Product Description

The LintEater 10 Piece Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System is designed for the homeowner by a leading manufacturer of commercial duct cleaning equipment and comes with everything needed to clean and regularly maintain the entire dryer exhaust venting system with professional results.

LintEater Multiple Turns
How LintEater Works
Unlike typical manually operated vent brushes, the superior design of the LintEater Auger Brush allows both air and loosened lint to pass through the durable bristles for easy lint removal. The rotating action of the self-feeding Auger Brush and flexible rods scours the entire vent wall surface, while smoothly navigating the multiple twists and turns that are common in most exhaust vents.

LintEater System
Easy to Use
The included adapters enable you to use the air from the clothes dryer, shop vacuum or electric blower to completely remove lint from the vent while rotary cleaning at the same time. The Operator's Manual has detailed, step-by-step instructions and illustrations covering many different cleaning situations, based on decades of professional experience and techniques.

Multiple Uses
The Lint Brush will reach 42 inches when connected to one flexible rod ? all the way to the bottom of your lint trap. The brush head is bendable to conform to tight spaces and works for both top and door mounted lint traps. The brush filaments are extremely durable and may be repeatedly washed to provide years of use. The exceptional reach makes it a snap to clean behind, underneath and all around your appliances. Use it to clean baseboard heating vents or connect several rods to clean ceiling fans, vertical blinds, cobwebs or any hard to reach areas around the home.

The Blockage Removal Tool can be used to dislodge and clear animal and bird nests in the exhaust vent prior to rotary brushing and also clears debris from clogged gutter downspouts ? without stepping foot on a ladder.

The optional 12 Foot Extension Rod Kit adds to the LintEater Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System for exhaust vents longer than 12 feet. The optional LintCatcher captures loosened lint from the dryer vent while rotary brushing.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gardus RLE202 LintEater 10-Piece Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System

Customer Review: Half of a dead lizard...
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent and easy to use product. The whole process from taking parts out of the box to cleaning everything and packing it back took me 30-40 minutes with the cleanup taking the longest.

I knew that 12' of flexible rods that come with the LintEater Dryer Vent Cleaning System would not be enough for my application, so I bought an extension pack from the local Lowe's that had the best price for LintEater extensions. I used the total of six rods, which is 18' and I had about 1.5 foot from the drill to the vent and about 1 foot came out on the other side.

The manual says that you can clean the vent from the outside or from the inside. I decided to go from the inside thinking that the brush would push loosened lint outside like it looks in the picture on the product page. I used the supplied shop-vac attachment to minimize mess, and it worked well. There was a little lint that the brush pushed to the outside, but there was about 2 gallons of lint in my 5 gallon shop-vac (Vacmaster VWM510 Wall Mount Wet/Dry Vacuum Powered by Industrial 2-Stage Motor with Remote Control, 5 Gallon, 5 Peak HP). I also pulled a half of a lizard from the vent, but I could not find the second half even after running the system through the vent one more time time.

The manual suggests using a cordless drill with a clutch, I am sure to avoid damage to your duct, but my cordless drill's battery was dead, so I used a corded drill and it worked fine. You must be sure that the drill is set to turn clockwise or the rods may disconnect inside the duct.

Everyone's project will be different, but I strongly suggest using a shop-vac to minimize the mess. Lint looks solid when it is stuck inside the dryer vent, but it becomes very dusty when loosened. I also found that although it is tempting to connect all rods from the start, it is not convenient to use the system with too many rods outside the vent because you end up standing with the drill too far from the vent and the rods create a slack and then twist together similar to how a twisted rope would twist together when you fold it in half. I started with two rods and connected each next one when all but 5" of the system had disappeared in the vent. Additionally, the shop-vac attachment is designed for a 2" hose, and the manual does not recommend using smaller diameter hoses to avoid clogs, but my shop-vac has 1 1/4" hose, so I used duct tape to seal the hose against the shop-vac attachment and the 21' hose did not get clogged.

Overall, this is a great product and, if you want to clean your dryer vent, I suggest you give it a try.
