It's about time to clean out my dryer vent hose I suppose. I keep hearing how the flexible vinyl/foil hose is prone to lint trappage and potential fire hazards, and that ridged vent pipe is better. O

With a dryer that's not in a fixed position, with access to the back, it's pretty tough to use only a rigid pipe. Use as short a piece of flexible hose as you can, and use a good quality hose. -- Dav

Probably the best idea would be to replace the hose with a 100% metal flexible one. I think they don't even sell the vinyl/metal ones any more. A rigid pipe (is that what you mean by "ridged"?) is a
