Good Set - Help Your Dryer!Jan 24, 2006
By Eldemila
I bought this at a local BB&B store. I clean my lint filter out regularly, other family members do not. I knew it had to be dirty, but I had no idea! This set of tools does work, but a few modifications could easily give it a 5 star rating.

The vacuum hose could be improved upon by being a little bit bigger, as in the opening of the flat tube. The opening is not that big and if you have a lot of dirt down there, it clogs up easily. Just a little bigger and it would be great - in my case, it would still clog, but probably less, and of course, NOW I shouldn't have that problem. I was amazed and mortified to see what came out of my dryer! I used my Rainbow vacuum which has a water basin instead of a bag so I can see what it was pulling out. I had to stop and take off the hose and suck out the dirt with the hose of the vacuum and put it back on - this happening over and over. I pulled out a AA battery???, pencil, penny, and other things I wasn't quite sure what they were. One thing, it tends to curve, which is fine, it should, your lint filter does too. My suggestion is to turn it around and use it that way as well so you vacuum the "back" of the wall of the lint filter area too.

The vacuum hose and the brush were what I used. The duct brush I haven't really used yet so I can't comment much about it. It's coiled and I'm not sure how easy it is to snake through the ducts. For me, I have only about 3 feet of duct and it may just be easier to replace this piece than trying to clean it out.

All-in-all I think it's a great set. I know you can purchase items such as these separately, but as a kit, it's cheap enough to get all 3 pieces together. I'm hoping this makes an improvement in my drying time. I can only imagine what I've pulled out of there (and it's been a lot - over 18+ years worth of yuck!) hampered the dryer somewhat.

ONE TIP - if you tend to use fabric softener sheets in your dryer, make sure you wash your lint filter from time-to-time. I read a tip a while back that sheets clog up your filter screen, and they do, or at least did on mine. Take your filter to the sink and run some water in there, it should go through just like a sieve. When I tried this on mine for the first time, barely any water went through - meaning, air isn't going through either. Washed it with a little soap, and viola, water went through just like a sieve!

Very useful toolMar 27, 2006
By AP
I have been looking for a long brush to keep my vent duct clean of lint. I have a long duct of probable 15 or 18 feet with curves. The Dryer Max Lint Removal kit has been certainly helpful. The brush is perfect for the duct, it is hard and flexible enough to remove all the lint and still keep moving over the curves of the duct.

I have to recommend this tool; it is a must for the regular house keeper.

Dry Max Dryer Lint Removal Kit - Disappointing Product!Jun 23, 2008
By C. Warner
Item was shipped/received very quickly, however, I was extremely disappointed with the lint removal kit. The flat hose did not work well in vacuuming because it was bent in several places in order to fit into the box. At each bend in the hose the lint could not suck through so therefore it stayed clogged. Also, a plastic piece on the kit broke off the first time I tried to use the system. So my purchase was a complete waste of money! I would not recommend this kit.

This is a great idea but only about 1/3 of the product is actually useful...Jan 30, 2012
By J. P. "J.P."
I purchased this product about a year and a half ago for cleaning out a front loading dryer. The product was sold by a third party but fulfilled by Amazon. Overall it arrived in great condition but I quickly discovered more cons with the product than reasons it would make my life easier.

The Pros:
The lint brush is most effective for reaching the lint far in the dryer and does a great job at it.

The Cons:
When it comes to the vacuum attachment and the dryer vent hose cleaning brush; they could both be improved a lot. The vacuum attachment is sent in the box bent in several places. After a year and a half of having this product it has never un-crimped enough so that it doesn't frequently clog at those crimp points. This tool would be an excellent item if it weren't for this major problem at the manufacture/boxing level. The dryer vent hose cleaning brush is pictured as being able to go far and pull a lot of lent out of the pipe. The line that the brush is attached to is "curved plastic". What this means is that there is no rigidness to the line to actually successfully push it far into the pipe to pull anything out. In the year and a half I have had this product, the plastic has never been able to be straightened much less offer leverage to push it into the pipe.

All in all, for the price getting the one brush isn't such a bad deal. I did find a way to make the vacuum hose attachment work better; I un-bent a wire coat hanger and ran it the length of the hose, if the hose gets clogged I move it side to side and it helps unclog the hose and helps cut down on the narrow "crimp" points.

I can't say I'd recommend this product, but I would give it three stars: -1 star for the useless dryer vent hose cleaning brush, and -1 star for the difficulty caused by the vacuum attachment.

Zero Stars!!Dec 22, 2008
By Scarlett MX5
Why isn't there an option for zero stars? This product has earned it. The vacuum hose is bent in three places (won't unbend) and worthless. Since the storefront would charge a restocking fee for this $19.95 defective product (and I would have to pay shipping on top of that), it is not even worth returning or donating. It was a waste of money. To the trash can it goes....
