The main “clogs” of …
The main “clogs” of lint are rarely at the opening (either outside or by the dryer). They occur by the 90 degree bends INSIDE the wall. To give a person the false security is wrong. Lint ignites like a firecracker fuse (almost). If lint in the dryer lights up, the blower will push the burning lint to the blockage, lighting that lint up.

The video could open him up to a law suit. It lacks accuracy. Many ducts are over 25 ft long with a few 90 degree bends. Who ever follows his advice will likely be saying thank you to a fireman after their fire is out.

HI, I have 14 years …
HI, I have 14 years experience in duct cleaning and I can tell u for sure that if u have a dirty dryer duct it can cause a fire and make ur dryer not work properly. In this video it looks like the duct is not that long and it just goes true the wall, however most of the time is not that simple, it runs 15 to 25 feet to the roof, side of the house or under. In this case u will need a professional with the right equipment.

Hi. I have 14 years experience in duct cleaning. I can tell you for sure, that a dirty dryer duct is a hazard and it can cause a fire, on top of that it will make your dryer not work properly. In this video looks like the duct just goes true the wall and if you can move the dryer and clean it your self is OK,but in many more cases the dryer duct runs 15 to 25′ up to the roof or side of the house or even under the property and for those cases you will need a professional with the right equipment

People are rude, but they have some valid points. I could save you 80 bucks by telling you you don’t need something too, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need it… And in this case it will cost much more then 80 in the short run. This is a misinformation-al video that offers a common problems with out a solution. cleaning you lint trap, ducts and vent should be done daily but having your dryer serviced by a professional inside and out should be done annually.

good video for a common problem – sure the flex ducting is not to most codes – but if you buy a new dryer and have it installed guess what they will use.

you dont know jack …
you dont know jack about dryer vent cleaning.
first thing you should mention is the metal flex in use in this video, is not in code.
that in itself is a hazard.
second, try telling an 80 year old man or woman how easy it is to remedy the problem.
you should know what you’re talking about before showing the internet world what an ill informed wanna be you are.
