Product Review

When It Comes To Dryers, Where Is The Perfect Installation With Little To No Duct Length The Reality Which Contractors And Homeowners Have To Work With Is Far From Perfect. A Short Dryer Duct Length Is Not Always Possible. This Is Where Fantech Dryer Boosters Can Help. Under Prime Conditions, Residential And Commercial Clothes Dryers Should Dry Clothing In A Timely Fashion. Problems Occur When Dryers Are Connected To Long Runs Of Duct Work. This Is The Reason Why Most Residential Dryers Are Located Against Outside Walls. The Exhausted Air Is Vented Directly To The Outside Without Complicated Ducting To Hinder The Performance Of The Dryer. Many Dryer Installations Do Not Allow Direct Venting And The Typical Residential Dryer Cannot Operate Efficiently Against The Resistance Created By The Necessary Duct Work. The Results Are Longer Drying Times, Higher Energy Usage And Costs, And Excessive Wear And Tear On The Dryer. The DBF 110 Dryer Booster Inline Fan Addresses Every Obstacle. A Silent Partner For Your Dryer. The Fan Compensates For System Duct Losses and Allows the Dryer to Exhaust Warm Moist Air as the Manufacturer Intended. The Fans Can Handle up to 60 Feet of Duct and Six Elbows. The Backward Blades Allow Lint to Pass Through the Fan. The Patented Control Automatically Operates the Booster Fan Whenever the Dryer is Running Feature and Specification ABS-PC Blend Thermo Plastic Housing Permanently Lubricated Sealed Ball Bearings Self Cleaning Backward Curved Impeller Automatic Reset Thermal Overload Protection Five Year Factory Warranty

5.0 out of 5 stars Boost your clothes dryer!, February 11, 2008

If your clothes dryer doesn't seem to dry properly, check the ventilation run. Most dryers are meant to be vented along a fairly short run, and if they aren't your performance will go down the tubes. Our dryer took 2 cycles to dry a medium-sized load of laundry. While trying to figure out why, we realized that not only was our duct run too long (be several feet) but we also had three turns. This is enough to kill performance (doesn't dry in one cycle, excessive lint build-up). We ordered and installed the Fantech Booster fan and the secondary lint trap and it's like having a new dryer! I would strongly suggest purchasing the secondary lint trap at the same time as the booster fan, to save on lint going through the fan itself. A nice feature of the fan is the auto-sensing on/off. It starts when the dryer starts and runs in 10-minute cycles (then continuing to run if the dryer is still running). The cycling keeps it from running after the dryer finishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dust Reducing, Life-changing product!, January 6, 2008

This product has changed our life! It has reduced the dust produced by our dryer duct greatly. Our dryer duct empties out on the top of our house, about 20' above the dryer. It was constantly clogged. We purchased the fan booster and had it professionally installed. It turns on and off automatically when the dryer is turned on and off. No more dust, dryer works faster, it is a great purchase.

The product works as advertised. After installation it cut my drying time from 2-3 hours to around 40 minutes. Unfortunately, when we have a windy day(which is often in Oklahoma) the fan turns on because it thinks the dryer is running. I emailed the manufacturer but haven't received a response. Kinda wish I had bought one which is operated with a wall switch.
