Why is this so much cheaper than the handy viper (799.00) and do the poly brushes work well enough? or should i get metal? i have a steel chimney

I've seen a range of prices for the "Handy Viper" including the $799 that you mention, but that's at the very high end. The Wohler 9412 Viper L Viper, 50' Long that I had bought ranges from the low $400s to over $500. Currently I see it as follows, along with the choices of brushes: Wohler 9412 Viper L Viper, 50' Long $406.97; Chimney 44215 8 in. Poly Brush For Viper- For 6 in. Flue $46.12; Wohler Usa #1415 10 Inch Poly Brush For Viper For 8 Inch Flue $46.48. I have a 6 in. flue so I got the 8 in. brush for around the price listed. The Viper that I bought, at the low-end price, is the one that the professionals who had installed my chimney & stove have used for the past nine seasons. However, at $170 per cleaning with their Viper, plus hand brushing the stove pipe above the stove leading to the outer chimney, which takes them about 1/2 hour, I've decided that this year I will do this on my own. I would highly recommend that you buy the above items that I've listed along with the correct brush for your chimney size. While I haven't used this item as of yet, I do believe that this would be your best way to go. I too have a steel chimney & believe that the poly brush, regardless of which Viper you purchase, will be sufficient.

Is this an older model? I noticed the photo here doesn't look like one on the Wohler website.

This pic looks like the one I have. Works great.

can this be used for commercial kitchen ducts?

Worked great on chiminey flue. I would say yes it would work.

What size pollybrush do i use in a 7x11flu

9x13. You will have to buy a brush separately and an adaptor for the viper so the brush will screw on.

Great tool which prevents having to climb a latter to clean a chimney

I first saw the Wohler Viper used by a chimney cleaning professional who I hired a few years ago. I finally broke down & purchased on this year, used it for the first time & love it so far.

Saved me a LOT of money

Yes it was expensive, but at almost 200$/cleaning from the "sweeps" this is a bargain! Plus my chimney gets cleaned MUCH more often, no appointments and when I think it needs it! My ONLY issue is I wish it was adaptable to other brushed on the market?

I was paying a chimney sweep $250 a year to clean my chimney using this Viper.

Worth the money.

Saves me money

I did the math and buying one of these along with a couple different sized heads would pay itself off in 2 years. No more scheduling to have the chimney cleaned and waiting months for it to get done. Just give take care of it yourself with 15 minutes of your time. No waiting around for the chimney sweeps to show up late. Great purchase.

Useful for Bottom Up Sweeping

Purchased this based on the advice of the person who installed my wood stove and stove pipe (which has two 45-degree elbows). The installer claimed the Wohler would let me easily sweep the stove pipe from the bottom up and be flexible enough to get through the elbows. He was right. The product is constructed well. The reel features a locking mechanism. The brush attachment had to be purchased separately. The system is light-weight. I wish the legs on the reel were slightly longer. Due to a knee problem I needed to sit on the leg rather than step on it to keep it from moving around as I unspooled the fiberglass rod. However I won’t ding them a star for that.

this has solved my issues

i burn 24/7 and get about two months before i need to clean out the chimney, every season I am unable to get on the roof because of snow and my clean out cap is only 6' from the ground so I cant use rods, this is just what I needed and can now clean from the ground all season long

Amazon does not carry the brushes individually. Only an expensive set of 6 mixed sizes. I still haven't managed to get the brush I need from the manufacturer.
