Review on 2PCS Neodrain Hair & Debris Strainer - Fits Shower Drain, Trap, Catcher W/ Lifting Hook by Brian West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better draining than regular strainer

I bought this to replace the stock strainer that came with my linear drain. What makes this different and better are the oval side holes, vs the circular side holes that are on my stock strainer. The oval holes are bigger and allow water to flow through better, and are less prone to clogging from hair, lint, sock fuzz, etc. The stock strainer was clogging every few days, but this strainer goes a week or so between cleanings. If you have a strainer with just circular holes and it's clogging frequently, you'll appreciate how much less maintenance this strainer requires. FYI I removed the center bar in my original strainer (using a small grinding wheel) but left the tabs on the ends. This made it easier to clean the strainer while still keeping it from falling through the drain pipe. I haven't done that with this strainer yet but may do so if cleaning becomes tedious.

Pros
  • I have these in one shower. I wish they would make them in different sizes.
Cons
  • Strainer can scratch and damage shower surfaces, leading to costly repairs
