip it. I wouldn't recommend it for any area where it will be exposed to feet (human or pet), but under a piece of low furniture it seems to be perfectly fine.

Customer Review: good purchase
Summary: 4 Stars

After looking high and low for a similar product in my area, I was forced to locate this item onlne. I read the negative feedback and felt leery about purchasing it. However, I am very glad I went through with it! I think the reason why it is made with "flimsy" plastic is so that it will not break if it is stepped on. It was used to reroute the air flow from under my bed. For years, I was forced to have my bed in the middle of my bedroom, now that I have the vent extender I have so much more space since the bed is now against a wall! It does exactly what it's advertised to do. My husband installed this product with duct tape to prevent it from being displaced when the heat kicked on and it works like a charm.

Customer Review: Better off making something yourself
Summary: 2 Stars

As a few others have mentioned, this is made with incredibly cheap, thin plastic. It is thinner and more flexible than most plastic packaging material. The picture I saw shows white plastic, but it is actually clear. Given that it is so light/flexible/flimsy, the air from my vent blows it out of position. I'll have to find something to set on top of it like other people have (the problem is that I'm not sure how much clearance I'll have under the furniture). It would definitely be nice to have something a little more rigid. I'm sure you could make a better product yourself and not spend any more money...

Customer Review: It's cheap but it's about what I expected for the money
Summary: 1 Stars

Many reviewers comment on how cheap the plastic is. That is not an issue for me since all it needs to do is redirect airflow, and a sturdier, more brittle plastic will snap if stepped on, this platic won't. My issue with this is it states that it clips on to the vent. It does not, as other reviewers commented. I used a little clear shipping tape, but I didn't feel I should have since it is clearly dishonest advertising. Without some way to attach this to the vent, when the heat or A/C comes on, this vent extender just goes floating away across the floor.

Customer Review: Flimsy but works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars

We bought this because our sofa sits over the vent in our living room. We could not find one of these vent extenders anywhere around our local area, When we found this one on Amazon, it was not a hard choice, The extender works as promised but it is made of plastic and is very light. Because of this we find that the product got kicked around a lot and was frequently knocked off the vent. We solved the problem with a little duct tape. Now there are no issues and the heat flows much better from under our sofa.
