Product review (5 stars): Linteater is AWESOME!!
I have a two year old LG dryer and from the start we never seemed to get our clothes dry on the first cycle. Regularly, it would take about three cycles to completely dry our clothes. I can say that we were definitely disappointed on the performance considering its price but never really gave it further thought. Then, we started to get a funky smell from our clothes and a burning scent from the chamber.
Thats when we called for service and the technician quickly diagnosed a clogged vent. He recommended we get it cleaned for about $120 but I declined. I then turned to the net and soon found this great tool everyone was raving about. I can tell you it did not disappoint at all. It is very easy to use and does exactly what is says, as long as you follow the directions.
All negative reviews seem to stem from user error and turning drill wrong way. Its is clearly printed in bold letters to ensure drill spins clockwise, otherwise you will end up with brush and rods stuck in your vent. All in all, it took me an hour to clean 15' of pipe and remove about three gallons of lint with no issues. WOW!, what a difference. Our drying time is a fraction what it used to be and our clothes are dry on the first try.
Follow the directions and you will be very pleased with your results. I definitely recommend the Linteater for its simplicity, cost, and performance. More than satisfied customer.
