I bought this to use as an emergency drain for our washing machine alcove. Seems like it will be fine for that. Did run into some problems with it that I did not have with the much more expensive linear drain for our shower. First of all, the outlet is small at 1 7/8 inch OD and fits INSIDE a standard 2" drain pipe. As it is just an emergency drain this is how I plumbed it, but if you wanted to use it in a shower I think the way to go would be a 1 1/2" to 2" no hub coupling. Secondly, there is no way to attach the drain to a plywood subfloor. The directions are for installation into a mortar bed over concrete. I routed out a slot for it into our subfloor and will use thin set mortar to hold it in place. Again, ok for an emergency drain but maybe not for one that would be walked on and used everyday. Finally, there is no way to adjust the height of the grate. Therefore, careful consideration of the final floor height is needed before installation.
More positive comments: Well constructed with good slope of the drain foor toward outlet. Grate comes covered with a protective film.
