This review is from: Ontel Turbo Snake (Kitchen)

I don't normally write reviews but I felt I had to warn other consumers. The velcroe tip is not securely attached. It is just sticky backed and stuck on at the end of the snake. IT CAME OFF IN MY DRAIN!!!!!!! I should have known better. I could see it was not on there well. But I thought I would give it a shot anyway. Luckily it came off near the top of my drain and I was able to pluck it out. Needless to say the whole thing then went in the trash. Not worth the return shipping. I bought this product based on the positive reviews. I wanted to get a more accurate review out there to help warn future consumers of this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of These TV Products Actually Worked!!, February 23, 2010

I had a slow moving drain in the bathtub and I tried the liquid products, but they couldn't make the drain flow any faster.

So many times these As Seen on TV products are complete garbage. I said for under $10, I would give this a try and holy christmas, it picked up hair and some other gunk that was clogging the drain and the drain is now working better than ever. It did it really fast. Just give it a slight twist. The wire inside the Turbo Snake is flexible, but I am not sure on how durable it is since I have only used it once.

The gunk that it will pick up will be a little gross and it could splash your eyes so use a little caution. The gunk is also tough to get off of the gripper for the Turbo Snake. You may want to wear rubber gloves, if that grosses you out. Its main job is to clear out any hair, paper products or anything else that we get stuck down on our drain pipes. It will not cure any type of serious pipe issues. You get one for sinks and one for the bathtub and they give you a nice hook to put it on the inside of your cabinet door so it is easy to find should this happen again.

I would recommend buying it either on Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond with a coupon because if you buy direct from the TV, they will overcharge you for shipping. Give it a try, and I am giving it 5 stars, basically because I went to Lowe's and the Home Depot and they did not have it and only had the professional grade type and I am not a professional at anything.

This product removers hair balls from the elbow joint of sink drains. The directions say to insert and twist, I twisted so much it almost broke off,it did peel of the plastic coating...so be careful. It did remove a hair ball but I threw that one away after one use, I have a second one I will use but with less "twist". It worked...
