"After struggling with slow drains in my kitchen sink and washing machine, I decided to try the POPULO 20V Cordless Electric Drain Auger. It worked like magic! I cleared the clogs faster than I could call a plumber. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the ability to advance and retreat the snake makes it a game changer. I highly recommend it!"

"I don't usually write reviews, but this device is worth it. The compact design and included battery made it easy to clean my kitchen drain multiple times without losing power. I was impressed with the extra touches like gloves that fit my large hands. Overall, it was a great purchase, and I’m excited to see what other products this brand offers."

"I was surprised how well this worked for my drains. It’s definitely worth it!"

"This machine cleared my main sewer line issue 60 feet down. I did experience some cable jamming, but it was manageable with practice."

"It took out a very hard clog in the wastewater system, and I’m planning to tackle roots this spring."

"I've been dealing with a slow shower drain for ages. After multiple plumber visits, I decided to try this tool myself. In just 15-20 minutes, I was amazed at how quickly the water drained afterward. The difference is night and day! I really wonder why I didn't do this sooner."

"This was my first experience using a drain snake auger. I chose this one for its mix of price and features. I really appreciated the well-designed grip, which made it easier to handle, especially with wet gloves. I removed a massive hair clog on my first try and was thrilled with how well it performed."

"I was really disappointed with the MEISTERFAKTUR Drain Snake 4.0. It broke during my first use, and the auto-feeding mechanism jammed, making things worse. The materials felt cheap, and I couldn’t even trust it to last beyond one attempt. I'd recommend looking for a more reliable option."

"I purchased this tool to unclog my bathroom sink. It was well made and incredibly easy to use. I managed to remove the nasty clog and had my drain working like new in just 20 minutes after opening the box. I'm very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it!"

"Our bathroom sink was clogged, and I was worried about the costs of a plumber. I decided to give this tool a try, and thankfully, it worked! It unclogged my sink, and the added drill option made the process very simple. Plus, the gloves included saved me a trip to the store. Must buy!"

"I've been dealing with a sink that kept backing up despite using drain cleaner multiple times. After removing the p-trap, I still couldn't find the issue. I ordered this auger with overnight shipping, and while it didn't navigate a 90-degree bend in my pipes, I believe it’s a solid tool for typical clogs. It feels like it can last for years with regular use. Overall, a good addition to any home."

"I used this machine to unclog an epic clog that took me about 10 hours, but it got the job done. I would definitely recommend buying this machine as it has already saved me about $1,000 or more, meaning it's worth the asking price."

"When my restaurant faced a major stoppage in the sewer main, I found the Vevor auger on Amazon. Although the clogged sewer pipe was ultimately cleaned by the city, the foreman advised me against using an auger underground due to the high costs of retrieval if it got stuck. I’ll stick to using smaller ones inside the building and avoid the main sewer lines in the future."

"After trying several drain cleaners and making things worse, I ordered this unit which arrived the next day. It took me just 10 minutes to assemble and only 5 minutes to unclog my floor drain. I chose the 3/8" model because my plumber couldn’t maneuver his snake in the past. I believe it will pay for itself if I use it just twice!"

"I was amazed at how well this worked. It cleared my thick curly hair from the shower drain effortlessly! Initially, I had my doubts due to its appearance, but it proved me wrong. I will never use another product!"

"I decided to try this when my bathroom sink was running slow. It easily removed the hair blocking the drain and saved me money on a plumber. I found it very user-friendly!"

"After years of struggling with a clogged bathtub, I finally tried this product. In under 2 minutes, I resolved the issue! It’s definitely a better option than using harsh chemicals."

"This machine worked like a dream. Minimal assembly was required, although I initially missed the instructions for the main attachment. After figuring it out, I cleared my bathroom drain in 30 minutes. I’ve spent over $800 on plumbers for this issue in the past, and now I wish I had purchased this sooner!"

"I bought this machine last year, and after a recent surgery, my drain clogged. I thought I'd give it a shot, and with no effort, I had my drain clean in no time. Awesome machine!"

"The machine is powerful enough for the job, but I found the narrow wheelbase frustrating as it tipped over while moving it. Also, some of the drain-clearing tools broke inside the sewer line, which created extra work for me. Unfortunately, the cable snapped after minimal use, which was disappointing."

"I purchased this as a replacement for my Ridgid snake, which I regretted selling. While it’s not quite on the same level as Ridgid, it’s sturdy enough for most homeowners and does a great job with occasional maintenance work. I used it to clear a 4-inch storm drain, and I was pleased with its performance. Overall, it offers good value for the money."

"After setting up the sewer snake for the first time to tackle a drainage issue in my kitchen, I found that the cable got stuck at about 10 feet and wouldn’t budge. Unfortunately, the new sewer snake didn’t work, and I ended up having to rent one from Home Depot. I wouldn’t recommend this product unless you don’t mind dealing with the hassle."

"I think this little machine is heavier than it looks, which I take as a good sign. It's compact and fits easily in my garage. I got it to avoid paying a plumber for future clogs. Ideally, I hope to never need it, but as the saying goes, “it’s better to have it and not need it.” It arrived quickly and was reasonably priced, making it a great addition to my tool collection."

"I had a partially clogged drain that filled up quickly. After hooking this up to my drill, I was able to clear it in just about five minutes. The drain is working perfectly now, and if I need to go back in, I can easily do so."

"My RIDGID snake saved me from spending a fortune on a plumber. After using it on my bathroom sink, it drained perfectly! I had to snake the shower as well, and I was really impressed with how well it worked. This tool is definitely well made and easy to use!"

"While this unit is more compact than previous models I've tried, it's a bit heavy and the lever system for advancing the coil feels clunky. However, using the drill attachment has made it much more manageable. I hope to get more comfortable with it over time."

"I bought this after a bad experience with a manual snake and a Harbor Freight model that didn't work. This one was much more intuitive and it was great for the job. Easy to use and seems like a great value for the price."

"I unclogged my kitchen drain with this tool. Paid for itself with the first use! It arrived the same day, charged for only 30 minutes, and it worked like a champ. Just a tip: wear heavy-duty gloves and lay out a few towels because what you pull out can be pretty nasty."

"This drain auger exceeded my expectations. Very nice compact power auger! I received it on Thursday and cleared two sink drains on Friday. One was a deep clog and this auger cleared it flawlessly. Easy instructions and operation, plus it comes with a five-year warranty!"
