I noticed that it includes a 4" brush. However, we have a 3" liner. Does this mean it won't fit, or does it squish into the liner without any problems? Would I need to trim the brush?
my venting comes out the stove with a cleanout, up about 4 feet and straight out with a 90 about two feet. I took the cap off out side and tried the lint eater from the outside but can't seem to get it past the 90. I think I need one with those little plastic balls in the middle of the brush in order for it to negotiate the elbow.

Bought a 3inch brush to use wit the linteater at Lowes for $10. Unlike the soft plastic brush that came with the lint eater, this one is course and stiff. Doesn't seem to be plastic. I haven't tried it out yet.
My linteater goes through my 90 just fine. I hook up my vac inside at the T and run from the outside through 5 foot horizontal around the 90 then down 2 feet, use a 12v cordless drill, just keep it spinning with some pressure.

Just tried my lint eater, I can't get it to go around my 90 elbow either. I had it spinning fast, i tried to push it, I tried from inside, I tried from the outside....It won't make it around.
