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

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!

This is a wonderful vent cleaner. My NEW dryer would not run at all and kept telling me to check the ventilation. OMG it wasn’t kidding. Ten years of fiber and crud came boiling out as we used the ventilation cleaning kit. The dryer is functioning perfectly now. Thank you for a great product and easy directions. The nylon rods were totally necessary to make the turns in our venting system.

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.

Our Clothes Dryer vent from the machine to the outside is roughly 15 feet and has NEVER been inspected or cleaned since the day we moved in over 30 years ago. So once we figured out there was absolutely no air flow coming out the vent hood we knew we had some sort of serious blockage in the passage. This tool is quite simple and extremely effective and had more than enough length to send the spinning brush all the way through the exhaust vent. And every claim that this tool presents seems to be all true. We think we came across two blockages and with the spinning motion of the tool and moving it back and forth we were able to break up the lint enough to pull it out. After 30 minutes we pulled out over 2 vacuum bags worth of lint and now we're able to get a full strength of flowing hot air when we run the clothes dryer. WORD TO THE WISE: When using this tool ALWAYS run your drill CLOCKWISE. Each segment of the drill is screwed into the next segment of the drill and if you run your drill counter-clockwise you'll be unscrewing the segments and you'll possibly loose parts of this tool inside your vent - and if your vent is as long as ours then it'll be very difficult to retrieve those small thin parts with the brush now being your blockage. I accidentally did that and luckily for me only the line segment closest to my drill unscrewed and came apart even though I had electrical tape to secure it. I was able to re-screw the line segment and continue working the drill in a clockwise direction.

This is a longer review so I will put the most pertinent data at the top. There are a few things you need to know. 1) you will need to tape the pieces together when adding length to the brush. 2) don't reverse the drill, EVER while the brush is in the vent..... EVER. 3) Be prepared for anything and to be disgusted. On to my review! I got a new washer and dryer because drying times were a continuing issue for my family. Prior to connecting the new dryer I decided it was time to clean out the vent as I don't remember the last time I did it at all and I never cleaned the entire vent, only the areas we could reach. I found this product and read the reviews and thought, for $30 what could it hurt. Last year we had new siding put on our house and prior to that I had to replace the dryer vent cap on the outside of the house because Birds were messing with it and pulled the louvers off (you can see where this is going and it isn't pretty). A few days after receiving the vent brush and 30' extensions it was time to put it to work. As other reviewers said make sure you tape them together and tape them going in the right directions. I diligently worked the brush and poles piece by piece adding another 1 to two as I needed to. What came out of this vent was disgusting to say the least. I was expecting to find a bunch of lint and some miscellaneous trash and boy did i. What I didn't expect was to find all the cypress mulch along with it! Apparently the birds had been nesting and using my mulch to do it. Despite me getting to it to cap it off quickly there was a bunch of mulch in there. I am surprised anything dried at all in that old dryer. Curious, I weighed all the lint and mulch I pulled out. It was almost 10 pounds! Suffice it to say I am pleased and disgusted with the job this product did. My clothes are all drying well now and I feel better overall about not burning this house down via the dryer vent! If you are considering this product just go for it. Use it properly (tape and don't reverse) and it will work wonders for you.

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.

So. This product did meet my needs and expectations. One of things that was a challenge for me (which is not the product’s fault) was that my dryer vent was SUPER clogged. I guess that’s what you sign up for when you move into a rental... It took me about an hour and a half to feel like I got out all of the lint (which was packed completely solid in some areas). I also attached it to a drill- which is where it lost a star for easy to use. When the brush head was up against one of those solid lint blocks, the rod would get really twisted and flip around a bunch once I stopped using the drill - like it was trying to release the coiled tension that I put into it and it was flipping around, kind of like when you pull a tape measure out as far as it will go and then release it, and it coils back in really quickly. It became kind of a fiasco and different points, but again- that’s because my dryer vent probably hasn’t been cleaned in at least 10 years (based on a crumpled receipt that I found in the debris that was definitely not mine........ 🤢). The other thing that was a challenge was unscrewing the rods from one another. After I was done cleaning the vent, the rods were screwed together really, really tightly. It took some additionally tools (and a lot of swear words) to get the leverage needed to undo them. My advice: have someone help you when you do this, especially if you plan to use the drill attachment. I did this all on my own, and I think it would have been a lot easier with some help. Also, wear a mask because it does kick up a lot of lint. The plus side- my clothes dry in half the time, and I’m not as worried about my house catching on fire.

Only used it once, (as soon as I got it!) and it worked perfectly. I have a pretty long vent with a few 90° bends and it didn't get caught up or falter once. If it continues to perform like this, it's a pretty decent tool! And as long as you keep your drill set on forward( clockwise) it will definitely NOT come undone, and you will need pliars to loosen the sections!

We live in a rental and landlord refuses to clean the vent ducts. We finally had enough as the dryer wasn't venting outside anymore. This tool works perfectly! No issues with attaching to a drill, and works wonderfully for spinning up the excess lint, hair, etc that builds up in the vents. We took about half a garbage bag full of plugged lint, and took only about 45 mins to do. This was at least 10 years of build up. Great for a basic do-it-yourself cleaning job and it worked great afterwards. The only thing you have to watch for is the threads do tighten from the spinning so it was a little tough to loosen afterwards to take apart but that's about it.

Buen producto

Pros: extra lengthening attachments extends the reach; extensions are relatively flexible; the brush when twirled (not attached to a power drill, so rotated it by hand) did loosen the lint and pulled clumps out (but best was loosening lint sufficiently that the dryer when turned on”blasted out” the lint. So did the job. Cons: wish that it had a long flexible “bottle brush” piece that could clean out the exhaust vent found inside the dryer when the lint filter was removed (on me there were other products that had this); flexibility was less than expected re any bends (further it was moved into the vent pipe, cannot do a bend when it reaches one) on one hand and too floppy flexible when fully extended for one person to use - 2 needed, one to hold it up as first person threaded it into the pipe. Definitely did make a difference but a power drill attacked to the extensions would have made the work easier.

El producto funcionó perfectamente para limpiar un ducto de secadora de poco más de 3 metros. Lo utilicé manualmente haciéndolo girar con un desarmador y sacó muchísima pelusa acumulada, aunque sí requirió bastante esfuerzo. Seguramente utilizando un taladro eléctrico debe ser una maravilla.

La calidad no es excelente, con el calentamiento de uso con destornillador eléctrico, la parte plástica de los extesores, se calentó al punto de fundirse, terminando por ser inservible. Espero resistan un poco más con uso pausados.
