Product review (5 stars): Love, Love, Love!
This is a terrific product. Using this tool, we got tons and tons of lint out of the duct system from our dryer to the outside vent. If we had waited much longer to clean this duct we would have had a fire hazard. Lucky for us, the dryer quit getting the clothes dry, so it was our early warning system! I was also fortunate to have read all the previous reviews of this product so I knew it would work, even if we didn't use it exactly like the instructions said to. We did not use a vacuum, but used the brush and extenders like a probe which pushed the lint out of the outside duct. We removed the duct cover from the outside wall first and were able to get it started by manually pulling some of the compacted lint through the outside opening. Then we used the brush and extender "probe" to push forward more of the lint until all of it had been removed. My adult son did the actual work and he said we had about 12 tons of lint in there ( a slight exageration I'm sure). Because we didn't use the vacuum, we created a mess on the driveway, but a broom and dust pan made short work of that. Worth every penny!
