Worked with modifications
This device only worked on the narrow coils of my Maytag MF12568AES refrigerator with slight modifications: It is narrow enough to fit fit between the coils, but it is too tall, so I had to pull out the end tip and plane down the sides a bit as pictured. (It's soft material, so that was easy work.) Then it fit fine without the end tip. (My vacuum did not overheat or clog as other reviewers commented, though I can imagine that it would if you were doing a long project or one with wads of lint or dust.)After vacuuming, I used the slightly stiff bristles of a Rubbermaid Home G156 Refrigerator Coil Brush to remove the stubborn dust and debris. The combination seemed to work best to bring this fridge back to working order.

Cen-Tec Systems 50778 Flexible Crevice Vacuum Tool, 24-Inch and Cen-Tec Systems 38903 Flexible Crevice Tool, 36"
Cen-Tec Systems 50778 Flexible Crevice Vacuum Tool, 24-Inch and Cen-Tec Systems 38903 Flexible Crevice Tool, 36"This review covers both the Cen-Tec 50778 and the Cen-Tec 38903 vacuum tools.They fit on the outside of the hose of my Dirt Devil hand-held and on my Hoover Windtunnel upright where they fit on the outside of the rigid pipe extensions and work on the inside of the flexible hose.These will fit under my washer, but not under my refrigerator or dryer. Looks like you would need at least 9/16” clearance or about 5/8”. I cleaned under my fridge with a Quickie Refrigerator Brush. It did okay and got out some nasty brown dust bunny gunk. Looking at the Miles Kimball Flexible Flat Duster that might be better.The 50778 has a crevice tool head. The 38903 has a bottom feeder head with a large opening on the bottom and a small opening in the end which is probably there to keep it from sticking to the floor, but I put a piece of duct tape on the end opening and it worked better. You can pull the heads out and interchange them which is the reason I recommend buying both. The combo of a crevice tool and a bottom feeder with a longer and shorter extension is a great vacuum accessory.The flexibility of the extensions can be a blessing and a curse. While cleaning beside and behind my refrigerator, the drooping and the side-to-side bending made it difficult to hit the mark but with persistence it finally did a good job and I don’t know anything else that would have. The flexibility was good for cleaning the dryer lent. My front-loader dryer has a plastic grate that the lent screen slides into held by 2 screws. I took off the grate and found gobs of packed lent under it and at the bottom of the lent trap that I pulled out with my hand; after that the shorter extension was handy for finishing off the residual lent on the sides and bottom of the lent trap.Should be good to get to dust behind other hard-to-move things such as bookcases, wall units, and TV stands.Lengths:50778 24” with crevice tool head is 23.5” overallWithout head, end of extension to point where back piece begins to widen is about 18 ½”Crevice head adds about 1 7/8”38903 36” with bottom feeder head is 34 ¾” overallWithout head, end of extension to point where back piece begins to widen is about 27 ¼”Bottom feeder head adds about 4”

Very handy, but be aware the inside is flat and narrow.
I bought this attachment because there was a lot of lint in the dryer that the standard vacuum hose simply couldn't reach. With this tool, I was able to get down much deeper and remove most of the lint. Its flexible so I could bend it a bit to reach the mess; and it also fits under the refrigerator and stove nicely. HOWEVER, the opening is flat and pretty narrow. This means that a wad a lint...or a peanut under the refrigerator, gets stuck somewhere in the middle of this long shaft; and even though the end is removable, it still took a coat hanger to unstick the insides.

We have an excellent but old refrigerator and two cats
We have an excellent but old refrigerator and two cats. I had every reason in the world to suspect that the coils on my refrigerator were covered with cat fur and dust so a few weeks ago I got flat on the floor and did the best I could to vacuum the coils and removed all the debris I could reach. I could see stuff back in the coils but nothing I could do would dislodge that stuff.I decided to go on the offensive and ordered this crevice vacuum attachment and have used it for the first time this afternoon. I used it on our Shark Rocket vacuum cleaner and it worked fine with the adapter that comes with the vacuum. Keeping in mind I had tried to clean it just a few weeks ago, I got a very large clump of fur and dust from beneath the refrigerator and now feel the coils are really as clean as they should be.It was not easy, however, as I had to lie flat on the floor and use a flashlight to see what I was doing. The results make my efforts worth the effort and I'll plan on doing this ever so often to maintain the efficiency of this fine old refrigerator.

Good idea to check the fit of your vac before u order.
Out of three different vacuums in my house it doesn't really fit any of them. With a lot of stubborn creativity, I was able to connect it to one just enough that if I hold it in place with one hand and the small vac with the other, I can get under my fridge and washer/dryer and pull out some pretty ugly dust bunnies. It would be great if it fit on one of my reg vacs with stronger suction though. And it was very reasonably priced so not worth sending back.

Thank Goodness for this tool
My dryer wasn't drying clothes the way it used to and I was really upset because the machine is only 4 years old. Mind you I clean the lint filter with each cycle, so I was even more confused as to why clothes were still slightly damp. I looked in the dryer with a flashlight and noticed the screen still looked like there was some link clogging the screen, lint not removed when the screen was pulled out of the machine.I have a dryer screen that comes out of the top of my dryer and I researched that lint lizard. I was going to get the much talked about "lint lizard" attachment for my vac, but after checking it out user reviews youtube, I quickly changed my mind. It seems the "lint lizard" doesn't always work well on a machine with a pull out screen located at the top of the machine. Anyway, saw this beauty on Amazon, read the reviews and gave it a chance. I attached this flexible tube to my vac hose, turned it on, and away it went. It sucked up lint from the screen and started pulling lint from the bottom too. Wa La! my dryer is working to fully capacity again.

So I imagine this would get quite useful. But Actually when I received it
I have 2 birds, so feathers get everywhere underneath couches and shelves and every type of furniture you can think of. So I imagine this would get quite useful. But Actually when I received it, it did not fit in my dirtdevil vaccuum. I had to cut off the ring at the end to fit it in. After the initial frustration, it works quite well and slips under things easily. I just wish I have more control of the end and have it point down somehow (imagine me slipping it all the way in the couch, I have no way to bend the end point... if only there is a way)

Good attachment for vacuuming under fridge and dryer lint
Good vacuum tool to get under or reach around tight spaces. Sturdy and flexible. 24" length gives sufficient reach for most applications. Have used to remove lint from dryer and under fridge.Note: This attaches to standard 32mm end such as Kenmore vacuums. This does not fit 35mm ends on German Miele and similar vacuums. You will need a different diameter tool or buy additional adaptor.

Fits under stove and fridge and small places to suck hiding dust bunnys
This is a necessary addition to everyone's home cleaning kit. Well made. Fits under stove and fridge and small places to suck hiding dust bunnys. Wish I had bought this years ago. Makes weekly cleaning easier.So it's thick and rubbery, rather than thin brittle plastic. Easy to bend into tight places. (Just enough flex).

Handy crevice tool!
Works just as expected. It is made in 3 sections, the center being flexible rubber. Has a hard plastice tip and the vacuum cleaner hose end is also hard plastic. Very handy for tight places. May not fit all vacuum hoses as some have different size, but with a little ingenuity (or ducttape) a person can make it work.

Flexible and sturdy. Bought to vacuum out dryer lint
As described. Flexible and sturdy. Bought to vacuum out dryer lint. Managed to make it work, but is a little wider than I had hoped. Tip is solid plastic and not flexible, but is able to be pulled off.
