(More customer reviews)The vents in my house are in some inefficient places, and these deflectors really help direct air where it's needed. The vertical vent on the wall in my upstairs hall blows quite a bit of air, but the one in the master bedroom does not. So I put a deflector on the hall vent to direct the air towards the bedroom and it literally made a 5 or 6 degree difference in the bedroom, I have a thermometer in there to measure it.
These deflectors aren't that sturdy or fancy, but they're made in the USA, are fairly unobtrusive, and work well. They're just clear plastic about the thickness of a CD jewel box but I really don't know what else would perform their function and look decent. If they get stepped on I don't think they'll hold up well, but they're only a few dollars each. Really, in "bang for the buck" these rate very high.
Keep in mind that when they come out of the box they are narrow and don't look like they can get wider, but they will slide open to fit standard heat vents.
The "filter" that ships with the deflector doesn't seem like much, it's just a piece of plastic with a mesh pattern in it, and it's not apparent how to attach it to the deflector. I didn't worry about it. I want maximum airflow out of each vent.
