Definitely Worth the Money
I live in an older home and my vents are on the walls near the ceiling. I always wondered how much heat I was wasting by having it stay in the top of the room all the time. I ordered a pair of these vents and my daughter put them up for me when they arrived. It took her less than a minute. The next day I noticed that the rooms were warmer - I could feel the heat coming from the furnace much better. So I went and turned the thermostat down a couple degrees! That means these things will actually pay for themselves.
Other reviews have complained that they are flimsy or the magnets aren't good enough. For me, that is not true. They are air deflectors, people! I would call them lightweight, not flimsy. And if you are trying to make them fit something other than a metal register of the appropriate size, then you are a goofball. Read the description to be aware of what you are getting. These deflectors are clear so they are unobtrusive on the wall. Notice my different color walls in the photos. They deflect the air down into the room, so what's not to like?
Nice product, reasonable price, good vendor, fast shipping - I say 5 stars!
Remember... this is a small business trying to make a living. That's the kind of business we all want to support. I'm always amused when I read a cooking recipe review and they say... "I changed 3 ingredients and cooked it at a different temperature and it didn't work. They should have done better!" What the??? So don't be sticking these air deflectors on a non-metal surface or pulling them apart because your register is bigger than they will go. Those things mean you need a different product! The vendor can't come back and say such a thing but I can! Use them how they are meant to be used and you will be happy. Otherwise, get in line for a Darwin Award because you are definitely wading in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Disclaimer - I mean no offense to anyone in particular. I just chose this moment to get on the soapbox and make a point about how people often make reviews. All is well so happy air-deflecting! :-)
OH, OH, OH - I forgot to say I have no connection to this vendor! I don't know them and they don't know me. I was not paid or endorsed for this review. They are going to be surprised when they see it. I just like writing honest reviews. (you should check me out on Trip Advisor!) Isn't that a kick? Hahaha!
