This product is not terrible, but I am not sure if it is the best dryer vent cleaning system out there. I was reluctant to get a vent "brush" because I couldn't imagine how a long-handle brush could get all the way down the vent and pick up excess lint...I was pretty sure that a brush would miss areas. The most attractive feature about this product is that you can attach it to your vacuum hose and literally suck out all the lint and other dirt/dust/crumbs/hair/tissue/etc. that could not be caught in the lint trap. My dryer's lint trap is located on the top of my dryer...it is a small flip open top and you basically pull out the long, rectangular lint trap.
The product is basically as shown in the photo...although I imagine it is easier to clean a dryer like the one depicted in the photo. One third of the attachment is a hard plastic tube that fits over your vacuum hose attachment, and the rest is a soft plastic (bendable) hose that actually does reach all the way down my dryer's lint vent. I have also found that this vent vac hose can be used to vacuum other areas of the house that the traditional vacuum hose attachment cannot get to. Examples: under the refrigerator and other various appliances, a/c vents, in small crevasses or under furniture pieces that are close to the ground. The concept of this tool is great, but there is one problem.
When shipped by the distributor (item does not come from Amazon), they packaged it so badly that by the time I opened it up, the hose was very bent...to the point where it created two large creases on the soft plastic hose. I left it out in the sun for a while to soften up so I could re-shape it, but the creases still remained. While this isn't a huge problem, when using the vent vac hose, it has a tendency to close itself off at these creases...thus, airflow is stopped. I had to pull it out of the vent several times to re-shape it but it would continue to do so. After a while, I decided to put my hand down the dryer vent as far as possible to hold the plastic hose at the point where it would pinch itself off...and that did seem to help. It was pretty annoying, however.
All in all, a great concept and I suppose that if it is packaged/shipped with more care, the problem with the hose closing itself off would not happen. The price is right, however, and I was still able to get plenty of lint out that probably had been stuck in the dryer vent for years...so it did do the job, it was just a trying process at times.

I ordered and used this product. I couldn't even use it once because the hose part of the product kept collapsing on itself, disallowing air to go through it. It did NOT work. Even using my fingers to hold the hose open, it barely created enough suction to clean my dryer. Do NOT order this product.

This is a great idea. However, the end of the vac that fits into the vacuum attachment may not fit your vacuum. It does not fit my vacuum attachments. The other end of the vac is very narrow. It has little slits in the plastic (creating 'fringe') but works better if they are cut off. The vac is really good for getting lint not only in the lint trap but also in the narrow areas in or around the dryer.

worthless dryer vent cleaner
I should have read other people's reviews and maybe saved myself some money. The product probably would have worked IF it hadn't come folded up and the hose collapsed. Read more

Wouldn't make the curve in my dryer. Once I got it where I wanted it to go it would plug up.

Great sucker
This vacuum snake does a great job of keeping the interior of the exhaust of our clothes dryer clean. Exactly as advertised. Every home with a clothes dryer should have one.
