No bends or curves, air flow straight through to outside now with maximum flow. IMO reduced lint buildup up and makes dryer work more efficiently with maximum air flow.
Where we’re coming from (Calif) we have to have the gas dryer raised on a platform per code when it’s located in the garage. We love it because using it is so much easier on our aging backs. We’ll do the same in TV once we have our own home.
