These Deflecto vent covers are thin and are not strong enough to hold up on ceiling vents. It may work for floor vents.

Wasted hard earned money. This item is too heavy and magnetic force too weak to stick to vents it's inteded for. Tried it on several types of vents, even purchased new vents to accomodate it. It falls off quickly or within a minute and that's w/o any air pressure!

Great idea. Easy to size & fit, but they're just barely magnetic. By itself it would not work with a ceiling-mounted vent -- even with vent fully closed the air flow blew the magnetic cover off.

Well, got these because it seemed like a good prospect. However.... These are some of the weakest magnets ever. Won't hold on a wall, let alone on a ceiling, especially when your HVAC system comes on. Not only do they not work as advertised, but the seller sells these at a almost DOUBLE the price you can get this exact same item at Home Depot, by the same manufacturer.

After realizing these wouldn't stick on my painted metal registers, I went out and bought unpainted ones, thinking it would work better.... Nope, wasted even more time and money. This product, and the markup the seller adds to the price, is a joke. Don't waste your money.

Do not buy this product the magnetic is not strong enough to hold on ceiling vents.
I need to purchase additional magnetics to hold up the Magnetic vent cover. haha

My registers are on the wall not on the floor. They continually fell off. Did not stick very well at all. I was disappointed.

I bought these to cover up several ceiling vents (the packaging claims they can handle ceiling, floor, and wall vents). The covers are barely magnetized. I tested them against refrigerator magnets, and the fridge magnets won by far. These covers do not stick to wall or ceiling vents. I don't think they do much better on floor vents than a heavy piece of paper would. Save your money.

I have a vent directly over my bed. Tried this product to cover it up. Even with the vent switched over to the closed position, if the heat or air was blowing, the magnet in this product is not strong enough to stay stuck to the vent. I even tried to put glue dots around the edge to help it stay put. This worked to keep it in place for about a week. I have standard vent covers in my home.

It does not work. The magnet vent covers only stick to other magnet covers in the packet.
I should have paid attention to other reviews. Instead of saving energy and money (as advertised),
I've wasted even more money on this product.

Magnetic properties are on the very light side. They didn't stick to my vents so I threw them away. Total waste of money.
