Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ontel Products DRMH-MC6 Dry Max Dryer Lint Removal Kit
Customer Review: Universal fit? Not my universe apparently....
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm not sure what they had in mind by saying the vacuum hose attachment offers a "universal fit." It doesn't fit the same universe my Miele vacuum was made in. So in order to make it fit I took an empty two liter plastic bottle and carefully cut off the bottom and top, leaving just a barrel shaped piece of plastic - which I then carefully sliced lengthwise. I rolled it up into a tube shape, fit one end into my vacuum hose for a loose fit, then wrapped that end of my homemade adapter with a layer of duct tape to prevent it from unraveling. Now I can easily slide it into my vacuum hose end when needed. I did the same for the end that fits into the "universal" attachment. The vacuum hose attachment comes folded, and each crease seems to act as a dam preventing anything from getting through. So it requires a bit of squeezing of each crease (running it under warm water helps soften the creases) in order to open/widen them a bit. It now works fairly well and I store it lengthwise without folding it again. For some reason there is a screw at the nozzle end of the "universal" attachment that causes clogging. The brushes work as intended so no real complaints there... Overall, it does work, only it requires some modifications.Customer Review: Okay set, bad packaging
Summary: 2 Stars
The long brush is really weak, cheap and won't straightened out. The brush for cleaning the lint shoot in the dryer is a good quality good length brush. The vacuum tube is good, but since it was folded to fit into a small square box, it has squashed places in it that you can't un-squash and causes it to clog. Had this been packaged in a long box that did not require folding the vacuum tube, it would help alot.Customer Review: did not really work
Summary: 2 Stars
Turned out there was an exhaust problem that required a different solution (opening exhaust on outside of my house) but this thing was still too stiff to snake through an exhaust system that works itself up from the basement.Customer Review: A waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
While the little brushes can come in handy the design of the flat tube piece for under appliances etc. is significantly of poor design. As other reviewers have noted the flat piece is a stiff plastic that arrives bent to fit in the box. Sadly the bend marks compromise the suction by crimping the tubing permanently and makes it fairly ineffective. Add to the the center tip has a bar that catches lint, pet dander, etc and immediately blocks off- again, making it worthless.
Needs to be redesigned to a flexible softer plastic that doesn't crimp and has better suction. Plus the part that connects into vacuum tube is too small and leaves more air gap that decreases suction.
Too much money for just a couple of small brushes that might work cause the plastic vacuum piece is garbage.
Customer Review: Save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Unless you have a TON of lint, save your money. I have the type of dryer where the lint tray is just behind the door. The lint trap vent brush works a little bit but only for large amounts of lint. The vacuum hose attachment was virtually useless, even using a vacuum with strong suction. They have to bend it to fit it in the box. When you unpack it the folds stay in the hose. You need to maneuver it around so the bend works with you. I didn't have much lint but it didn't even pick up what was there. I finally gave up and found another method. I suppose this unit would be good if you had a lot of lint, but it certainly wasn't close to the rave reviews I've seen about it picking up batteries and other items.
