Drain Cleaning Machine

I bought 50 feet 3/8 inch unit exactly 2 years ago. Among all other size choices this is the only one owned and sold by Amazon, one of the two reasons I picked this option as Amazon offered me Amazon Monthly Payment as one of the many installments payment options. There is a simple 0 cost with Amazon Monthly Payment, a kind of no brainer. A big reason for me to give a five star is its actual test today. My house lot is plat. The sewage pipe coming out of the house into the septic tank does not have much slope so it becomes a common section to get clogged over time. I used to use a hand drill driven stationary drain cleaner and it did get the job done but in a very messy way. I had to use hands holding the cable to guide it and retract it manually. The cable got twisted easily. As a home owner I became a seasoned drain cleaner as I had to unclog the pipe quite regularly. I bought this machine in a hope to make the job easier. This morning I heard bubbling noise in my up stair toilet, a clear sign of trapped air in the sewage line. I put this machine in use. Without instruction manual (being sitting there for two years) I was able to figure out the operation by coming back to the Amazon page watching product videos. The result was amazingly easy and clean. I had my glovers on but I didn't have to touch the cable at all. The machine worked its way into the clogged pipe slowly and surely, unclogging the pipe in a matter of minutes. Rewinding the cable was easy without any touches to the cable. The job site is back to clean state. The handle on the front serves as a convenient clutch to change between forward and backward without stopping the motor. In terms of power and size, this machine is adequate to my single house with a 4 inch PVC pipe about 50 feet long. I am not aware of any difficulty moving it due to weight as it has two wheels with a pushing handle, easy to move around. As a home owner I am very happy with this machine.

We have a 100 yr old house and have had problems with our basement laundry room floor drain in our laundry room over the many years we've had the house. The laundry room floor drain connects directly to the main sewer line. Over the years, we've had to run a snake through the line on average of 2X per year when it starts to run slow. This last time it backed up, we used a 25ft power auger on it and it barely cleaned the line. Decided to purchase this one with the 75ft cable after watching some YouTube reviews. Easy assembly but very heavy unit. Ran all 75ft through the line a couple of time and it cleared the line lickety split. Drain now runs and works like new. Cost was well worth it and is saved me from having to hire a plumber. Paid for itself. I'm sure that I'll have to use it again somewhere down the road. So from here on out, it's just a simple matter of running it through the line. Of note, I did check out a similar unit at harbor Freight that was over $100.00 more than this one. This unit looks to be a little bit heavier built than the one at Harbor Freight and $100.00 less. If you have an old house like we do and periodically need to clear a line, I highly reccommend you purchase this.

I would give 0 stars if possible. After 1st use the cable kinked going back into the drum (note unit is only 6 months old and used one time, and yes I have used power snakes before, I am a professional remodeler but have only used this for my home personal use). Contacted customer support, which you can only do by email, the phone number listed does not work (disconnected or no ring just beeps). Unit is only 6 months old. After 3 weeks of waiting for a response contacted on 1/23/25 (still in limbo, once a week I get the same response saying they are working on a solution) and now was told today 2/2/25 it's a holiday so I need to wait longer for someone to figure it out (it's simple, just send me a new cable under warranty, (by the way the first small cutter tip I used also broke in the 4 inch drain on first use but at this point I doubt I'll get that replaced either). I suggest never buy from vevor, stay with a name brand product like Ridgid, harbor freight or an American company that cares about it's customers and will honor their warranty and also has a phone number that works. They don't respond to warranty issues and drag out the process. I had to purchase a new cable so I could use the machine on another drain clog at my home (more money spent). Had I known in advance I would have spent more up front and bought a quality name brand unit. My suggestion is to stay away from ALL vevor products unless you want to waste money and have headaches if and when the product fails. Here is the latest response I got today 2/2/25.... Dear customer, Thanks for your waiting. We are sorry for this inconvenience. As it is Spring Festival, the technicians are on holiday We will press him to provide a solution as soon as possible If you have any questions,please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Amy Customer support

Die Lieferung war unvollständig seit Wochen warte ich auf versprochene Teile, es tut sich nichts. Die Reklamationsabwicklung mit der Firma ist extrem aufwendig.

great unit small but dose the job

Not fit for use in a 3 or 4 inch drain., Not strong enough. After sale service was despicable. I would avoid this company at all costs.

Efficace e semplice da usare

Floor drain was 95% plugged for days..it took several hours to drain a laundry tub after a load of wash.. tried several drain cleaners..just made it 100% plugged..ordered unit yesterday and it arrived today..took ten minutes to assemble..very simple..and then 5 minutes to unclog drain!..I ordered the 3/8" as the last time the floor drain plugged the plumber couldn't make the turn with his snake..likely to large..took days for me to finally get it working..this is simple to use and worked perfectly..will pay for itself if I only use it twice..strongly recommend getting auto feed unit like this one over a manual feed..well worth the extra dollars in my non-professional opinion!
