Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We had a ceiling deflector made of aluminum that had seen its last and needed replacing. This deflector had only two settings: open and closed. It also only sent air in one direction while open. This was in the kitchen, so rising air sometimes got past the deflector and into the vent, sending the fragrance of whatever was cooking to other rooms in the house. This is not necessarily a good thing.
We decided to try the Deflecto as a replacement, mostly for the fact that it deflects air in three directions. We thought this would do a better job of cooling or heating the kitchen, which is one of the larger rooms in the house, as well as providing fewer openings for rising air to slip past the flow coming out of the vent.
The Deflecto is made of plastic, so I'm a little concerned for it's life cycle, especially after we turn on the heat for the winter. The aluminum one breathed its last after apparently being up there for ten years, but it did wear out. Still, I am very pleased with the Deflecto so far. First of all, it fit the register perfectly, and by perfectly, I mean that I didn't even have to drill any holes. Bing, bang, boom, it was up. Also, it does an even better job at resisting rising air currents than I originally thought it would. This is because the deflector itself is maybe 1/2 an inch lower than its housing, so the rising air tends to get trapped above the cold air coming out, and doesn't get in the vent and bother people trying to read with the smell of sauteed garlic. I'm not sure how well this is going to work when we switch to heat, but for now it's aces.
Bottom line, this product is plenty inexpensive enough that, combined with its good performance, it's turned out to be well worth the risk of the purchase.
