Dryer vent booster fan?

I had one installed when I built my home.

Fantech. Zero issues.

Thanks.

Anyone else?

I built a new house in 2004, the washer and dryer was not on an outside wall. I used 4” PVC pipe to make my dryer vent. It was smooth bore, so no way to catch any lint. Only cleaning, the vent at the end of the run. The inspector for the city said, this was by far the best job done to keep from having a problem.

They make long vent dryers, they are not that expensive less than $200 more than a standard dryer. How long do you have? They are basically dryers with extra strong booster fans built in. Id highly recommend one of them and I have used one of them before, highly recommend. The benefit of having a dryer made for it is that there’s no blockage part of the way through your vent.

The disadvantage is that two different blowers maybe better.

You need to figure out where you would put it.

What’s the design of your vent?

Long vent dryer sample

I have a dryer that keeps over heating because if the long dryer vent run. I have a lot of vent line in the attic that I could put this in.

Would this help the dryer overheating?

I had one in the attic and it worked until lint built up in vent. I also didn’t have a straight run up, had several curves in the pipe before going up to attic roof.

I got tired of trying to clean the vent out. I got a ventless heat pump dryer about a year ago, after another poster recommended. So far it has worked well. I hope it last, it was more expensive than a regular dryer.
