It should work fine. Although it's a small/short handheld.. It's not going to reach all the way to the exit in the back of the dryer.

I found it really difficult to use on my dryer with the same type of front lint screen, but my dryer is stacked on top of the washer so it may just be that it is too high for me to get in to. If your dryer is lower where you can see what you're doing it might be better, but the handle is long so it will probably be akward -- you keep hitting the front of the outside of the dryer and can't really maneuver the brush into all the nooks and crannies.

No very well, I have the same set up and this doesn't bend easily enough to clean it effectively. I haven't found one that will though.

There is an optional 1200/1500 switch found behind the lint screen, which is removable for cleaning. Just pull the lint screen cover off to access it, then put the cover back on.

This vent does not contain heat. The heat from the dryer goes into the container and hits the water that you put in the container. The water attracts the lint and then the warm air escapes through the five large openings. I do not see how this can be used for a portable air conditioner.

I don't think mine has slits on the bottom...but the only thing I can guess is for air flow (ventilation) but then why would that be on the bottom?

If it is only a matter of reach, there is an extension kit that can be added to the base brush kit to make it reach a lot further. If it is a matter of being impacted with packed lint that needs to be dislodged, I would suggest running the dryer on air dry (no heat) and approaching from the exit end outside the house so that you have the brush trying to pull and dislodge the lint while the dryer blower is pushing. The downstream end of the blockage should be more easily penetrated by the brush since it has been protected from the additional buildup of lint. The brush does tend to feed itself into the blockage when drill is in forward mode since the bristles are in a screw pattern. Also, you only need enough length to reach half way through your vent pipe, if you can work from both ends. The rods will turn corners that are wider than 90 degrees in the vent pipe just fine. If nothing else, you should find out where the blockage is located in the pipe so you know where to tear in if the lint will not dislodge. Good luck.

No if you have a vent door on the out side of the house, it opens when you use your dryer, closes to keep rain, heat, bugs, small creators, out of the house. Yes the vent trap goes in the dryer vent line near the dryer so you can clean it.

Hi Cory, This device ADDS to the dryer own venting system and adds more air pressure to blow ow the moist air and lint. The device has a built in sensor that turns the devise's own motor on when ever the dryer is operating--I'm *Blowing to over 25 feet to my dryers outlet. the device makes the Dryers run-time shorter and saves electric and natural gas

The lint trap is located at the back of the dryer "drum" when you open the dryer front door. If you slip your fingers behind the plastic filter/lint trap in the back you can gently pop it off the circular plug which attaches it to the dryer drum. It really is more of a filter than a "trap". Just run the felt like filter under cold water occasionally and then place it back on the plastic holder and pop it back into place.

The vent that comes with it is a metal foil vent. But you can attach it to a metal vent and attach the metal vent to your dryer. That's what we've done.

Hey there. No. It doesn't need to be vented outside but I found that if I don't, the windows get steamed up on the cold glass. AS month back I was able to have my windows open and I had no trouble. I am using a "Indoor Lint Trap Filter" that cost about $35 bucks from Amazon. I love it but I am going to work on a way to vent it out my window for the winter. I use the dryer about 4 times each week sense I got it and I have not seen any real increases in my electrical bill. Love it. One other thing to add. Keep the internal lint filter clean and you'll get little to none lint out the hose. I used my girlfriends knee high stockings over the end of the exhaust opening and I have not seen any lint at all. I empty the inside lint filter after every load. Best of luck with your purchase and happy Thanksgiving. Hope this helps.

I have mine without and It has worked flawless. It would seem depending on the distance to the out side. My vent is through the wall directly behind my dryer.

It goes straight up but I often redirect it with a piece of cardboard (i.e. Fedex envelope) taped to the back or side. The tape is a hinge and the cardboard lies flat like a flap over the vent when the unit is off (which helps protect it from dust). Once on, the outgoing air lifts the cardboard to a 45 degree angle and the warm air gets redirected. I use this air to dry clothes, dishes, etc.

No it must be mounted so many feet from the dryer discharge. I don't remember the exact distance but it is listed in the installation guide if you can find that. My vent was in the slab of my house so we had to run a new vent.

That is a vent. And mine came with two different options, mine is lower.. I will see if I can get a picture to attach.

Yes it does. It comes out at the bottom. This is what it should do though so it doesn't back up in the vent pipe and cause a fire. It's designed tolittle critters out of the vent. I love it.

do you have an air duster? use that after you spray & wipe the screen down to make sure you remove all the dust/lint!
