Lint Lizard Vs. Flexible Crevice Dryer Vacuum Attachment Review

[@YoumuHoover]

Like all as seen on TV stuff they are completely useless and be put in the basement never to be used again or donated to a goodwill

[@Dankcatvacs]

there are a few good ones out there

This is perfect -- I have a Miele with a flexible crevice tool and a Speed Queen DR7, so this video is tailor-made for me!

The very first lint lizard I purchased had a clear, wider vinyl tube that was relatively stiff, but more or less worked OK. A newer lint lizard looked/behaved similar to your tested example. However, a Sebo dealer offered the black long crevice tool you used towards the end of this video (not Sebo's version but a generic version) that worked like you said. FYI i finish with a 730 CFM Ego leaf blower shooting air into the exhaust duct (blows lint out of fan and internal exhaust ductwork).

I have the genuine attachment and not the knock off. It works well. You need to be able to spin it like a drain snake. The downfall is with all of it is that you need to know what the path looks like. I have a Whirlpool dryer and the vent fan gets lint built-up on it causing it to start rumbling and to be obnoxiously loud. I took the machine apart once to clean it. Now I know what it looks like inside, I can snake the host into the area and then suck off layers of lint pancakes.

Good review! I move my dryer away from the wall about once a year, and take the back off and do a thorough vacuuming. I am like you and would suggest the crevice tool over the lint lizard. I have a long lint brush for brushing and swabbing lint that is stuck inside, too, but one of my shop vacs or Kirby in hose mode is more effective at completely removing the stuck on lint.

I have the car cleaning tools from Dyson. The crevice tool extends and is flexible but has a small brush on the end. I usually use it with Henry when cleaning between the seat and console. I’ve never used it in the dryer exhaust. I’ll have to try it. It may get the fine dust stuck to the sides. I have the Kenmore Elite washer and dryer. I believe LG makes the Elite line for Kenmore. Great informative video. Dryer lint is very combustible!

[@Dankcatvacs]

best method would be have an air compressor and or a shop vac with a blower to agitate the dust free .brushes too. i have the old school style dryer lint trap and its not very old . they still make them like that.

[@vacuumcleanerwithagun]

I feel like a regular vacuum and compressed air from a air compressor would work great

I must be one of the few Lint Lizard fans, at least of the older model, circa 2006 or so…whenever the original came out. I, too, have the Dyson flexible crevice tool, but even removing the lint trap housing, it just doesn’t reach far enough or easily make the right-angle turn toward the rear of the dryer vent, and it also blocks more quickly. I’ve found using an old-school long dryer brush with handle after vacuuming the big chunks loosens dusty residue (generally from use of fabric softeners) that’s stuck on the dryer’s vent interior, followed by the Lint Lizard, works far better than the Dyson attachment. (It also works better in the tracks of my sliding glass door, and fits into the gap at the base of the door where it sits on the tracks and gathers pet fur). I have the newer Maytag steam option dryer now, which replaced a 2000 era Maytag Duet. I pulled the front off the Duet several years ago and was surprised at how little lint had escaped first my mom’s, then my, religious use of the Lint Lizard she bought years ago. I regularly wash and dry down pillows and comforters, flannel, and other natural fibers (plus copious amounts of pet fur) that together produce astounding amounts of lint. As Bryan noted, lint is highly flammable, and as a former newspaper journalist on the fire beat, I covered far too many dryer fires, so I’m extra cautious in cleaning it. Top-loading dryer lint traps seem to allow much more opportunity for lint to escape the trap, even being emptied with each load. Years ago, my first dryer after getting married was an inexpensive Magic Chef with a top trap. The dryer started smelling hot, so I called a firefighter friend to help me disassemble the machine. The entire drum was absolutely caked with a layer of lint around the outside that no vacuum reached, even though I vacuumed both the lint trap and its opening regularly. It was a fire waiting to happen. It’s never a bad idea to remove the top or front panel annually and vacuum and inspect it, and even remove the back panel, as well.

My goodness these have exploded, since the first Lint Lizard came out! These are certainly not the greatest, there can be improvements made. Fascinating what has been on the market.

[@mylegacytransformed]

Exploded?! 👀 😳 😢

[@nonelost1]

How does it fit the BISSELL, eureka, Dirt Devil, and shark?

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I have the speed queen washer and dryer as well and do the same thing. I use the central vac system. The thing I have different is my washer is a top loading washer. If possible can you do a video on your front loader some day? I have been trying to find one but no luck.

[@marklloyd4153]

Maybe running a very narrow not to firm wire through it would give u more control over it

[@nmvac82]

Joel going buy one and use adapter to Zambrano’d use vacuum attachments. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@ryanhawkins1235]

Man they went cheap on the new Lint Lizard. It looks like they used CPAP hose for the new one. I have an an older Lint Lizard with a stiff tube of clear tubing similar and it's stiff enough to control it and goes down the pull out filter area on my tradition old school style dryer. Not a good redesign.
