Serves its purpose if only it would stay.

I bought this because we are new homeowners and if we clogged the drain it would be a crisis because we are not that comfortable. I saw in a video that it sticks to the floor in the shower and stays in place, the product itself is said to fit the shower stall drain "well". However! We didn't have that, I'd say it's hovering over our drain. If I just tap/step on it while showering, that suction cup disappears and whatever was collected goes straight down the drain. When I'm not stepping on himโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Expensive

Works great and easy to clean!

Look if you're a woman with long hair and you wash it your hair will go down the drain I don't care who you are. After having to flush the drain for the 100th time, I tried different products to try and help. Nothing helped, mainly because the drain plugs stopped the hair, but they got dirty and difficult to clean. I'm talking about a serious gag factor in cleaning. :( Not so with this one! I lie well on top of the drain, close it off completely but still lets a lot of water through. It's soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • No instructions

Seems to work but doesn't hold up well

Fits our standard shower drain. It really fits perfectly. It doesn't move on its own, but if I touch it lightly in the shower, it moves. I solved this problem by not using the drain when showering. So far it seems to stop most hair from going down the original drain. When I step on the center, the shape changes from convex (slightly protruding like a rounded dome) to concave (bulging in the middle, forming a very flat bowl). This is distracting as I then have to lift the lid and reshape itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Out of style

but this product is really useless and potentially dangerous

I don't often leave negative reviews, but this product is really useless and potentially dangerous. First, if you don't have a drain in the corner of the shower, you're going to step on it, kick it, bump into it, and keep moving it around. Second, if you step on it and there is enough water in the shower (and there will be water because it restricts the flow of water into the sewer), it will slip, which is dangerous. Third, unless your shower is absolutely, 100% perfectly flat, water and hairโ€ฆ

Pros
  • everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expandable

great fit and functionality

It seems like those who provided negative feedback on this product had one of two issues: it floated or blocked the drain. I have a walk in shower and use this drain cover and am very glad I found it. I measured my sink and as you can see the lid fits PERFECTLY. It doesn't have to suck, just sit down and grab your hair. It will only float if the water is not properly drained. You should not have a level of water in the tub or on the shower floor for it to swim on. If you do, you either have aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Compatibility

Doesn't catch hair that easily gets caught on the old drain cap

The old drain cap worked fine for about 19 years and then finally broke. After the shower there is always a few or many hairs on it, depending on which of us showered. Now? We're lucky that this oxo cover catches 1-2 hairs in the shower. Why? I've been looking at it closely for a week, and the hair is wandering - under the drain cap. So tried it on other 2 souls. Same, the hair tangled very little or not at all. Even if you have grouted tile, this drain cap will NOT sit flush and hair willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Some bugs

Updated Best Kitchen & Bathroom Fixtures Review

2nd update: While I really like this, it just stays in place by applying a little bead of aquarium sealer or waterproof sealer around the bottom . It successfully kept all the hair from getting underneath after I turned it upside down (see 1st review) but of course nothing keeps it in place that much. If I add a thin ring of sealant, I twist it back to how it should be and I suspect that drain strainer will stop moving and there won't be any more problems. I really love how flat and smooth itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • It's ok
