A good idea is just inferior to plastic parts.

This is a great design, they only used cheap plastic for the basket so it broke on the second attempt to take it off. I cleared the recycle bin and made some changes. I will try to cast it in copper/brass at a local jeweler for a more durable and functional product. The stopper works great as a stopper without a basket.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Works great for kitchen and bathroom plumbing

I bought a home that was missing a drain cap in the guest bathroom. I bought one of those cheap screens that bend to fit. It worked well but didn't look that good. This one fits perfectly and looks like it was part of the original stock. Very clean looking and easy enough to remove and clean hair/dirt. Highly recommended if you need to replace an old or missing one.

Pros
  • Positive Only
Cons
  • In Progress

Can't delete - it just blocks the drain

At first I thought it was great. A little fiddly to assemble but looks like it was worth it. Well, it's impossible to clean and fills up very quickly. When it's full, the water doesn't go away, and then everyone complains. It is difficult to pull out, difficult to remove hair, etc., and difficult to put back. I got tired of blocking water so I just removed it. Looking for another brand/solution. It's not worth that much money!

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

Super easy to install and works great.

So I don't know why so many people are having trouble figuring this out. It has instructions if you need them, but if you just look at the parts description you can basically figure it out. Unscrew your old one, put an appropriately sized screw in the bottom of this one, and screw it back in. They have an attached "Tightening Tool". Just put it on, tighten it and you're done. EASY! The other thing I keep reading is that people can get water to drain because they don't know how to get it up…

Pros
  • I have my fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of things

There is not enough drainage from the basket, I found an alternative.

I really liked this DrainBuddy bath product because I wanted a siphon and drain plug for my bathtub in one. The metal chrome cover felt expensive and solid. The concept is good except for the plastic basket to collect the hair. It drained slower than if I had a flat strainer over the drain, which defeats the purpose as each hair makes it drain even slower. Standing in a pool of water during and after showering. Too bad it couldn't imitate the TubShroom which uses a pillar shaped rubber basket…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never
