Does this somehow fit to a vacuum cleaner to clean the lint out?

NO. A vacuum cleaner is NOT used. The clothes drier is run empty on an air cycle. The rods and a brush (included) with the basic kit, that attach to the end of the assembled rods, are attached at the other end to an electric or cordless power drill. While the drill is "ON" and is turning the rods and the turning brush at the end of rods is slowly fed from the external terminal vent opening for the clothes drier, towards the drier itself. The accumulated lint is broken up by the brush, and the powerful drier exhaust air flow blows the lint particles out through the exhaust vent. The extension rods are added incrementally as the brush is pushed up the duct and "fed" toward the drier. This process will clean out the drier duct very quickly. You may use or need a vacuum (or a broom, or a rake) to help clean up the lint particles that come out of of the drier exhaust vent. The whole process takes 10-15 minutes.

There are attachments that will allow a vacume cleaner to be used in conjunction; the RLE202 has the attachment. The unit youare refering to (R3203612), is an extension kit which only provides extra rods for longer reach. Each rod is about 3 ft long. The rodsare attached to a rotating device such as a hand drill and then used to snake its way through the duct. Once you have removed most of the pilled up lint, a vacume may help but a leafblower is much better. Start with the RLE202 and get these rods if you need more length.

What do you want, to connect to a hoover, (these are only rods to extend up the chimney).

I bought this for this exact same purpose, but found out the pipe is not designed to suck the lint out of the dryer vent. The connections on both ends of the pipe are designed to fit on top of a black connector. The lint when sucked in gets stuck at this narrow connectors and is not getting sucked in. I used this on a regular vacuum cleaner which does good job normally, so there is no problem with the suck pressure. If only they can redesign the black connectors to be flush or fitting outside then the lint will be sucked in smoothly. So, my rating is 1 star on this product.

Would depend on the size of your vacuum, mine is a pet vac so mine wouldn't fit

It didn't fit on my Vac-then-Steam Shark. Was disappointed with the purchase as it didn't fit my machine. Probably should contact the company and ask them before buying. Hope this was somewhat helpful. Good luck.

When you run your fingers the opposite direction, you get the lint off. Other than that, I imagine wiping it down with a cold washrag would get rid of any residual dust.

I used it with my Dyson DC41. Though I wasn't happy with the lint lizard, it did fit on my Dyson.

Hose must be the size of the dust port. A reducer or expander could be coupled to the hose of the vac to make a good fit.

Yes. The back part swings open on a hinge and you can remove any lint that accumulates.

NO, it requires a little pressure by the thumb from underneath. I do this to clean the lint that it picks up on the rollers.It is a great unit, just wish it was not quite as bulky.

This will fit most round hoses, but if your vacuum has a hose that is not round this will not fit. It does not need extra power, nor does it have its own cord or plug. Just attach it to the end of the hose and turn on your vacuum cleaner.

I use the dyer sheet from the dryer. It helps a little. I also find using my vacuum helps remove the lint from the trap.

Yes. If it seems slightly large (too loose), this is what you do: use cardboard from an ordinary cereal box (Raisin Bran, whatever) and cut a piece 2"x 4.75". Wrap it around the end of the 1.25 " shop vac hose. You will have a perfect fit. By doing this I am able to use any accessory from a household vacuum on my 1.25" shop vac hose. You have plenty of cardboard; cut some extra pieces.

No, I used it with my Shark vac. It is very thick and almost cat litter texture. It was hard to vacuum up

Gary, It is a very generic/universal design as far as the attachment goes, so it might fit. The problem is it blows off the trash can top, even with clamps on. Maybe with a lesser powered vac like the homelite it will work, but I caution against this product based on my experience. It does not work as advertised, at least with the toto leaf blower/vac.

That is a manufacturers question. Only bought this since it fit my cleaner.

It should work for this, I have cats and I do see cat hair in my lint trap.

I have it connected to my washing machine and the sink and works very well but I am not sure about the lint.
