Sealegend 40 Feet Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit, Lint Remover, Upgraded Flexible Quick-Snap Brush×2 with Drill Attachment, Extends Up to 40 Feet for Easy Cleaning, Works with/Without a Power Drill

Great kit, it’s broken down into small rods, comes with gloves two brushes and adapter for your drill.It works great and stores away in a small bag that it comes with. Highly recommend.I suggest looking at your vent hose first and prepare for any problems reattaching it back to the wall.I was able to remove the hose but putting back on was a nightmare because there’s only a little lip sticking out of the wall so I had to buy a 4” little extension and clamping on the hose first to get it back on the wall and wasn’t prepared to do that. So look at the first before disconnecting.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:OMG!! this thing works amazingly Very simple to use and does exactly what it says. I have never cleaned the dryer vent (didn't know it was a thing) until a friend mentioned how dangerous it was to not clean it at least once a year, now I see the hazard. I will be using this regularly for my vent.

Excellent product and value for the money BUT BE SURE TO WRAP A SMALL PIECE OF DUCT TAPE AROUND EACH CONNECTION JOINT. I used 16 sections to clean a long, straight section of dryer vent pipe and one of the joints came loose. If I had not taped all of the joints, about 4 feet of brush and rods would have come loose in the pipe. I would also HIGHLY recommend that you hook up your leaf blower or shop vac/blower so that you can blow the vent lint free as you run the brush down the pipe. Cover the end of the pipe with some towels to get the maximum benefit from brushing and blowing. Turn the rods/brush very slowly either by hand or slowly with a variable speed drill motor. Turn the rods/brush only in one direction. Turning the rods/brush slowly as you pull it back out really helps the rod joints pass over the joints in the duct pipe. I did not use this product on any turns or bends since my piping is pretty convoluted and I didn't want to take a chance on it coming apart or getting stuck in a location where it would be hard to retrieve. (For the twisty parts, I used a small diameter hose, hooked up to my shop vac. Visual inspection indicated that this removed about 90% of the dryer lint.) Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality and functionality of the product. The little tool that is included works well for depressing the ball in the rod joints. The brushes are stiff enough to remove nearly all of the lint, if it is dry and relatively loose. (I had not cleaned the piping in about 5 years and it was wet, packed in firmly and had to be scraped out by hand or replaced with new pipe/hose. I would not expect any household product to remove this kind of buildup. If you have this sort of situation, I suggest that you engage the services of a professional and then use this product every year or two. If you do, you probably won't need a professional again.)

Works like you'd expect. One of the rods had a damaged connector, which isn't surprising for something this inexpensive, but keep that in mind if you think you'll need all 40 feet (I used about 30 feet). I also was dumb and didn't see that it came with the little drill adaptor, so I was initially annoyed that the connector at the end was too large to fit into my drill, so I just hacksawed the connector off and stuck the nylon rod directly into the my drill, which worked just fine.My vent was a mostly a straight shot, 30 feet long with some crazy twists right before it entered the laundry room, but the tool seemed to handle it just fine, and was able to get into the twisty part. I'm not sure how well it would work if you had lots of twists over a long run. As some others have pointed out, if you don't keep pulling & pushing the brush while it's spinning, you risk having the nylon rod get abraded away as it goes around a corner and scrapes on sheet metal.Still, very satisfying remove the absurd amount of compressed lint that had accumulated over 20+ years (!) of use.

We utilized the product twice over a span of two years, and it performed effectively on both occasions.

I used this a few weeks ago to clean the dryer vent duct that had probably never been cleaned at my house. It definitely helped, but a couple things you should keep in mind.First, I would suggest that if you have a leaf blower, try blowing lint and whatever out with that. Before you turn on the leaf blower- Fill any empty space between the end of the leaf blower and your duct with rags to prevent blowback into your face. Be aware of where the exhaust air from your leaf blower is going to blow so you don’t inadvertently stir up dust in your laundry room. Also be mindful of the other end where the lint will be coming out. Open any screens so the lint can freely flow out. I also put a bucket under it to catch the lint. This will hopefully clear up piles of obstruction of sand and loose lint, and may save you some time. This is a messy process no matter how you do it.As far as this product: At my house, the vent goes from the dryer, into the wall and then immediately to the right. It was hard to get started, so I physically had to bend the rod and then be mindful of the direction input the bend as I slid it into the duct as far down and my hands could fit. Once it was in the straight section, it moved through fairly easily until it hit a block. I live near the beach, and our duct had a lot of sand, which made it hard to move. While trying to push through, a few sections of the flexible rod disconnected at a joint. I think I probably pushed too hard or spun my drill too fast. Just make sure the buttons between the sections of flexible duct are fully seated before you push it into the wall. This is a process of adding a section at a time, and then working it into the wall. If you attach too many sections and turn on your drill, it could whip you, and/or twist the flexible rod in a knot.At one point, the button on the drill adapter depressed and the spring wasn’t pushing the button out, it was stuck, which left this entire kit useless. I sprayed WD-40 on it, and tapped it with a rubber mallet. When that didn’t work, I dropped it on the concrete floor, and the button popped back out, and I was able to use it. I think this happened because I was using the drill adapter as the point to connect and disconnect rods as the brush went further into the duct, which essentially wore that spring out on the adapter. One way to help prevent this from happening is to use one dedicated piece of flexible rod to be “permanently” connected to your drill. That way, if the button on the end of your dedicated piece of rod fails, you can grab another piece of flexible rod to use as your “permanent” point of connection and disconnection as you’re adding rods to get the brush further into the duct. I don’t know why the kits don’t come with more than on drill adapter.Overall, this is a good usable tool! Just understand that it does have limitations. The fact that it only came with one adapter that broke, and the fact that another connection broke it disconnected in the duct is why I gave this 3 stars.
