Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gardus RLE202 LintEater 10-Piece Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System
Customer Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
The product works as advertised. It is very easy to use and the instructions are well laid out and easy to understand. Our run was longer than the rods could clean from one end but I just ran them through from the other end to finish the run. Our run is made of rigid pipe and includes 2 90 degree bends. When I was finished, the shop vac was completely full of lint. Prior to using this product we had to run our dryer on the hi setting to dry our clothes and more often than not it took more than one cycle to dry our clothes (granted we do run loads that are pretty large). But since cleaning our duct, we can run our dryer on med and get the loads dry in one cycle. Pretty amazing if you think about it.Customer Review: Easy to use

The cleaner did a great job of getting lint build up and pulled out some duct tape left in dryer venting by the builder! One down side is getting the first section started, it is long enough to almost require a second pair of hands to guide it to get it started in the vent. Once it is started, piece of cake to use it. It is definitely worth the price.Customer Review: Easy to use!
Summary: 4 Stars
It was easy to use and it really cleaned the vents. It paid for itself in just one use.
I found trying to use it with the power drill awkward so I did it by hand. I don't have
a long vent so I am confident they got brushed out very well.
Customer Review: Easy to use--Great money saver

I wasn't really sure how this would work, but I was really impressed. It's a really simple idea, and the directions are pretty easy to follow. I'd read online that if you didn't have a shop vac that you could just duct tape your household vacum to the adaptor. I don't recommend that because the suction isn't enough. I used the blower from the dryer to clear out the lint I freed up. I also would recommend running the brush through a few times the first time you use the system. It took me three tries before I was able to clear out all the lint. I highly recommend this product. It pays for itself the first time!Customer Review: Eats Lint

So, this is what life comes down to when you are 50 years old: reviewing dryer vent cleaners while sitting at your kitchen table waiting for American Idol. This is not what I envisioned when I was 12, I can tell you that much. You kids who think it won't happen to you?
It will. Sorry to burst your bubble.
That said, the product works great. Our dryer pretty much stopped working and we were thinking we needed a new one, which was seriously going to eat into my plastic surgery budget. One last shot before a trip to the appliance store was this Gardus LintEater. My husband, who is not the handy one of the family, had to do the work as I have a torn labrum. (Which sounds dirtier than it is - that's part of your shoulder.) He, the clumsiest man in the world, had absolutely no problem using this. I warned him to read the directions first, and he actually listened and followed. He hooked it up to the drill, and away he went. He got a bunch of musty, wet lint that had probably been up inside the wall since 1977 - probably consisting of bell bottom material and macramé.
Now our dryer actually dries clothes again, and I can continue to save for my facelift. Thank you Gardus.
