This is good for a ceiling vent but probably not for a floor vent. It's very flimsy but holds to the ceiling vent well. Since it won't ever be touched up there, it works great! But if it was on the floor and could be bumped, I don't think it would hold up well. Overall, we're very pleased. Fine product for the price.

As other reviewers have noted, this is a great deflector, does the job well, strong magnets keep it in place and it has strong, sturdy construction. I don't know if I'd test out the "Unbreakable" guarantee on the box, but it definitely does the job and is ready to go straight out of the box.

If you are trying to decide (like I was) between this one and the $1.50 cheaper Deflect-O 99 Plastic Magnetic Air Deflector, please just go with this one. I couldn't tell what the difference was so I ordered both out of curiosity. Well this one is Made in the USA of much thicker plastic with sturdier construction--the other one is made in China and is quite flimsy and has a hard time staying together when extended beyond 10". Don't waste your $$ on the other one--stick with this one, Made in the USA and will last much longer for only a buck fifty or so more.

I ordered two models of Deflecto vents and both are outstanding. Heavy duty plastic, large strong magnets on the side and they work perfectly. Would recommend to anyone, especially since these are impossible to find locally, just try asking for one in your local home depot/lowes, they're never even heard of the product.

These should be everywhere to buy. It puts the air or heat into the room, not up the wall or off to the side. What a difference it has made with the AC. We are actually turning down the AC as it is too cold. Great product.

I really like this product - before air was blowing on my face during the night when the system would come on. So it solved the problem for me.

Installation was a snap - all I had to do was attach the magnets to each side of the ceiling vent.

Plus it's clear so no one can really see it unless they are looking.

I like it.

These air reflectors are very useful and I wish I had ordered more in the beginning. The only issue I've had is that the clear plastic does make them virtually invisible and thus my family occasionally kicks them out of place--Just the ones positioned under our front shutters that we open & close daily, and the reflector right next to the kitchen table. However, so far they are unbreakable and it is simple to put them back in place!

I purchased this item to redirect the air from blowing directly on my son. So far they work as described and I have no complaints. For the price, they do what I need them to do.

This product did a great job of balancing the temperatures throughout my home by correcting the direction of the air flow. The magnets are super strong and the materials super clear.

If you've read my vent magnet review, you'll see that I have some OCD-like issues when it comes to office climate control. I actually purchased this deflector before I purchased the vent magnets, but unfortunately, my attempts to "divert" the cold air in my office were all in vain. The vents in my office are located in the acoustic drop ceiling, surrounded by a large metal grate. The nice thing about this air deflector is that it is adjustable from about 6 inches, and can expand to nearly 14". Unfortunately, when you're traversing an expanse at the outer limits of deflector's width, the two small magnets do not instill much confidence and the deflector collapses at times under a heavy jet of air being discharged from the vent.

I don't foresee buyers suffering the same problems if they were mounting this vent deflector on a vertical surface, or an application on the floor - as shown in the manufacturer's photo, above, however.

the concept is great the performance is sub-par. these vents will only stay in place if the vent opening is free of paint. these deflectors will not stay in place with small kids around the house. these deflectors need stronger magnets which will dramaticlly improve their performance. save your money and find a better dealer.
