Product review (5 stars): Bought this after a house had a dryer fire in my neighborhood.
I have lived in my house for over 12 years and never even thought about having this maintenance done. A house a few doors down from me had a dryer fire causing thousands of dollars of damage so of course it got me thinking. All of the houses on this row of my subdivision were all roughly built around the same time so chances are that I could use this done to my place. This kit worked wonders!

I also wondered if the brand of my clothes dryer would relate to how much lint I would have in the vent line. I had a nice Maytag and then a nice Samsung so I should be in good shape, right? Nope...

The location of my dryer was about 6 feet from where it vents out of the house. I first tried just using a long stick to poke and scrape out the lint in the line. This did produce some results as I removed a handful or so of lint. Once I got this in the mail, I read the instructions and started using it. I did use a cordless drill and it had more than enough power. I did not use tape or anything on rods as I fed them in the wall. The instructions say to only set the drill to clockwise so that the rods don't come undone. I fed the tool into the wall a little at a time moving it back and forth a lot. Some drills that have a break might be causing the problem that some reviewers are having with the brush coming off the end. I have a DeWalt 18v cordless and I did not have this problem.

After using this method and taking my time, I dislodged an entire regular sized plastic shopping bag of lint. It was ridiculous! Not only was this dangerous but I cannot imagine how much harder this was making my dryer work. I highly recommend using this and if you buy it, lend it to friends and family! I made it a mission that a simply prevented disaster doesn't befall any of the people that I know. At least the friends and family that can work a drill...
