Chimney Typhoon Power Sweeping Set Flexible Nylon Rods & Brush Head Rotary Drill Drive Chimney Kit Flue Cleaner Removes Soot 15 Metre Set – 49 Feet

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.

Really pleased with this product. Stove has two bends in flue and it managed these with no issues. Had no issues adding and removing poles. Just make sure you keep drill turning as you pushed the poles up and bring them back down. Cleaned alot of dirt from flue, probably the best clean I've managed to do with any pole system. Make sure you use plastic cover as there will be alot of dust.

​I decided to tackle my own chimney sweeping this year after looking at the rising costs of professional services. This set was roughly a third of the price of paying someone to do it. After watching a few tutorials online, I found it to be a very straightforward job, and the kit provided everything needed to get a clean flue. ​The DIY Experience: ​Simplicity: If you are comfortable with basic DIY, you don't need to be intimidated by this. With the right tutorials and a bit of patience, it’s a very manageable task. ​The Brush: Unlike some kits that come with various stiff brushes, this includes a flexible brush head designed to cover most chimney diameters and navigate bends easily. It worked perfectly for my setup, providing a thorough clean without getting stuck. ​The Saving: You really can't argue with the economics. The kit has already paid for itself in a single afternoon, and every use from here on out is a massive saving compared to a professional sweep. ​The "One Star" Deduction: The only reason I’ve given this 4 stars instead of 5 is the quality of the rod connections: ​Difficult Clips: This set uses a clip-lock system rather than standard threads. I found the clips quite tricky to get apart once the job was done, especially with a bit of soot in the mechanism. ​Quality Control: One of the clips was actually non-functional right out of the box. Thankfully, because I was only doing a bungalow, I had more than enough rods in the set to finish the work, but it’s something to be aware of if you have a taller house and need the full length. ​Verdict: Despite the fiddly clips, this is an excellent investment. It’s effective, the flexible brush is very versatile, and it saves a significant amount of money. Just be prepared to spend a little extra time wrestling with the connections when you're packing it away!

Very good piece of kit. Done the job well & easy to assemble whilst using. Sometimes the release catch is a bit stubborn & difficult to press.

Looked at you tube vids on this and thought why not,sweep was booked as usual once per year,but I had a wait for him to come,it was getting colder By the day and didn't want to light stove till it was swept,so I ordered this kit. And I just went by the watched vids. Bought 12 meter but only needed 10. First use was a bit of a faff but got the job done. Was worried about it getting stuck up there but fussed over nothing. Just make sure they are properly clicked in and off you go. Got loads of soot out and the fires been on and I'm happy. Brilliant bit of kit. Still using the sweep once a year just for the certificate he gives. But I can just do the extra myself for peace of mind. Chimney fires ain't a joke so the small investment is a small price to pay.

This is amazing. I bought the 11 metre one. We had a sweep do our chimney last year. They charged £110, got their brush stuck in the bird cage at the top and charged me another £50 to get up on the roof (on my ladders) to retrieve their brush and clean the cage at the top. This kit went straight up and cleaned the cage from the inside. Perfect job. I just used a sheet to cover the stove. Not much mess. All tucked away in the bag now, ready for an end of season clean. I would highly recommend this.

Good product, delivered on time.

Looks good, hope to use it in the next few days, thank you,

Good rods, easy to use and flexible. Just make sure they are well clipped together.

Top quality power sweeper.. I bought to clean my stove that has a 150mm flue liner and it worked great using my cordless drill. The rod connectors are solid and secure so it doesn't come apart and rods are very flexible to get through 45deg at base with ease.. I put up snake camera afterwards to inspect and it had it cleaned great.. I would highly recommend this chimney kit.

Great does a good job have done the neighbours chimney aswell
