Review on Say Goodbye to Clogged Drains with StopShroom STBLU232 Universal Stopper Plug Cover – Aqua by Nick Esquibel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Product works initially but is expensive, likely for large drains

This product is great if your sink or bathtub has no plug or the plug is broken (as in my case). Thanks to this I can now wash things by hand in the sink. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I think it's a bit more expensive than it is and I haven't tested its durability so I can't say how long it will last. It's quite large so should fit any sink, and it's pretty easy to use (you just slide it over the sink and turn on the water and at the end you "close" the suction and prevent water from getting in) . It is not as flexible/thin as other products as it has a hard plastic inside which maintains the overall shape of the dome unlike others which are all rubber and can collapse under water. That plastic on the inside, rubberized on the outside probably makes the product more durable and able to hold its shape over time, but I haven't used it often enough to report this. I've just tried this on a sink that has a relatively small drain compared to the size of this "Stop Mushroom" and although at first it works to block the drain and keep water in the sink as it's not really around sucked up around the sink, the water slowly drains under the product and I was back at an empty sink in about 30 minutes. This product will likely work better for covering a larger plum or one with another hair catching product since the product has a raised inner dome. I'm disappointed it doesn't last more than 5-10 minutes in my sink as this product was quite expensive for what it is. I would love to use it and the plastic and rubber construction is probably more durable than others. I still feel the price was a little high for what it is but I couldn't find a similar product in stock at a lower price at the time so I bought this one. The color is nice too (I bought turquoise) which is a bonus.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties
