Default Dryer Takes Too Long To Dry

What is the maximum length & number of bends recomended (not to exceed) for electric dryer / vents?

Default Maximum number of dryer vent bends

Depends on the length of the run, etc. Basically, you want to minimize length of run and number of bends to maximize venting. The more bends, the more places for lint to build up and create blockages.
