Purchased this because our dryer repairman indicated that we should clean out the vent line or our warranty may be voided. He also suggested that cleaning the vent would prevent possible lint fires. So, looked around and came across this model. I read the reviews and figured I would give this a shot based upon the product description and reviews.
Our dryer vent comes vertically off the back bottom of the dryer. It then makes a bend at the ceiling and yet another bend to get outside. Our exhaust duct is also smooth metal - not a foil or plastic (which should be replaced with rigid smooth metal).
Followed the directions to remove the louver to the exterior vent and disconnected the dryer from the vent inside. Hooked up my shop vac to the outside (with the included vent adapter that came with this vent cleaning kit). Took my cordless screw gun according to the instructions for the cleaning kit and cleaned the vent from the inside. Then swapped the vac to the inside and cleaned from the outside. My total length of pipe is about 15 feet so I couldn't do it in one direction.
Once finished, hooked my dryer back up, packed up my drill and the cleaning kit and went onto another chore. It took me more time to write this review than it took to do the task from start to finish. Ok - I might be exaggerating, but literally took about 20 minutes from start to finish including cleaning up.
This is a great product - just take your time (you really do not need much) and follow the instructions. I highly recommend this to anyone. On a scale of 'do-it-yourself' from 1 to 10 (10 being an extreme do-it-yourselfer to 1 being the 'I do not know which end of the hammer to hold' type of person, I would say that you need to be a 3 or higher in order to successfully use this product.
This product worked great. The instructions were good. This product was clearly well thought out. There was little mess. I got about 4 gallons of lint out of our 20 foot long (3.2 meter) exhaust vent. I think no one had ever cleaned it before in 15+ years. We attached our household stand-up vacuum to it. Our vacuum needed to be emptied frequently. This was such a pleasant experience! I am SO glad I did not disconnect the pipes under the house and do this by hand. We were even considering buying a new dryer. We just dried our first load since cleaning. It took 50 minutes. Previously, it took 100-150 minutes.
I have a very long dryer vent run. Our clothes were taking several cycles to get dry. I hand made a clean out tool using a hand anger and dryer vent brush. It helped, but it quickly got worse. I saw this and ordered it and a set of extensions. Literally within 15 minutes the job was done. The first few time I cleaned the vent from the outside, but had the dryer run on cool. Gobs of old and cold lint dries came out. Now even the heaviest loads are finished in one cycle. It is so worth the money. Our utility has already went down significantly because of the increased efficiency of the dryer.
Great product. easy to use with cordless drill - With the included extensions this has a 12ft reach... My dryer vent is about 20ft long so was able to go in from both ends to remove the link. I was amazed at just how much came out and then at how much more quickly my dryer dries clothes now...
This is a great product, is easy to use, appears robust and came at a good price.
Thanks!
just used the large 4" brush with several of the rods on a 12V drill. worked great for me . saw a lot of lint blow out .

I didn't think the vents were as dirty as they were, I had to dump my shop vac twice it pulled so much stuff out. The vacuum attachments were pretty cool, a little awkward but made made the whole thing pretty easy and clean.
We had bought a new dryer and it wasn't drying like I thought it would. I bought this to clean the dryer vent which is just over 12 foot long. It is in the ceiling between the first and second floor of our home. We did have to clean it from both directions, but it did a great job and didn't make a hugh mess. My clothes are drying so quickly now. I highly recommend this product and we will use it several times a year now.
We baught this as well as a set of extensions to be able to clean our dryer vent on our own. You get everything you need in the box however buying a set or two of the extensions might be advisable specially if your vent location outside is close to a second story. Better safe then sorry is my motto. They worked just as they were supposed to and our vent is now clean again.
Works great. Made a huge difference in drying time after vent was cleaned. I couldn't believe how much lint was removed. I thought I was done after just using the brush but connected the drill and scrubber attachment anyway. That cleared out a good amount of lint as well. Easy to use and provides excellent results.
Really took a ton of lint out of the dryer vent. My cloths are definitely drying faster than before I used the machine. I woud recommend it to anyone with a dryer that has a lonf pipe run just for the safety alone, but it makes my dryer work much better!
