Know before you buy
Yes, you will need a standard cordless drill to power the rotary system. The kit includes the rods, brushes, and adapters, but the drill itself is not included.
Yes, the system features flexible, screw-connect rods designed specifically to navigate through the turns and elbows of standard dryer ductwork.
The kit includes a vacuum adapter that allows you to connect a shop vac or blower to the vent. This helps pull or push the lint out as the auger brush scours the vent walls.
The Linteater is designed for standard residential dryer vents. It is effective for most common duct configurations, though you should ensure your vent is accessible from either the dryer side or the exterior wall outlet.
It is generally recommended to clean your dryer vent at least once a year. If you notice your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry, it is a good indicator that you should perform a cleaning sooner.
