Super simple install, immediately noticed the difference in pressure in the room, will be installing another one really soon. The bedroom door would slam shut when the door was just propped open slightly every time the A/C came on… not anymore, and the room now feels cooler.

Very easy to install and saw an immediate difference in the airflow into the room where I installed it. The baffle portion is good at reducing light and sound.

Best HVAC hack on the market! I came across this on the internet and thought I’d try my own jumper duct. The price was pretty good for what’s included and figured the sound baffle would be much better than any homemade option. Pretty easy to install and quite effective. Five stars!
