 Ignore the silly hype, this works just fine though October 29, 2009

"So good it's patented." Whatever, this is one of those silly "as seen on tv" items that actually works. It's a simple but effective drain sweeper. Works well and is reasonably inexpensive. What's not to like?

 Worked Great August 7, 2008

Drain Sweep worked really great. I was using liquid drain openers in my bath tub, but they don't help much if hair/debris is stuck to the walls of the drain pipe. The Drain Sweep collected the debris from the walls of the drain pipe and pulled everything out. At one point Drain Sweep was stuck and I had to move it forward / backward and sideways and pull it out with force. Good product.
 Lightweight Product August 8, 2010
AbsolutePerfectionist (Cheyenne WY)
I was somewhat disappointed with this product. During use, even with the trigger retracted, each time I extracted the tool from the lavatory drain pipe (1-1/2" dia.) at least one of the expanded bows was collapsed and had to be forced back into position. I think the product is too lightweight for this application; even though the product description clearly advocates this type of application. I was eventually successful in opening the drain, but I am not convinced that the product was very effective.
 Too Wide to Get Into Drain February 4, 2010

This tool proved to be too fat to get past the permanent metal cross-hatching in my kitchen sink's drain. Although the Sweep is much more slender than the average plumber's snake, it was not slender enough to make it past this impediment.
I then tried it out on my bathroom sink. I have an older style of drain stopper here. This metal stopper plug can be removed. However its raising and lowering motion is controlled by a horizontal bar that is nested a few inches below the drain opening. I was afraid the Sweep once again wouldn't be able to make it past such an impediment. However it did. But this time, the existence of this horizontal bar circumscribed the movement of the Sweep snake to such an extent that I wasn't able to maneuver it into or past the P-trap of the pipe under my sink. Therefore once again, the tool proved useless.
The instructions on the Sweep's package say that if one has this problem gaining access - one should disassemble the pipe at the P-trap and work from there. But that's exactly why I bought this tool - to AVOID having to disassemble and then re-solder pipe!
Also, the handle of the Sweep is made of rather flimsy plastic and arrived partially broken. The breakage did not materially affect the operation of the unit, so I'll probably keep it and find some use for this tool someday. But I cannot recommend it. Before you buy it, check to make absolutely sure that your drain will allow access to a snake with a girth actually somewhat over 3/8 of an inch.
