I would not recommend the Lint Lizard to anyone. We have a two year old (top of the line) front loader, and the Lint Lizard wouldn't clean anything beyond the shallowest area of my dryer vent... and even THEN I had to maneuver it JUST RIGHT to get MOST of the built up dust. The hose is curved and very stiff, so it makes it hard (if not impossible) to move around in the proper direction. I gave up. I am returning the Lint Lizard and I'm going to give the "Gardus LintEater Rotary Dryer Vent Cleaning System" a try -- it has a 4 1/2 out of 5 rating on Amazon.
