Review on Holikme Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit - Vacuum Hose Attachment Brush & Lint Remover - Blue by Polo Acri

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Weak plastic = high pitched squeak

The idea is great but the execution isn't perfect. The "sleeve" you put the vacuum in is good, it fits my Dyson which has an insanely weird and clumpy tip with minimal suction loss so I was impressed with this part. On the other hand, however, it's a different story. The straight portion of the plastic nozzle is too long, meaning it can't easily go around the bends in your dryer. It should be 1/2 to 1/3 the length to be really useful. The straight plastic part at the end is too thin to actually withstand the suction power of a vacuum cleaner, so it shrinks at the tip and creates a double whistle that cracks your ear with a high-pitched squeak. I put on noise canceling headphones and could still hear it clearly. I even warn of hearing loss if I use this product without hearing protection. The main consequence of this defect is the fact that at this point the nozzle is mostly closed due to the suction and cannot swallow large lumps. does not fuzz properly, which limits its effectiveness. I had to take it out, reshape the end of the nozzle and try again MANY times to effectively clean my dryer. That said, it got into the front of the dryer and cleaned it out quite easily, but if you (like me) wanted to climb into the dryer's gut in search of excess lint, you'll be disappointed with this product. Manufacturers, keep up the good work, make the necessary changes, thicken the plastic at the tip, shorten the straight section at the tip, and then you have a 5-star product. By the looks of it, it's a solid 2/5
