Product Overview
The Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit Review covers an easy-to-use 2-piece vacuum hose/attachment set which is intended to aid you in cleaning lint/dust from the tight areas surrounding your home dryer and other appliances. This 2-piece kit consists of long, flexible hoses which will attach to most all vacuum cleaners & extend far into areas too small to allow access by using your typical vacuum wand nozzle.
These hoses could prove very helpful when cleaning your dryer’s lint trap, venting, or those tight spots on either side of the appliance, as well as under your furniture to remove built-up dust/debris.
Customers Say
Many consumers are amazed at the amount of lint and debris that this attachment can pull out of hard-to-reach areas than a typical vacuum cleaner is capable of cleaning. The majority of users have utilized the hose on the unit to clean lint-traps around dryers, vents and the space around appliances as well as to get to the back of furniture through small openings. Users are also pleased with the length and flexibility of the hose because it allows them to reach further into tight spaces. Several users reported that they were able to see an improvement in appearance after using the attachment to clean the area surrounding their dryer. Users also liked the ability to be able to access areas where a standard vacuum nozzle would be too large.
Complaints regarding the product were primarily related to its compatibility with vacuums and suction. A few users stated that the adapter did not fit all vacuums perfectly and some other users complained about reduced airflow or clogging due to pulling in larger amounts of lint. Customer reviews indicate that the product will work better for removing light lint, dust and debris from small spaces, particularly if you have a vacuum that connects securely and has enough suction.

Bottom Line
The Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit is an economical way to remove lint, dust and other debris from the small crevices in front of your clothes dryer or other household appliances. Some of its best features are the flexible hose design, increased length and ability to reach into many areas that the standard vacuum attachment may not have access to.
A few drawbacks include being compatible with vacuums, having less suction due to the smaller diameter hose, and the potential for plugging up with large amounts of lint. However, for regularly cleaning out the area behind your dryer and other tight spaces, this could be a good addition to your household vacuum.
