Product review (5 stars): You can do it
My dryer was taking longer and longer to dry clothes. After my brother's neighbor's dryer caught fire, I decided it was time to clean my dryer vent. It runs up an interior wall and across the dining room ceiling, so I thought I would hire a professional that had the proper tools to do the job. They charged me $65 to clean the half that they could reach from inside the house and wanted more money to finish the job from the outside, so I politely showed them the door. The tool they were using looked just like this one. After purchasing this product, I was able to complete the job myself and was amazed at the build up of lint and birds nest that it removed. The drying time on my dryer is back to normal now. You will want to use a cordless drill with a clutch with this tool and attach a shop vac to the inside vent if you are cleaning it from the outside like I did. Good luck!
