The Professional Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit -(30-Feet) Innovative Lint Remover Reusable Strong Nylon| Flexible Lint Brush with Drill Attachment for Faster Cleaning

A product that is worth the money and performed very well. I have about 20 feet of dryer duct that includes a 90 degree bend and was partially plugged, triggering my dryers vent cleaning warning. The dryer cleaning brush was able to remove about 1 cu foot of lint from the duct with ease. I used the drill attachment to remove the most stubborn blockage at the 90 degree bend. The 16 inch extension rods are sturdy and flexible enough to bend without breakage. Saved a professional cleaning visit for 1/5th the cost.

If you have a dryer in your house, it's a must that you keep an eye on the condition of your venting. Dust and debris can build up inside and either reduce the effectiveness of your dryer, and/or become a fire Hazzard.The above being said, you should check your venting at least twice a year and clean it out each time.I do not recommend this product for a foil type, corrugated vent, as it could tear holes in the material or damage it in other ways, and it's operation would not be smooth. I also don't recommend corrugated vents, period, as they tend to trap more junk, and tend to be routed poorly or incorrectly in most situations. If you are a new home owner and have a corrugated vent on your dryer, look into replacing it with a ridged vent, soon.If you have a ridged dryer vent, this tool is excellent. You can pretty much detach at the dryer and send it right up and through to the outside in seconds, and it seems to gather everything and shoot it right outside. I didn't find any particulates sitting in the vent after, that required a vacuum or much of anything really.The device is sturdy, came with plenty of extension attachments, an easy to use end piece (do not lose it) to chuck in a drill. The brush was good, and stiff, but appropriate for the task. The brush also didn't seem to hold onto any lint, just pushed it thru. Granted, my vent was not too full because I keep it clear, but the use of dryer sheets can leave a residue that this brush seemed to clean out, exceptionally well.All in all, great product. Should last a long time. I recommend!

I rarely write reviews these days, as people are either paid to do so (and I am not) or they are fake (this is not). Anyway...I am leaving this review because a family member recently had a house fire due to dryer lint. They are ok, thank goodness, but thousands of dollars in repairs and aggravation galore. So, I started to become more aware of the seriousness of this matter. My last house had a dryer that backed to an outside wall so there was not need to do anything bu occasionally disconnect the dryer hose and dust the 8 inch tube to the exterior. Easy.Fast forward to my newly built home of about a year and a half. While building it, I actually took a pic of the dryer vent as I knew I would have to deal with dryer lint-ugh!. The dryer vent pipe is approx 25 feet in total and at about the 10 foot mar it takes about a 115 degree turn. So, about 3 months ago we noticed chunks of dryer lint outside of our house and some coming out of the roof vent. We decided to take our leaf blower and from the inside we stuck it up the dryer lint pipe-we put a towel around it to help with air leaks and kept the blower on for maybe 2 minutes, while we watched a few chunks fly our the roof vent. I knew that the lint was still stuck on the side walls of the vent and this bothered me, but I was just happy to remove a portion of the lint and keep the air flow moving to prevent a fire. Then I started googling and found companies that clean these vents...$150 on up depending on length of vent. No Thanks! I then saw these diy flexible vent cleaning kits. I read tons of reviews and event put the reviews thru the scam review programs. This one came up decent. So, I took a chance and purchased the 30 foot kit, to be sure that it was long enough to get all the way to the roof.We disconnected our dryer hose and moved the dryer out of the way. Things you'll need-drill, pair of pliers (as the connections get super tight as you use it). We opted to put a small piece of duct tape around each fitting, as I have read that if you do something wrong the sections can disconnect and get stuck in the pipe. We slowly sent up 1 section at a time until we felt it hit the roof (it stopped advancing). it took is 19 sections to get to the top. The thing that you have to do is when determining the direction of the drill, it is the direction that tightens the rods. and ONLY use this one direction the ENTIRE time it is in the vent pipe. If you put the drill in the other direction, the sections and brush will disconnect and get stuck. If you do it the right way, you don't even need the tape that we used for extra precaution as the connections tighten so much that you will need the pliers to separate them. Once we got to the top we spun it and started to take out one section of connectors at a time and spun in between each removal until we had them all removed. As you can see, we did not have a lot of lint. That is the lint that was stuck to the pipes as we blew our vent out a few months before. I plan to do this at least once a year. It takes about an hour. I feel great knowing that I can easily clean out that long pipe and prevent a fire. After we finished removing the last section, we did take our outdoor blower and blow out the vent again. There was some more lint that blew out that was loosened from the pipe walls, but had not come out with the tool. So, that was just an extra final push of whatever was remaining. I hope my long review wasn't too boring. My main comment would be, make sure you use drill in the direction that tightens the rods the entire time the rods are in the vent. That is the only way I can see this failing is if you use the drill in the wrong direction.

Great buy. I did not use a drill, as instructed. I just used my hand to turn it. My dryer vent turns to the left and made it a little hard to maneuver, so I chose to do everything by hand. I was scared it would break while in the vent but it never did. Worked very well. Assembled easily.

It was easy to use and does the job.

While this product did remove lint, it also ended up pushing a ball of lint into the hard-piped 90 fitting which ended up blocking the dryer flow. After cleaning the vent, I went outside to check that the vent cover "flapper" was opening. It was not. If I wouldn't have checked that, who knows what could have happened! Here, I came to discover there was a blockage and I had to disassemble the vent, which was no easy task as it is partially behind a finished wall. Came to find that the 90 degree elbow was completely clogged with lint. I would say if you have a fairly straight vent system and/or access to any elbows, then the product is fine. Otherwise, proceed at your own risk.

We own a barely 5 year old home, that we bought used about 3 years ago. We clean out the dryer vent after every load. We decided, to clean it out and were blown away. Probably pulled out a gallon jug worth of lint.. It was crazyThe connections are metal, and the middle of each section is a strong plastic material so it can bend.Worked best when we kept the whole assembly as straight as possible when using it. Make sure you have atleast 2 people, one to run the drill, one to feed into the hole. It came with electrical tape to secure the connections, however with the torque of the drill, you probably dont need this as the connections almost get locked into place. Taking apart needed two pairs if pliers to break the connections. Would definently purchase again. Saved hundreds from having to call someone to come do this job.
