These new home improvement videos are sure coming out at an appropriate time when we all are homebound and desperate to do something!
Thanks I’m a new home owner and this video is so helpful. I’ll be looking forward to more from your channel !
Rigid metal duct is better than vinyl or flexible foil duct.
While rigid metal ducts do have their advantages, flexible foil or vinyl ducts also offer benefits that shouldn't be overlooked. Flexible ducts are easier to install, especially in tight spaces, and can be more cost-effective. They can also reduce the risk of lint buildup due to their smooth interior surfaces.
I have a front venting dryer which has the ability to be rear vented as well, and the micro lint that gets through the lint trap gets stuck all along the inside vent chambers, so I clean this out about once a month. It's a no-brainer to me.
More tools to buy and store
The video shows a preventative cleaning on a regular basis. If your dryer's exhaust line hasn't been cleaned for a long time, do not use this method, you won't be able to push the lint all the way through, it will get stuck in the middle of the pipe making things much more complicated.
What method should you use if it has been a while?
Sad Lowe’s endorsement on improper dryer installation. Refer to owners installation manual not videos like this. I have to repair too many dryers hooked up wrong like this. Lowe’s please read up on proper downstream venting connections
I'll get right on that....but I know it probably won't get done for months.
How often should this be done?
Oscar probably every year but depending on usage that can change
Twice a year!
Why not just buy a new flexible vent?
If they told people that, they couldn't sell those nifty cleaning tools!
You aren’t supposed to use flexible vent like they show, voids warranty. Use rigid or flexible rigid only. I have had to fix too many dryers because of foil venting and wrong hook ups
@Josh B It's a good thing I bought a few extras before the embargo started.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you!
