Chimney Typhoon Power Sweeping Set Flexible Nylon Rods & Brush Head Rotary Drill Drive Chimney Kit Flue Cleaner Removes Soot 9 Metre Set – 29 Feet

With all costs going up our local chimney sweeper has put his price up from £50 a sweep to £85 a sweep almost double. So I saw the great reviews & people posted the ease of use, done the job perfectly & thought for £50 it’s worth a try. Great value for money as it comes with everything you need & as long as you take your time read the instructions it works amazingly. I had great results cleaned our multi stove flue system brilliantly & now I can undertake whenever I want. So spent out £50 save myself £45 & it will do every season so will save me a fortune. Plus note the company can supply spares so a great deal & would recommend as long as you have a bit of patience & knowledge it’s a great investment. If on the other hand you don’t, for safety leave it to the professionals it’s that simple.

As a year had come around since my log burner was brought back into operation I was due a clean of the chimney. I looked at availability of chimney sweeps and struggled to find one with availability before this winter. I have a woodburner with a 8" stainless steel lined flue.I have used the once and it does a fantastic job. You attach the head to pole and then connect to a drill with the included chuck. It's easy enough to attach each pole to another. Once I had done a could I found a technique of rotating the two rods in opposite directions until then clicked together. The included hex key has a pointed end, which was really useful of punching the lugs used to connect each rod when disassembling.Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre even after connecting 8m of rods together. The included dust sheet is also used to help with the mess that will naturally be made.

I watched a few Youtube videos showing the Chimney Typhoon in use and purchased the Power brush system.So, here's a totally unbiased review!Ok, these are a Chinese copy of the US ButtonLok/SnapLok system, the rods are a solid plastic /Nylon material, the main difference is the locking mechanism on the rods. These are a more simplistic version, a single sprung pin which locates into the female end.It certainly works fine, however it really is a bit of a faff to get off, you have to depress the catch with the tool provided then pull apart, sounds straight forward, but trust me it isn't!Getting on is certainly easier.However, apart from that and considering the price point, it's pretty good.I have a woodburner, with a 8'' stainless steel liner, popped up a GoPro before and after and I have to say, after use, the liner is as clean as a professional sweep.Perfect for using a couple of times a year, you just don't want to be using it every day, regarding, the lock pin system, but of course you know that..Forgot to say the brush is a Nylon/ strimmer type material, works fine without trimming down.Overall, pleased with the purchase, and probably the purchase cost, less than a chimney sweep call out..(albeit without the house insurance certificate)

I waited too long before pushing the button on one of these. I was worried about the reviews of similar products mentioning getting brushes stuck.We have a very efficient modern stove, which means the flue gasses are generally pretty cool. Whilst the stove is great, the chimney really needs sweeping 3 times a season since the stove is in almost 24h/day use. We also have 2 x 45degree bends in the first 2M of chimney run, which makes using conventional rods impossible. This kit makes sweeping through a chimney access port/door easy. The rods managed the 2 bends easily, and the kit has paid for itself first use. The drill attachment did pop off the bottom rod a couple of times, but this didn’t cause problems, and is possibly due to technique. Either way, the kit did a brilliant job, and has got the stove back to full efficiency in about 20 minutes. The storage bag is good quality, and means I can keep the rods handy in the under stairs cupboard.I had no worries about the rods themselves coming apart in use. The rod to rod connections (sprung button and hole) are more secure than the drill to rod attachment. This is by design, since the drill to rod connector needs to be removed each time you add another rod.The rods are solid nylon with crimped on steel fittings. They are not pinned through, but I had no worries about the fittings coming off. The rotary technique means that you are constantly moving the brush head up and down, completely different to old fashioned rods with a stiff brush that is very difficult to change direction since the stiff bristles are either pointing down (when pushing up) or up (when pulling down). The whole process was easy and highly successful.Very pleased I bought this. Not perhaps for everyone, but makes a nasty job very straightforward.

Excellent product for the price. Had no trouble at all. Just added 1 rod to the other at a time with the cordless drill at the opposite end and gently moved the rods up the chimney as the drill is turning on slow speed. When bringing the rods back down keep the drill turning and detach 1 rod at a time then re-attach the drill and carry on until finished.
