Review on Stainless Steel White Toilet Brush with Caddy: simplehuman's Effective Cleaning Solution by Elizabeth Glover

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great plunger not working with my new toilet

benefits. The stand and magnet holder work very well allowing the plunger to drain when removed. The flat top of the handle makes it easy to apply a good squeeze. - The rubber cap and flange are the right weight and flexibility without being too heavy to use or too soft to attach. - It combines good looks with actual utility. Cons: This classic flanged plunger shape just doesn't fit a modern toilet drain - it actually blocks the drain. - Using a magnetic clasp requires care and practice. I bought this in 2014 and it has worked "okay" with an old toilet and a new one, but on my newest toilet the bottom flange is actually blocking the drain so it's practically useless. I'm old enough to remember when this style of flanged piston started to replace the standard cup piston. The flange helps with older round flush toilets. But now I have a toilet with a rectangular opening and an almost horizontal opening to the siphon. After two very frustrating days of diving I finally sat back and compared how the bottom flange fits into the drain hole and found that the flange actually just blocks that hole so I waste a lot of energy just stirring the water into a bowl. Good drum turbulence but no effect on clogging. I still gave 3 stars because that magnetic clip on the handle works really well. A holder that keeps the plunger handy without seeing it. If the tray needs cleaning, it's easy. I have a tiny bathroom and it fits nicely next to the toilet. The design of the handle with an almost flat surface at the end allows for good pressing even with weak hands. Now I'm trying to find a new one with the same grip on a plain old fashioned cup plunger. My search keeps bringing this up so I figured I'd revisit it.

Pros
  • toilet brushes and holder
Cons
  • small items
