There's a hidden fire hazard in almost every home...it's the dryer vent! Over time, your dryer vent fills with lint that sneaks by your dryer's filter. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers. The LintEater was designed for the homeowner by a leading manufacturer of professional duct-cleaning equipment. It effectively removes dangerous lint build-up in almost every type of dryer vent system, and it's easy to use with your cordless drill. The rotating action of the Auger Brush and flexible rods will traverse the multiple turns that are common in most vent systems. The included adapters allow you to use the air from your dryer, or a shop vacuum/ blower to completely remove the lint from the vent while rotary brushing. Four 36 inch long flexible rods screw together to reach into dryer vents up to 12 feet from one end. Self-feeding 4 inch diameter Auger Brush attaches to the flexible rods and makes multiple turns to thoroughly scour your vent clean. High quality bristles retain shape for repeated use. Blockage Removal Tool removes heavy blockages, such as animal nests, or attaches to several rods and a cordless drill to clear out clogged downspouts from ground level. Large 2 ½ inch diameter Lint Trap Brush will reach 42" when connected to one rod, all the way to the bottom of your lint trap. Exceptional reach also makes it a snap to clean intake vents, underneath and all around your dryer. Use it around any appliance, remove cobwebs or connect more rods for any hard-to-reach area around your home. Safely and easily conforms to tight areas like baseboard heating vents. Vacuum Adapter connects a standard 2 ¼"hose shop vac or blower to completely remove lint while rotary brushing. Dryer Adapter uses the dryer air to remove lint while rotary brushing, if you don't have a shop vac or blower. Operator's Manual and Demo DVD has detailed

Summary: Great product!
Comment: We purchased the cleaning system after being told that our dryer wasn't working due to clogged vents. The repairman said he normally charged $100 for the service but we could do it ourselves. The system saved us quite a bit of money and now we can clean our vents whenever we want. It's super easy to use and does a great job. I've also used the attachments to clean the coils on the refrigerator and under the stove. We're very pleased with our purchase and would highly recommend it!

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I had been having problems with my dryer for the past couple of weeks. It all began with a piece of bad ducting put in but the home builders that acted like the perfect lint trap behind the dryer. Well, eventually the lint buildup was enough to take the ducting apart and I looked behind the dryer only to find a giant clog and lint all over the floor and wall. Well, I cleaned everything out that I could inside and outside and it still took forever to dry.
I read a bunch of "How To's" on what might be wrong so I measured all the resistances on the heating element, thermal cutoffs, etc and they all read to spec. So I figured it might be the ducting still, I have two 90° in my ducting so I figured it was caught in one of those and pretty plugged up to not be working. So rather than root around in my attic and try and find where they buried the ducting in the insulation I decided to buy this thing off of here. It's about $10-15 cheaper on amazon than hardware stores or home improvement stores.
I was kind of skeptical, but figured what the hell. I was pleasantly surprised, the auger brush hooked easily into my cordless drill and fed itself through the ducting. I bought the extensions because my ducting goes 27'. But it cleaned it out very well and is very easy to use. It even bent easily around the 90° I thought was plugged. The pile of lint that came out would help explain why my dryer is now shot. No airflow equals a no-no for dryers...they need it for internal cooling...and gas removal for gas dryers (CO). But at least now I have this so I can clean my ducting out once in a while to keep the new dryer from burning up. It was an old dryer anyways so it was about time to replace it and the washer which is also having issues. But I definitely recommend this to anyone.
One thing you can check to see if it the ducting rather than the dryer too is let your dryer run disconnected from the vent. won't actually hurt anything for one load.

Summary: excellent
Comment: this product worked just like it is advertised. my dryer runs much more efficiently and i have peace of mind knowing there is not extra dryer lint caught in the tube with the potential to catch fire.

Summary: Works Like Magic!
Comment: I could not have asked for a better product. The vent was so clogged with lint and airflow so restricted that the dryer was overheating and shutting down. This thing pulled enough lint from my 25' of venting to half fill a white, kitchen trash bag. I was astounded by the amount of lint this thing pulled out.
Very easy to use, it worked its way through six corners with ease. I took about 40 minutes to finish, including cleaning from both directions. The only small complaint I have is that the shopvac adapter is big, bigger than most household vacuum hoses and the hose of my smaller shopvac. A bit of duct tape quickly remedied the mismatch, though.
I can't remember the last time I was this satisfied with a product that does exactly what it claims to do.

Summary: Works like a champ on the dryer vent, not so well on the gutter
Comment: My wife noticed the drying time taking longer and longer, almost to the point of us kicking the 2-year-old Whirlpool Duet out to the curb. She found this product via a Google search for sources of long drying times. I read the several positive comments and thought it made sense that our vent may be clogged with lint. I had the 15+ foot dryer vent cleaned in less than an hour, including cleaning from the roof (vertical run from the dryer to roof) access and from the garage connection next to the dryer itself. After the cleaning, I swept up a decent pile of lint, just as others had reported. We are both surprised how much better the dryer now works. Drying time was reduced from about 2 hours down to 45 minutes for the toughest-to-dry clothes. I really recommend that you try this before calling the service technician out to tell you that the dryer works fine.
The cleaning system also says it can clean gutter drain spouts. I tried using the flex rods and the special blade attachment provided in the box. It worked pretty well but caught itself on some tight turns and bends. Those rods are not very forgiving if you get them extra twisted, especially on a powerful cordless drill. I didn't have any problems when cleaning the dryer vent with the larger diameter metal tubing. I think this product is best used for the dryer vents as it was designed; make sure you use good common sense and wear your eye protection and keep the drill torque/speeds on the low side.
