Photos tell a story

This product does the job - I've uploaded a couple of photos, one before and one after cleaning my factory chimney. It should be fairly obvious which is which. It's been a few years since I've had housekeeping to clean it up for me. Instead of paying $175 for another cleaning and inspection, I ordered this item and did it myself. nearby, even with the firebox covered with plastic wrap as instructed) took about an hour or so. The actual time of using the device itself was 10-15 minutes. It is very effective when connected to a battery powered drill as recommended in the manual. Before I started, I trimmed the brush head bristles according to the directions - I wouldn't recommend skipping this step unless you have a very wide or rectangular chimney. This gives you 18 feet of total coverage. I live in a one story house and that wasn't enough to clear the chimney the full length. I expected this and ordered two packs of additional rods sold here at Revain but I think the manufacturer should include eight sections instead of six as 18ft would be too small for all but the smallest chimneys.

Pros
  • Beautiful thing
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
