Lint Lizard – just okay I rate the Lint Lizard merely okay because of my overall satisfaction with the product.In fairness, it does work. The hose connection and adpater do form a good seal with my Dyson vacuum hose for very good suction. The quality of the plastic parts is also pretty good. It should last a long time. I will be able to use the Lint Lizard to get into any crevices up to 1″ wide, where my vacuum hose cannot fit – between range and counter, refrigerator cleaning, etc. Which is a good thing because I’m not going to be able to use it on my dryer, not on the front end where the lint trap is.That is where I got that “as seen on TV” suckered again feeling. The stated length of 43″ is the whole thing: tubing, connector, and adapter. The clear tubing itself is only 30″ long. This is not going to “snake out” your dryer vent. I got absolutely no lint to come out of my front dryer vent opening even with the LL going full blast with the excellent suction of my Dyson vac. The tubing is sturdy, which means it’s not all that flexible, and it’s 1″ wide, which is too wide to get any farther than where the lint trap sits. (I have an LG TROMM dryer, which has more of a slot than a large hole for the air/lint to travel out. Recommend you check your dryer airway to see how it’s built to know if the LL will do anything for you.)Again, in fairness, I’m pretty diligent about cleaning my dryer’s lint trap before each use and I use a flexible dryer lint brush/wand every month or so. The Lint Lizard will certainly take the place of a dryer lint brush on my kind of dryer. It will also no doubt work well on the back vent of the dryer, where the opening is a 4-6″ metal duct where a shop vac hose will fit. It might work okay going in from the outside vent through the flexible hose that connects dryer to external vent, but only if that hose is not very long — 30″ of LL tubing doesn’t get you far. You’re better off replacing the flexible hose once a year or so. They don’t cost very much.One other thing: The shipping and handling almost doubles the cost of the item, a typical “as seen on TV” scam. (The item does not ship through Amazon.) To their credit though, the shipper TexasValue 108 did sent it priority mail, so I received it in about a week.Summary: the Lint Lizard is a well made product that may work on some models of dryers, but not all, and is a good 1″ hose extension for your vacuum for other cleaning.
VIRTUALLY USELESS – DONT BOTHER The concept is great for sure but the clear plastic 1″ hose is SO INFLEXIBLE that it’s useless at trying to guide it where you want it to go. And because it comes curled up in the box it stays that way! And I recall the advertisement saying that it reaches up to 4 feet – NO WAY! the tube is 2 ft at best but because you cant staighten it it’s MUCH less than two feet of usage. Also when you try to bend the hose the other way it kinks. DONT WASTE YOU MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT. Instead, go to home depot get some clear plastic tubing and tape it to your vacuum. I guarantee you’ll bve much happier.
Does not work; all hype Tube is really only 30 inches long. It is 1 inch wide, too fat to easily fit into my lint panel. I did manage to squeeze it in, but It kept turning in one direction, getting stuck on one side; I could not get it to straighten out. It’s not strong enough (even on extra-oomph vac speed) to really pull the lint out. It did barely capture some lint at the end, but nothing went through into the vacuum. If lint is even slightly damp this thing can’t even move it. This is a waste of money. I wound up cleaning the old way: old metal coat hangar bending it as needed (dryer unplugged first, of course).
