I ordered this auger because it was fairly inexpensive so I figured I’d take a shot didn’t expect much from it but this thing really puts in work I had a clogged bathtub. I put the snake in the pipe and it had enough power to run through the muck in the pipes also has 25 of cable I only went down about ten foot before the water started to drain. I hit the reverse mode on it pulled it back up and a glob of hair came with it very impressed with this item.
kevin Segulin –
great tool it is a little heavy but do able. Paid a plumber 224.00 dollars to clean out one sink and I bought this tool and did the rest and it flows better than the one the plumber did.
RPS –
Compact yet powerful enough to clear the clog. I needed almost all of the 25′ length to reach the clog. It did the job for way less than a single call for a plumber. Total job was done in less than an hour including disassembling drain, setting up protection, clearing clog, reassembling and clean-up.

Works really well compared to manual rooter. Takes a bit of time to get familiar with controls. Saves a lot of time and money.

Worked for just what I needed and not too expensive

Great product for drain cleaning for the price.
Amazon Customer –
worked wonderfully and is cordless, powerful, easy to use and works as advertised. clean up easy and retracts back in place smoothly. Nothing else worked but this took care of sink clog in 5 minutes. Suggest to clear pipe with full length of 25 feet. Paid for itself in 1 clog.

After my toddler dumped the contents of my trash can into my toilet, our manual snake just didn¡¯t cut it (couldn¡¯t even feed the thing past the s curve). 30 minutes of charging the battery and 30 minutes of use and I have a usable toilet again! It was so easy! I did scratch the porcelain a little on the toilet, but mostly that was user error, having never used one of these.
george w. –
Hope not to use it
Michael Steiner –
Havent got to use the item yet but it seems like a powerful drain cleaner for what it is. Easily fits your hands for comfort. Cant wait to go to use it
Brian P Brown –
Handy cordless drain snake. Directions in the manual are backwards from the way the controls operate, other than that, it works good.
Miss T –
It’s just to short to do any good for me.
Sandra Jeffers –
So I¡¯ve tried draino and liquid fire, nothing worked. But the populo auger tore right thru it no questions asked. I was surprised how much power this little puppy packed. When I hit the clog I felt it big down just a touch then it ripped right thru it and everything was back moving like I¡¯d expect it to be. I had a small problem with the battery and emailed populo they immediately shipped me out a new battery at no additional cost. Populo makes really good tools in general but I¡¯ve been amazed with the drain cleaner.
madeline –
Brilliant. Cleared my drain in 2 minutes. Great value.

This thing saved me hundreds of dollars. Works so easy and priced good!!

I watched several videos on how to use this on a clogged bathtub, so I was ready as soon as it arrived. I charged the battery, unscrewed the overflow cover and ran the snake down the drain. 5 minutes later, the drain was running faster than ever. Great product that¡¯s easy to use and worth the money.
maddogmark –
Used the next next day after receiving, on drain at a hotel and worked perfectly. The auto feed is great and retraction, battery seems to last a good while.

Muy buen producto!
Lee A. –
Worth spending the money than doing it manually especially when bending down for long periods to snake the drain. It’s just simple and the line just goes out forward or reverse at the press of a button.
Amazon Customer –
This thing is well worth the money. I had drain problems for years.. so instead of paying a plumber for a visit.. I decided to take a chance to see if this would work.. After a full charge.. I used it in my tub.. and to my surprise.. it worked great.. not only it unclogged my drain.. it took out a drain fitting that originally was broken off years ago and it dragged it out from the pipe..the spring loaded valve linkage.. I can’t believe it? I even had a plumber said that I needed to take the entire tub out to get this piece out of there.. fortunately this tool did the job and I can’t be more happy.. definitely would recommend to a friend… It work! And for the money.. you can’t beat it.. it paid for itself.. thanks for making a working product!
Good Buy’s –
This is a great home tool in a great package that is reasonably priced. Comes with a durable storage bag.
We regularly need our shower drain snaked at least twice a year at $100 per service call.
We purchased this tool and easily cleared our clogged shower drain within minutes. Could not have been easier! We used it on some slow draining bathroom sinks as well which removed a lot of hair and opened them back up 100%. Very easy to use and impressive results for under $100.
TIM LEONARD –
Very handy and does a good job on sink drains
Kindle Customers –
Works perfect. I have already used it 3 times which has easily paid for itself plus some. Very easy to use and much more efficient then a hand snake.
Amazon Customer –
Very nice Device will buy from the company again

This product directions was very easy to follow.

It did a wonderful job and cleaning out my pipes I didn’t have to hire a plumber and that was the best thing of all that I could do it myself
David Marxman –
As a former Journeyman plumber in the residential side of the plumbing trade, I can say this is perfect for any clog!
Amazon Customer –
Worked as it should have.
nora dankmyer –
My unit arrived fully charged and I cleaned 2 drains right out of the box.
Michael Hathaway –
Works great and I would buy it again.
Heather –
After having hand crank and?/or drill powered snakes last just a couple of uses I figured I’d spring for one of these since we’re locked down due to the corona virus issue. With a 100 year old house, I’ve gone through a few snakes of various qualities, rented power augers and called plumbers. So I think I’ll get my monies worth.
I searched Amazon and there seemed to be three brands that were made with the same tooling so I bought this one based on the lowest price.
What makes it work so much better than a hand crank/drill driven snake is the feed feature and the way you hold the device. No stopping to let out more length of the snake. When you press the trigger, the snake is fed out of the a body of auger and the trigger has a good touch on it so you can go fast or slow. Since you’re holding it with both hands, you can get it close to the drain/pipe opening, so no kinking at the start.
As I said, I have an old house with a couple of pesky sections of drain pipe that cause problems every few years. This one was in our bathroom sink. Now to be conservative, the clog I suspected was only 8′-10′ out. I did need to remove the P-trap to access the drain, If you’ve never done this before, make sure you have a bucket underneath everything to catch any water. I removed everything from storage and put dow some newspapers knowing that there would be at least a small mess to clean up.
The auger arrived in less than one day, which was a day faster than promised. I found the directions easy to understand, and the battery was fully charged. I took my time to get comfortable with the machine and practiced to get a feel for the feed rate and how fast the wired rotated. I recommend that anyone else do the same.
When I began to clear the drain, it was a cinch. I was able to get the auger just a couple of inches away from the opening to start. The LED light is a great feature as well and helped here. I chose to be slow and steady with my feed. Any slight binding and I put it in neutral to just spin for a minute, then proceeded. Two tricky bends and the clog (hair) was gone. I tried not to do much moving of the auger myself, rather I relied on the forward and reverse controls. I ran the snake out to nearly its full length just to make sure. 5 minutes at most. I took the auger outside and took a wet rag to the snake.I sprayed some silicone on it so that it would not rust while in storage.
Worked great but I hope I never need to use it again.
Amazon Customer –
Very easy handling. Sturdy construction and durable. Hopefully not going to get rusty.
tomacuse –
Instructions were easy to understand. I had a slow running drain and gave this a try. Runs clear after use! Well built tool, worth the money. The only issue that I ran into, was the reverse was not working at first. I had to pull back on the handle a few times to get it to engage.
sean Hyepock –
This thing is awsome and easy to use. Powerful little machine.
Mr.Banner –
This is a perfect for small to medium size clogs. 25ft cable should help with minor clogged drains…anything over that will require a rental or professional service
David Fischer –
The simplicity and ease of use makes this a must for any home. Paid for itself on its first use.
Robert J Stoodt –
Great tool
Yanker24 –
I love this product because everything is built into one solid unit .I work for a half hour with a manual one and couldn¡¯t get the drain unplugged, So I ordered this unit and within five minutes the water was drained out.
Robert Plant –
This power drain auger is very easy to use. It’s a complete package with everything you need. It saved me big buck because it cleared a clogged pipe an I didn’t need to call a professional drain company.
It’s very easy to use and I highly recommend it to anyone !
Bobby Mealer –
First of all this product was delivered on time or early. It features a durable design and a powerful 20 AMP battery. My thoughts were if it works one time its worth it because a plumber would charge 2 to 3 times the cost of this product. My plumber recommended another brand but when I looked at the price it was 2x more than this Populo. I asked him to check it out; he looked over the reviews and said it looks good to him and recommended me to purchase it. Therefore, I decided to purchase this product. Its easy to store.
Lajollaman –
Worked great! Every home needs one of these.
Pauline rickens –
Love it will definitely recommend
C. Mayer –
Was a very good product for the money.
Buddy Wosika –
Great little machine
Morgan Rose –
First time DIYer in terms of snaking the shower in our new house. Worked great for simple clog in 2¡± shower, pulled out hair and grime. Plumber:$180. This machine:$90. Already up $90. Read directions carefully and you¡¯ll be good to go. So long rip off plumbers!!
D.L. –
Easy to use and the battery last quite a long time; used it for 90 minutes, the battery still had about 2/3 of power
left. The only complaint is when retracting the cable and getting to the point of the last 3 to 4 feet of the cable,
you need to give it a little “stuff it in” type of action to get the cable to continue to be retracted.
Overall, this is a good product and would recommend it.
josue rodas –

FAYUSO –
This product is excellent. This machine work perfect, and my drain problem was gone in less than ten minutes.
Jason Brauer –
We have an old house with an old floor drain that backups more often than most. This tool will allow us to handle it ourselves rather than spend $160 each time the plumbing/drain company comes out.
Liller –
Kitchen sink was clogged and populo drain cleaner took care of it with no problems
Min –
The delivery came in two days, and turned out to be a blast! It is very easy to use and helped unclogged the gutters and downspouts of my house very quickly.
Highly recommend everyone to purchase and use this tool for your house usage!
Alexei White –
Overall works great. Carrying bag was a plus too.
Shahbaz Farnad –
Great product! Had two plumbers come out and each quoted $150-200 to fix my drain which was backed up. I bought the populo for $100 and it did the job perfectly and easily. Great investment!
Alex gomez –
It works amazing and the mechanics of it are amazing
Tetherwald –
After 4 failed Green Gobler treatments and countless wasted hours plunging a stopped-up bathroom sink, I decided to spring for this electric auger. My 65-year-old house has numerous plumbing problems, and I have to call a plumber to clear a line once or twice a year. Within 15 minutes this device cleared the blockage. I noticed it was taking a wrong turn and going UP the vent stack instead of down the first few tries. Using the nifty rotation direction switch, I was able to take the proper turn downwards, right behind the wall.
It’s already paid for itself, compared to a $130 plumber call. I expect I’ll still need the occasional main-line pro clean-out, but I should be able to clear most small jobs with this with ease.
victor Alejo –
I liked it’s lightweight and speed
Amazon Customer –
Pressure is great but the snake is too short need extension. But like it.
Mark Ellis –
I purchased this Electric Drain Snake Auger because I had a backed up kitchen sink that I could not clear with drain cleaners and hand snake. It was easy to use and cleared the clog very easily! Great cordless auger!
Luis M. Urena –
Buying this battery operating snake drain cleaner was important to me. The price was fair. It was more convenient and easy to use. I would recommend this product to any friend that wants a great product to unclog their bathtub and kitchen drain.
EV –
Traditional snakes are one of my pet peeves. It’s about time this thing was invented. It’s amazing! No more dreading clogged sinks and wasting many hours on them. Yes!

My washer drain was clogged again. It was very frustrating because every time I would run my washer the water would spill all over the floor because there was a blockage about 6 feet down. There’s a 90 degree curve in the pipe so I couldn’t just push a long rod down to unclog it. I paid a plumber $157 over a year ago to clear it. I tried to clear it this time by myself. Like the last time I used several different heavy duty drain cleaners from the hardware store. Nothing worked. I even tried a manual, turn it yourself snake but that didn’t work. After much research and a very difficult decision I purchased this Populo snake auger because it was an Amazon Choice and the price is very reasonable. It came with some flexible gloves which barely fit my small hands (I never used them) and a nice bag and instruction card and manual. After reading the instructions I gave it a try. It’s very well built, easy to use and powerful. Like the video showed the metal snake easily traveled through my pipe. It went down quite a ways and got stuck. I reversed it and it got unstuck. After a few minutes I rolled it back and tried my washer. It apparently cleared the clog in my drain because the water doesn’t overflow like before. If it does clog up I’ll just use this again. Mission accomplished. I’m so happy! 5 stars!

Worked like a charm!
Nature Lover –
This tool did a great job clearing my toilet plumbing pipe. It is very easy to use, had plenty of power, worked flawlessly. I ran the snake the full 25′ length down the plumbing pipe & retracted the snake fully, using it’s controls. The mechanism worked easily & effectively. For homeowners, I think this is a GREAT value for the money.

Nice product, easy to use.

Great price! Beat Harbor freight for same product by more than $50 & this one included 1 x 20v battery & charger + 1pair of utility gloves! HF sells same unit batt & charger not included & batt charget sold separately.
Hank M Bennett –
Product worked to fix our clog so we didnt have to call a plumber. Good enough for me!
Ash –
My toilet got backed up and used the regular snake with 6 feet reach which didn¡¯t take care of the issue therefore I ordered this from amazon which helped unblock it . It is very easy to use and comes with its own bag and keeps things tidy and clean
David E. Ziel –
Worked like a charm. Does the job well. I do recommend. This is a very do it yourself device. Much better than hiring a plumber.
dxh –
Like many others who’ve reviewed this item, I was tired of calling the local plumber once a year to unclog the kitchen line that leads to the sewer. There’s an access vent in the garage of our old house and it would gurgle for a few days, then start to puddle. The pipe is probably clogged with 60+ years of fat and grease and it doesn’t take much to close it up. I was a bit apprehensive about using this tool – would it extend through our pipes, is it long enough and strong enough to clear the debris? I tackled the job this morning and after 15 minutes the line was clean again (tested by running the kitchen faucet). My local plumber charges about $200 for a simple drain clean – this tool has paid for itself after just one use! Now I’m going to run it preventatively once a month to keep those old pipes clean.
Amazon delivered this a day early, barely 24 hours after I bought it. Another great experience.
Lorenzo –
Took care of a drain problem, that two separate plumbers couldn’t seem to clear.
hp –
Very easy to use and solid device. The snake length is perfect, and in a few minutes it cleared a stubborn bathtub clog that was pretty far down the pipe. Worked like a charm, plenty of power, and very clear and concise instructions. More than paid for itself after the first use compared to a plumber¡¯s bill for the same work (!) Bag and gloves are a bonus! Highly recommended.
A. Hoover –
Worked good
Amazon Customer –
Don¡¯t waste your money on a plumber. For the money it is perfect. Great design, easy to use, works like a charm.
Wei Ding –
The drain in our bathroom shower had been slow for quite a while. We tried to clean it with liquid plumber and a manual drain snake for many times without much improvement. We used this electric instrument and had very successful experience in the first try. It’s very easy to use, the cable could enter and extend in the drain smoothly, it must reached a super long distance and pulled out quite a lot mess that could not be achieved with manual snake cable. Now the drain problem was finally solved. Worth every penny of it! Couldn’t be more happier with the result.

This works great at clearing drain. Feed the line in and out smoothly. The only issue I have with mine is the battery life is crazy short and had to recharge in a very short amount of time
Vince Williams –
This auger was very easy to use and exceeded my expectations. After two tries of running the auger about 8-10 feet inside the toilet it was uncloged. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to save money and not hire a plumber.
Angel S –
Very handy. Lightweight and easy to use under kitchen sinks as well as bathrooms. Battery also lasts long between charging cycles.

This product is Awesome! I basically felt like a professional when using. I even made $50 helping out my neighbor. It¡¯s powerful and easy to use. This thing has saved me hundreds of dollars, and will probably save me more in the future.

Good snake for the price
Denis C. Labine –
This tool is super easy to use. It goes forward and retract by simply selecting the direction with the lever. I¡¯ve already snaked 5 toilets, 1 kitchen sink and 3 bathroom sinks in 60 minutes! My plumber wanted $49 per use so saved a bundle. The battery is 20V so it lasts a long time.
Phil Miller –
Works great, way easier to use than I was thinking. Light and compact with a great auto feed and retract feature.

Was constantly having clogging issues in my kitchen sink and I was tired of asking for help/having to rent something so I bought this and was able to use it myself!!!!! Got my sink unclogged in about 20 minutes. I’ve only used it once, but that’s a great thing lol. I love how well it’s packaged,l…comes with convenient bag, gloves and easy to read instructions.

I have been using a hand crank snake for my not so new house…. the variable speed is key. I was able to snake out my shower and my washing machine drain. The only drawback is if you have to use it over your head is does weigh 8lbs. But just plan and allow the variable speed to guide the snake down the pipes… power is beyond ample… worked great.

It works, easy to use, and will save me $100 every 6months for a plumber.
LisaEastCoastGurl –
Amazing little tool. Very powerful and it went through the muck in my sink pipes. It is easy to retract and I like hearing it clean through the messy stuck on greese in my pipes. As a child my dad always used a snake to clean the pipes and know I know why! It is rechargeable and has it’s own carrying case that makes it easy to put it away. If you need a powerful snake this will do the job.
ddlj81 –
Just note that the head is big to fit some faucet wash basin drains. However, underneath the basin, for hard clogs, if you open the drain and use this, it works amazingly. My kids had clogged the drain with mud and this was a savior.

After buying cheaper snakes at the local home improvement store that always seem to bend and break after one use. This snake surprised us by unclogging a tough blockage with minimal amount of effort.
Very happy with the carrying case to keep everything in one place.

My mom’s tub was clogged up, and she was going to give in and call a plumber, because the chemical liquid drain cleaners didn’t work. My father passed away in April from the coronavirus, so all my mom has now are us three daughters to help her out with things like this. My dad would have done this job, and my mom wouldn’t have any problems. But I wanted to help her so I searched around and found this. It was easy to use, and it wasn’t super heavy for me. It worked like a charm.
andrew –
This thing did better than roto rooter clearing a clog in my slop sink – roto rooter charged me $509 and they had to come back under the warrantee. It clogged again and I bought this thing and it worked. Just add enzymes to help things along

Only use it once and did it’s job
Katie Manetta –
Great item!

Does a good job but if you feed it down your toilet it will scratch your porcelain.
David W Henderson –
This power drain snake works quite well, I have used it several times already and it quickly and efficiently removed the clogs, saving me a ton of potential plumber fees. It more than paid for itself the first time I used it. It looks exactly like several other more expensive power snakes so I assumed they were all the same with different labels. I chose this one because it had a better price and it did not disappoint.

I was overwhelmed by the ease of use and effectiveness of this drain tool. Had been fighting a clog for months. This solved the problem in about 20 minutes. Worked as described and easy cleanup.
Haoyu Zha –
Really liked this tool. Accidentally threw non-flushable wipes down toilet. Plumber was asking for $300 plus to come in. I bought this tool instead, and it worked like a charm.
DB –
I’ve been fighting a problem area (drain from laundry and kitchen) in our basement for 15 years, but have managed to barely survive using a hand crank auger. Now I can run this unit the full 25 feet and have the battery work the snake for extra time as long as the battery lasts ( I did buy a second). The drain now not only opens up, you can hear the water flowing in the drain afterwards like it is really open and not just a “better” trickle.
Lauro Barlan –
This tool is my lifesaver. Always perform well.

It¡¯s amazing and actually quite satisfying to root out those plumbing evildoers like hair, hair, and rubber bands used with hair.
I like our plumber but this investment should keep a nearly annual appointment away until this machine dies. Which seems like a long time from now… it¡¯s made pretty tough.
eva manning –
This is easy to use and a bargain to boot. I just love it. Also easy to store.
Lilian –
Es muy f¨¢cil de usar y si funciona muy bien
Adam Berg –
Works good for medium- minor clogs. Nothing insane lol
Rich –
Works great to clear the clog in my pipe but there¡¯s no ¡°catch¡± at the end of the wire. It ended up getting stuck and I had to pull it out manually.
Amazon Customer –
I can’t believe I didn’t order this before. It is so easy to use, you don’t have to take your trap apart under the sink it just snakes its way through it. Really easy to clean, just run hot water down your drain when you reverse it to bring it back up, I also put dish soap down drain, and wipe it with a rag as it rewinds. No more over 300.00 plumbing bills.
Starship-Pilot –
This thing works. I’ve used it indoors and out with 100% success. It paid for itself three times over the first use. I only wish I had bought one sooner. Fantastic.
Verified purchaser –
This drain Auger worked great but after full day of use stopped working! Emailed manufacture stated stop working after use and they sent new one very happy with product
Christine Tsai –
Appreciated that the auger was cordless and lightweight and it all came in a nice nifty case! We were able to clear our kitchen sink and bathroom sink using this auger. Buying this will save us money on hiring plumbers and especially convenient during these difficult covid-19 pandemic times.
J.B. (Washington, USA) –
I used this drain snake to un-clog our kitchen sink, and after some practice, it worked! I noticed that the snake’s head would be a bit small to un-clog very solid/large obstacles in the pipe but for regular clean-up and not-too-solid obstacles, this seems to work very well.
I also liked the fact it was delivered within one day of (emergency) purchase!
C. B. Moore –
Liked being easy to forward and reverse the snake. Some difficulty maneuvering through ell joint
Amazon Customer –
See a bowl full of human sewage? No? That¡¯s because this wonderful tool cleared a block that defeated two plungers, dish soap, and other tricks. It took a tiny bit of practice figuring out when to extend the snake and when to leave it in place and just spin the snake, but once I got the hang of it I was able to dig out the clog and clear the pipes. It¡¯s a huge relief to know that if anything goes wrong again this is already in my tool chest. Also, the gloves it came with were perfect!
Gary Hayes –
So easy to use……
Fast Finish –
Amazing for those few times you might need one. It is a cleaner more efficient tool when you need a bit more than a plunger.
Bradlee Smith –
Easy to use and very useful!
Dawn Romantic –
Had been having some issues with the kitchen drain for a few months, had tried all the pour down the drain solutions, and even hand snaked the drain – it would open up for a day or two. Called in the professionals, and they had a big machine that snaked it, and it worked for a week! Finally bought this and we have been clog free for a month now, so easy to use and clean. Really glad we have this on hand now.

This drain snake by populo is easy to use and sure beats the manual drain augers .Did a small test on a drain with it and was pretty impressed
Vincent Herr –
Bent a little bit but mostly got the job done
John C Leigh –
Did the job when needed.Easy to use. Excellent for unclogging my toilet.Had a slight problem reversing the direction of the snake until I figured out the right combination of switch and lever positions,but once I realized my mistake it worked well.
megan –
Works good
Ed B. –
Very simple and works great
Judith F. –
We frequently have clogged drain. Our plumber passed, and a drain specialist was going to cost close to 400. I ordered this, drain resolved for now and future.
Christian D. –
The diy ease of use is amazing. The hand held battery operation is ideal for unclogging a bathtub.
Troy –
This is a compact approach to a difficult problem. I bought it because it could be used safely on toilets and it worked. I would have liked it to have more than one tip on the snake. Works well.
Bridgett S. –
Ended up needing to rent a much bigger auger, but this will come in handy and happy to have it.

Works well, but takes a long time to retract.

Worked well. Well built
BGplusone –
I am by no means a handy man but got tired of paying $100 for a plumber to do 20 mins of work. Works great for someone that has to YouTube everything. I imagine it would be even better for someone that knows what they are doing. Haha.
Nonnie Brown –
Very nice product haven’t used it yet but it’s lightweight and very well made and very well made

This unit was easy to use and cleared the drains quickly! Impressed!
DEE –
This thing is amazing I had a clogged sink for why too long and one use of this and I have a sink to use again! The only thing is it took forever to coil back inside, Seriously was like over 30 minutes. It was absolutely ridiculous at times we didn¡¯t even know if it was actually going back inside. I¡¯m glad I have a sink to use again and am impressed that it only too one time.
Amazon Customer –
When I got my snake I immediatly used it, It was nice the battery was already charged , It unclogged my sink at 25ft into the pipe!! Thank you so much!!
Joel Gallegos –
Wow. All I can say is if you have a plug get this. I was having all kinds of trouble with a manual snake because my drain has 3 90 degree turns and was going up the vent pipe at the last 90. Well this machine blasts through 3 90s like butter . I am completely impressed with this unit. No more plug and no more paying plumbers!!! This thing payed for itself 3 times over on the first use.
Jackie –
Super easy instructions and use. This product is durable and built well.

This machine unclogged my toilet pipes professionally just like a plumber would. And I saved a whole lot of money.
Paul Warner –
Fantastic product
MICHAEL A. NOWACZYK –
Easy to use and gets the job done,cordless is a big plus also.
Tom Mathis –
I really like to bag it fits into, and the fact that it feeds itself into the clogged pipe and then by reversing it retracts back into the tool.
Patrick J. Kinane –
Worth the price. Recovered cost first use by not having to call a plumber. The hand rodder didn’t do the trick, was cumbersome and took more time. The Populo was quick.
Axel Calderon –
I love how easy to use and it comes with a light and drain part.

Wayward Son –
Simple to use, seems to have plenty of power. First use, we’ll see how it holds up over time
Tim Carlson –
Product worked as expected, came with a charge that did what I needed it to. It has unclogged roughly 20 drains to the full length without requiring a recharge out the box. I use this at a commercial building for light use there.
No complaints.
I made some mistakes and customer service went above and beyond what I ever expected them to do.
Jerry E Kozuch –
Just finished using this tool! Excellent ! Work great !! Love it!!
Linda –
General sink in shopping. Like that it has a storage bag

The drain auger worked easily as intended. Altho’ slightly bulky, it was easy to handle and use. Easily cleared hair form the bathtub drain.
raymond l. cruz –
Easy to use and works perfect to clear out the drain. Thank you.
Gus Home Repair –
Product was very easy to use; before I knew it I had extended the entire 25 ft into a bathroom sink drain. Easily followed path of the drain. It broke up up the difficult clog effortlessly. Best clog buster I¡¯ve used. Great addition to my toolbox.
Lloyd Alleyne –
Great item a must have DIY works wonderful and effective i save alot of money no plumber and that is great new .
A. M. Septimus –
Clear out the outside drain. Worked well and was very easy to turn on and use without any issue.
nandy –
If you’ve ever used a snake before it’s pretty much the same feel adjusting the snaking mechanism. This tool comes with forward and reverse shift settings which is really cool and worked perfectly. This particular brand is cordless which I had resolved in general to never buy again since they do have a shelf life depending on the battery. Have a care when operating since you want to keep the battery area as dry as possible to prolong the life of this tool. If you’ve never used a snake before watch a video as inexperienced users will lack techniques that are easily picked up upon observation and make your snaking experience a gratifying one, as mine was for me. At the price, you cannot go wrong!
Donna –
Worked great for my needs
R. Wilkerson –
Feeds and rotates with a press of a switch,put in reverse and it retracts back into housing,works well!!
james anderson –
Easy to use and good quality.
Patriotsnjz –
I was looking for an electric drain snake and almost spent 3 to 4 times as much. Glad I didn’t, because this little gem works as advertised. Definitely recommend to any DIYer!
C –
This thing has saved me a few hundred already . Drain constantly gets clogged. Easy to use . I would say this is good for minor sink clogs nothing crazy . My sink probably has minor roots that keep coming back but this does the job.
Patricia Duron –
It¡¯s great but a bit short . Some times you need 25 feet more longer .
S. Lee –
Up to 25 ft it does as advertised. It unplugged the blockage.
brandon –
It¡¯s nice I¡¯ve used it soo many times
Ryan Terwilliger –
Works as intended. Convenient for clogs that a plunger won¡¯t get, but not worth calling a plumber.
Gennadiy Krok –
a great tools, very economical compared to calling the master. Very easy to use, I am very pleased with the purchase. thanks!!!!!!
GEORGI –
Great product
michael s. –
I have a manual drain snake, would not go around the 90’s. this 20 volt drain snake was unbelievable. it work so well i clean every drain in my house. real easy to use. thank you
sureenm –
This tool cleared the clog in no time at less than half of the price you pay to the plumber and this is definitely a recurring issue. This tool can be re-used and saves you lot of money.
Rory –
I¡¯ve never used an auger pipe before but wanted to be able to do some basic plumbing work myself at my house. This was easy to use and effective. I¡¯m not sure how it will last over time but it worked. I fully extended it in both directions through the sewer main line. Happy with this purchase.
Scott Lange –
This made quick work of clearing my slow draining sink and tub. This will safe a lot of money by clearing drains myself instead of hiring a plumber.
Amazon Customer –
One of the best purchases, ever! I suggest that everyone own one of these. Our drains clog often. I was so over using the tedious hand crank snake & having a stock of drain cleaning gels. Now I don’t have to use either! This Populo Electric drain auger worked like a charm.
sandy sherwood –
Been fighting a clog for a week just received the Populo drain auger yesterday and today we unclogged our outdoor clean out our problem was kitchen sink,tub and toilet
Amazon Customer –
Great, Ease to use.
Kevin Scott Cooper –
Did not end up working out and had to return. Cord got kinked and we could no longer use unit.
fkb –
Works great!
chris sims –
Worked great to clear my shower drain. Easy to use, had no problems going through the trap and clearing the drain. Being cordless is a really nice feature.
B. C. –
I received this with a fully charged battery which was surprising, Ready to use right out of the box. All functions worked as described, easy to clean up after use, Reverse rotation function is very nice in case there is a solid obstruction that cannot be pulled out, or augered through. Comes in a handy carrying case. You can tell when you have reached the end of the auger cable as there is the attachent set screw for replacing the cable if need be. Cannot believe how easily it went through my toilet. I have used maual snakes before and had to fight to get them through the toilet. This thing just goes right in no problem, no kinking.
By far the BEST drain auger I have ever had.
mazen –
Great product!
Suehes1 –
After using this auger my drains are running clear and fast. I have three girls and the hair builds up fast. With this I will now be able to brush my teeth and the water actually go down!!!

The tub drain was going down slower and slower. I decided to purchase this tool. It performed as advertised and I had the drain opened in about 5 minutes. That saved me an expensive plumber bill.
Casey –
IMPORTANT: You must DRY and AIR OUT this tool properly before storage or it will rust and break. Use and old rag or towel to dry, remove the rear Drum Drain Plug and when you get a chance , stretch the cable all the way out and let it dry. I used it on a Slow draining Kitchen Sink Drain (pictured), a Slow Tub Drain and a plugged toilet. I was even able to feed this Drain Auger through the toilet bowl itself to clear the toilet clog. Trick is to go slow you need to guide the cable with your gloved hand as you turn it slowly with battery power, gloves included, when you feel resistance, lock the cable and spin in place, after a couple of minutes again feed the cable, keep in mind you will feel some resistance when passing joints and bends in your plumbing, keep the cable turning slowing and it will easily go out 25ft. Like all Plumbing Auger Cables if you don’t properly dry them, they will rust badly.
Don Baker –
Liked it.
Darrell –
It works great i love this machine
Ron Lindsey –
This is a great tool for small household drains. I had an upstairs sink drain that I have been fighting with for a few years. Every kind of drain cleaner you can imagine, a snake with an electric drill and a hand held snake was used. Nothing worked until this. I had to use all 25 feet. It got stuck at the full extension and I was worried about retracting it. I read the directions on how to reverse feed it (since it was stuck). Worked like a charm, cleared the clog. It is amazing that a battery powered device extended to 25 feet and stuck would work, but it did great. Saved money and time. Worth it for me. Very happy.
V Holden –
USED POPULO ON BATH TUB BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. FLOWING NOW. DON’T FORCE A BATH DRAIN LET MACHINE DO WORK.

I really like the Populo tool that I received. It is very useful and easy to use. I would be recommend this product to a friend.
Dave M –
The controls work well and are easy to use. It is well engineered.
Ricky G –
This thing is awesome!!! This vs a plumber = same $ cost. Snaked my kitchen snake from the connection between the sinks, the tee part. I didnt disconnect the p trap and it went through like nothing. Ran it back and forth a couple times. Connected back together and it’s like I have a new drain! Well worth the money. Plus I can use it again and again. Also, has a drain plug to remove the nasty water from the drum. Great bang for the buck
Keith Woodson –
For the size of the auger, it is heavy duty and performs like the big boys.
jess –
Easy to use and easy set up comes with manual, bag , gloves amazing product came fast and really cleans. Would buy again.
Melissa Beaza –
Product was easy to use and light weight to handle. I recommend this product to everyone I know. It got the job done!! Thank you!!
Seaman –
Had a master bath shower drain I tried a manual snake on and it did not work. Charged the battery on this bad boy and away I went. First time down the drain I went about ten feet, pulled out one nasty wad of hair. Second time down wet down the entire 25 feet and pulled out a massive wad of hair! Final time down, went 25 feet again and the drain was free and flowing! Screw manual snakes, drain cleaners and chemicals, this machine works and I HIGHLY recommend to all of you that snake drains in your home, BUY ONE!
laura cookson –
This product works great. Very easy to use.
Mike Brat –
After breaking one snake and one drilling point on my newly acquired Super V and fighting this drain for 5.5 hours at that point in desperation I decided to give this tool a try. I bought this tool almost as a lark, thinking it might be useful in light duty situations and might save me from lugging the much heavier and cumbersome Super V into confined areas.. It took six attempts to draw the nasty pet hair clog from the drain. By the 4th attempt I was developing a feel for the tool, learning when to speed up or slow down. So be patient. The only shortcoming is the length of snake the tool can handle but we regained the use of our kitchen and laundry thanks to this monster.
Dzu –
It very good
Daryl Z. –
This is an inexpensive tall which will save you hundreds of dollars if you have to hire a plumber. Disregard the negative feedback because if you want a top-of-the-line one then you¡¯ll spend hundreds of dollars this is an inexpensive tool that works fantastic for the price. I was skeptical at first I have use this thing now five times and every single time and it is done it¡¯s job and some!
David –
Very easy to use. Will definitely save me from a plumber visit next time I have a clog.
Kindle Customer –
Great product. Worked perfectly in clearing our kitchen sink blockage. We used to earlier rent drain snakes from nearby hardware stores. Those drain snakes were bulky and difficult to maneuver. Populo eas much simpler to use and is the right size for regular home needs
Michael Dixon –
I had a clog that was haunting us for a week. I have a hand crank auger and could not get that clog to loosen up. First try with this thing and I was able to get through further than I was able to with the hand crank. Now to make sure I treat my sink weekly so this nightmare doesn’t happen again.
Clint Surface –
Got out a tough kitchen sink clog that nothing else would unclog. Took some time but it got the job done and battery lasted a lot longer than expected. Happy with product
Ting-Yuan Chang –
This is my first time writing a review. It just saved my life on the dang clog in the shower that had bothered me for several months.
I had a very difficult time using a manual auger before, which always took like 2-3 hrs and I got nothing at all.
In the beginning, I was quite worried about the bad review on this product like it breaks at the first use or not useful etc. But guess what, I only used for 10 min ish and I pull out a pony tail from the drain. It¡¯s a little disgusting but satisfying!
Folcababa –
Works and operates well as explained in the description. I doubted some comments before buying, but then I summoned my boldness to go for it, and the rest is success of buying it.
Dennis W. –
Very Easy to use love The 25 feet cable

I purchased this tool as a gift. I’m sure he will find this tool to be well made and easy to operate. It is weighty to me, but I’m an older lady, but I’m sure he will be very pleased it.
mary hill –
It work great
jessebil –
I had to use it a couple times to figure it out. It worked wonderfully. I would recommend it highly.
JAA –
Seems well-made, sturdy, and it is not difficult to use. The instructions are pretty detailed and easy to follow. It did the job clearing a drain at way less than the cost of hiring a plumber. Cleaning the coil after using it is easy and I imagine well extend the life of the machine considerably.
Joanna Cilwa –
After having major clogging issues in our downstairs bathroom (kids) we needed something that would save us some money. So we purchased this product. We would recommend the product!
MS –
Good Augur for sinks, bath tubs, standing showers and even kitchen; however, do not do the mistake I did.
It was advertised for toilets as well but it ended up scratching it, so not good for toilets but rest all works okay.
Luis Ayala –
I really like this machine
Adriano Silva de Fran?a –
great product, recommend it to everyone!
Patty Duffey –
Not big enough for a large sewer line pipe 3-4 inch which is why I got it. Probably would be ok for a smaller pipe
Sandy Pardington –
Excellent for the weekend warrior, my son and I now have a project to do together, this product is excellent , save money on the plumber.
Moving to the Florida Beach –
After days of trying to unclog a toilet, nothing worked. Even a manual snake from Home Depot would not even loosen the issue of way too much TP in our pipes. After seeing the reviews, gave this tool a try. Its awesome! Our toilet is back to normal. Easy to use. Follow directions and leave cable out to dry afterwards. Worth the money!
Michael H. –
I give this auger 5 stars because not only is it an affordable tool but works great and can save you a lot of money on unclogging those drains. I perform maintenance on apartments and this tool is exactly what I needed for those clogged kitchen sinks and bathtubs. Plus I had a small problem with the charger and within days after contacting Populo another arrived at my house via Fedex.
Amzon Customer –
Easy to use
Keller Lyon –
With this tool not being one of the more commonly known brand names I’m honestly pleasantly surprised. It feels nice and sturdy in the hands definitely nice build quality.
Amazon Customer –
There’s an access vent in the basement our old house and it would gurgle for a few days, then start to puddle. The pipe is probably clogged with 60+ years of fat and grease and it doesn’t take much to close it up. using this machine works good.excellent tool.
Dave Reid –
Excellent tool, unclogged my kitchen drain which was block for 2 days! Saved me $$$ from getting a umber out to do it
DJR –
Works well for bringing up a large hairball. Well designed, had no trouble running the snake as opposed to hand held cranked or even ones you can attach to a drill. The difference is with this machine you don¡¯t have to repeatedly lock the snake and little by little crank it in. Instead it goes in with no interruption.
What used to take 1/2 hour is done in 5 minutes.
I hope it lasts, but a plumber would cost 3x the machine, so I¡¯m pretty pleased. The bag is good for keeping everything in one place.
WILLIAM E PASCHALL –
Easy to use. Effective for clearing clogs. Price was great
David J. Kiss –
Works as described & advertised. Opened the drain in minutes.

Great Find! This is an Awesome product! The drum comes off easily for cleaning and it’s easier to use than every other power snake I’ve ever used and I’ve used quite a few, from short hand held to large commercial snakes. Great deal too!

Very easy to use! For half the price of a plumber visit, I was able to unclog my kitchen sink. Worked great and nice gloves too!
Fan –
Good design and length, easy to handle and not too heavy.
Max –
I like to do everything myself so I know it’s right. First try, this auger pulled out a 2 inch hair and grease clog. My manual auger wouldn’t pull out the clog. Easy to use if you read instructions and comes with everything you need. I almost had to pay for a plumber. Appt was scheduled and I ordered this product. It arrived in 1 day and the clog came out 15 minutes later. The plumber called when I was washing my hands so I cancelled the appointment.
Fenix –
I’m very satisfied with the auger. It’s easy to use and gets the work done. Cleared the kitchen line in half an hour. Battery also charges fast. Saves future plumber calls, definitely worth the money.
Bear –
Very easy to use. The only thing that might be a negative is the weight. But if you want a quality product that will last a long time, that¡¯s something you must get use to. This fixed my clogged kitchen sink and now water is draining how it should be.
That one guy –
Day it arrived I unclogged one sink and one shower. Assuming it holds up for the long run, this this is gonna be great to keep around.
Blanche W. –
It’s very easy to use the price was great and it’s easy to keep clean along with all the amazing accessories

A great value, work as described and was easy to use.

It was easy to use to unclog my Kitchen Sink, I will always recommend this device to anyone who needs it.
Christine bell –
Was very easy to use and it being battery operated cordless is awsome.
Louis –
Used this auger to successfully clear a bathroom sink drain. The value is incredible for a self-contained drum auger. This type of auger is so much easier to use than a manual/drill-operated auger. The battery charges fast and this set also comes with a bag and plumbing gloves.
Joan –
Clearing sewer line
Fabby –
This tool did the job to clear the drain. However, the auger cable got bent up in the process. Still cheaper than a plumber.
RL –
This is my third drain Auger. Worked much better than previous two. Professional quality and reasonable price.
J. G. –
Works great. Wish it was longer than 25 feet but it does the trick.
nims –
It got the job done and was easy to use.
Donald S. –
It did an excellent job on my pipes in my restrooms
Figueroa –
Considering that this is my son’s first time using this (18 years old), it was easy and efficient.
We watched the videos, and it worked. We only had to use it once, but we are ready for the next time.
Thanks
WN –
Worked like a charm and saved myself a ton by clearing a stubborn clog myself vs. calling a plumber. I would encourage that you read the instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with operating this device before using and would definitely recommend purchasing this product. Be sure to click on the $20.00 manufacturers coupon if its still being offered on Amazon.
marc archambeau –
Ok, if you only read 1 instruction manual this year. READ THIS ONE.
Also, make sure your shoes are tied.
And make sure you dont need all of your arm hair. I recommend putting dish soap on the included gloves. All of these things got twisted…easy to reverse except the arm hair.
So, I had a serious glog. Was hedging on a 50′ but cost and my level of capability waived
Had a little teouble figuring out left right back forward this that….in the end a right screw and manual feed worked GREAT.
Paid some $92 with tax.
Came with gloves
Came RIGHT AWAY LIKE WITHIN 2 HRS
Durable.
Well built.
Battery lasted longer than me all of my ripped hairs and idiot get your shoe lace caught.
Comes with a bag.
Easy to clean.
Variable speed
Great for the non pro.
Odd connection for the battery charger… but again mostly because I refuse to read instructions. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

WORTH THE $ If yoy okay with a dirty job and saving your money.
Oh and theb I used it to clear out a down spout. If you do this GO SLOW.
Rebecca Anne –
Worth the money! It worked great to open the shower drain, bathtub and bathroom sinks. It didn’t clear the laundry/kitchen drain, my husband thinks we need a longer auger. But, this a great buy and it pays for itself after just one use. We cleared 4 drains, it would’ve cost at least twice as much for a plumber, here in O.C. CA.

This could be the best tool I ever bought and I do buy a lot of tools. There was something wrong in the basement utility sink that feeds the cast iron drain. I tried a cheapie, but well reviewed snake – nothing.
Tried drain cleaner. Worked then backed up again. At best a 1/8 full in the small utility sink emptied over 12 hours.
The problem was in the cast iron down pipe which I concentrated on….
I called a plumber and figured well one last try. I cannot believe the result and ease of use. Ok, it took a tiny bit of getting used to and I’m not sure the video is correct. However, it worked great. I even ran it twice because I know the clog was not really that far down yet very compacted and stubborn.
Result was half a tub of water swirled down the drain. Amazing.
Just read the reviewer who recommended cleaning and letting the cable dry. It did look rusted when pulled out and I love this tool so best take good care of it.
Amazon Customer –
Works well and if it seems the plumber one trip will pay for itself it’s a fine
Sphynx 4 dayz –
It worked. Feels sturdy. I like that it came with a storage bag.
W. Simmons –
Fantastic and incredibly ease of operation! This POPULO Electric Drain Auger cleared my bathroom sink drain which I hopefully, was last chance to clear the clog. I tried chemical drain liquid and a manual drain auger but without success. I thought I would have to open up the kitchen ceiling and replace the drain pipe from the bathroom sink! Luckily, I purchased this POPULO ELECTRIC DRAIN AUGER and it successfully cleared the clog within a few minutes. It quickly worked down the drain through whatever angles it came into and easily cleared the clog! Whew! The price is affordable and worth it! Beautiful bag, battery and charger and even gloves!
Patrick –
Works great for small drains I do this for a living this really met expectations
Leydi N Alcivar –
I got my order same day which was amazing since my laundry sewer was so clogged. I have had my dad before to lend me his which is a big thing that is as heavy a huge rock. This is easy to use even to a useless girl like me.
Ryan –
Our main reason for purchasing was to eliminate the physical demand of a manual drain snake and this thing works like a charm!
Our maintenance team was beyond thankful and it’s a great tool to have when things go south.
We have also used this to clear drain pipes on other structures outside of septic, saving dozens of man hours.
Amanda –
I can¡¯t say enough good things about this little machine. Our washer has been backing up into our sink and then the water started spilling out of the drain in the laundry room.
We ran this auger twice through the drain and got so much gunk out of the drain. Before buying this, we tried a manual auger and it was a waste of money.
francisco betancourt –
Love it just what I needed works great long lasting battery 🙂
Jeff Follin –
Easy to use and value for money!!!

I like that this item was easy to use and clean . Definitely a value for the money .
Tom Savarese –
Worked first time right out of the box! Paid for a plumber visit!
Dug, –
Used on the bathtub, worked great
Piervito –
The unit is very nice. It does what it’s supposed to do and it does it well. I snaked my backyard from the center’s drain to the basement door.
It was smooth all the way. I am comparing it to the heavy duty sewer cleaner that I have. Over all this unit fills a gap and is an easy to use item for any homeowner. Yes;
I recommend it. Piervito from Brooklyn NY
Michael R.Evangelista –
This is my 5th one that I’ve bought and the best one out of all the brands ! Battery has great life on it
Keenan Baker –
This snake made it very easy to unclog drains. I was able to easily get clogs deep in my pipes that I couldn¡¯t reach with regular manual snakes. It¡¯s much easier to retract and clean than manual as well.
Woolly B –
Saved time and money. This thing is great!
Alexandra Yaeger –
No-one wants to buy a product like this, but sometimes you have to ¡ it worked GREAT – no more plungers for us! thank you!
Quinton Davis –
Very easy to use, worth every penny!!! Easy for someone with no plumbing skills.
Jay –
I am happy that I decided to get this product, compared to using a manual drain auger. This saves time and money. Just wish I would have pick this up sooner. Great buy!!
Rach reyes –
Goodbye plumber!!! This is so effective and so easy to use. I could have spend hundreds of dollars for a plumber but this product saves me a lot of money! Giving it a 5!
phillip –
I bought this to clean my drains out and thus did the job in seconds. I was using a hand auger but it wouldn’t cut thru the hair by hand. I cleaned out all the drains and vents in less then 40 mins.read the directions you be fine
Robert M. Robinson –
You mail me the cable but not the school goes with it it¡¯s no good I can¡¯t find a nail or screw that size so please mail the screw with the cable it would be easier for the customers
Brenda Fitzpatrick –
Worked great
billde03 –
Great product for the price.
John Campo –
Only used once but it worked great. Hopefully will continue to do a good job when it is needed. Need to tilt the machine up on a wall or something so all the nasty water drains out.
Trusted Plumber –
Both drains in shower and sink had hair and gunk stuck that was not dissolving with traditional drain chemicals. This machine replaced those environmental terrible products and a real-life plumber for a better easy DIY task. Excellent tool for first time user to rid of slow drain in sink, bathroom, and kitchen. Would use again, need pliers to remove hair from tool’s wire before and after use.
Kindle Customer –
Clearing the clog is a cinch with this tool. It’s easy to use and portable.
Y. Li –
I used this tool immediately after receiving it. It worked as expected. Like other snakes, it can be hard to use when it is stuck, so releasing the tension (by either moving the cord backward) is important.
Like similar products in the market, the cleaning is not very easy. Once you reached to the spot and started to retract the cord, water is inevitably going into the compartment. You have to pull it out again and clean use another cloth. But it is the nature of this kind of product, so it is normal.
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.
Nina –
I purchased this product to help me clear a clogged kitchen sink. The manual snake I had was labor intensive and hard to use so I gave this product a go since it¡¯s a battery operated and much easier to control. Well made and easy to use.
chandra –
I was impressed
Joey V –
Great for Dads who have kids who use too much TP!
I couldn¡¯t tell you have many times my kids clog the toilets by using half a roll of TP! This thing works like a champ to clear those clogs fast!!
Ctaylor82 –
Im glad that I purchased this item. I had clogged pipes in my kitchen and laundry room. The pipes are connected. Within 20 min of using this to clear my main pipe under my kitchen sink my pipes were back open. Thank goodness they are not overflowing anymore. Without this I would have wasted a lot of money calling a plumber.
John Wood –
For the amount of money charged for a machine like this, you can pretty much throw it away after one service call and still make money!
If you’re a homeowner, save yourself tons of money with minor clogs. This is an excellent machine for the money.
Rachel VA –
New tool for my collection…definitely a must have!
Amazon Customer –
This was way easier than the add your own drill type I had been using. Plus it came with a bag to store it in.
John Morano –
The item does exactly what it advertises to do. Clean the drain.
bluewindharper –
Non plumbing savy, but after watching a couple of videos my young adult son and I were able to clear a shower drain in less than 15 minutes. Great tool!
bob –
A plumber charges a hundred dollars just to walk in the front door, and that 7 am appointment turns into 2 pm. With the double sink I had to remove the p trap and that was the hardest part. That done, I ran the auger into the pipes. Pushed the buttons and with no hassle, my drain was clear. I have poured literally gallons of drain cleaner down this, and it has been slow for 7 years. What ever the obstruction was, it’s gone now. Electric is the way to go!
ALAN HEBEL –
Very easy to use works as explained
Jose henriquez –
Every homeowner should have one
Stella –
Strong enough for household using. Very easy to use and save a lot of money.

The auger performed like I expected. I purchased after seeing my plumber use one to clear clog in our sink drain. Plan to save some money.

Lizard Breath –
What a pleasure to not have to feet a snake into a drain by hand, and then turn the little crank, just to see the snake twist and get all tangled! This unit makes snaking SO much easier and less messy. You just press the forward lever forward and in goes the snake. Then you pull it back to retrieve it, all nicely coiled. To clean the snake, I did the same but with a bucket of soapy water.
One suggestion: It would be great if the snake had a mark every 5′ or so, so that one could tell how much snake has gone into the pipe.
Redheaded Coastie –
Just what we needed, and now the family can borrow it before spending money on a plumber.
Amazon Customer –
I bought this several months ago after paying a plumber $175 for a drain unplug. Used it for the first time at the in-laws today and this thing is great for minor clogs. The device is fairly intuitive to operate, appears to be quality built and is supplied with gloves and a bag to carry and store the tool. If it saves one call to the plumber, you have paid for it. The limiting factor is the 25 foot snake length.
CKW –
This POPULO Electric Drain Auger comes at a very reasonable price with everything needed even gloves and a tote bag. Furthermore, their customer service is excellent AND they offer a free Drain Cleaner’s cable as a loyalty gift.
? Laura Ipsum ? –
Compact and powerful. And I was able to clear the clog without calling a plumber or my evil ex-husband!!!!!
Saved me money and self respect.
Aris –
It is light and Easy to use
Amazon Customer –
Cleared very stubborn kitchen sink drain. Definitely saved a call to the plumber
Sheila M. Yanez –
This thing is amazing! I was hesitant but after reading reviews, I thought I would try!! Works perfect and WAY cheaper than a plumber. I tried everything I should and some I shouldn’t,, to unclog my shower and NOTHING! Used this and got it unclogged in less than 10 min. Super easy to use. Sorry about the gross picture but this thing got all that out.. that is probably hair from before we even bought our house. Gross.
Michelle –
I loved the fact that it was user friendly. Having never used a battery operated Auger, I was very nervous. You Quick Step guide was my best friend. Everyone should have one of these for their clogged drains!
Amazon Customer –
I like this product this much. It was so useful. I used it today and the clog was gone in 2 minutes. Thanks populo tools
Steven Man –
I love it.
O Mons –
This tool is useless. I followed the instructions on the tool but for some reason this could not get past a P trap to get to the blockage. I was trying to clear up a blockage(most likely hair) on a stand up shower, I have tried a good hour to get past the P trap but to no avail. I think a manual auger which costs 1/5 of this tool will produce the same result. If that does not work, will get a professional plumber involved.
UPDATE: It works!! I used it again, this time with patience and a lot of forward and reverse action to get pass the p trap and the running water i think helped as well. After the p trap, got to the hair blockage and extracted it. I have a picture of the muck, but don’t want anyone to throw up. So changing the rating to 5 stars for working as advertised and saving me money on the plumber.
ReShop –
I¡¯m plumber and I would recommend this auger to anyone who has drain clogging issues. It¡¯s perfect for bathroom and kitchen. Definitely not for main sewer line.
Laurie W. –
Well worth the money and gets the job done as advertised. The downstairs sink was badly clogged up. After one usage of my Populo drain auger, the drain was cleared and working properly. Also very handy being a battery charged unit so you don¡¯t have to worry about using extension cords to power the unit.
Spy Hunter –
I tried everything in my arsenal before I bought this. Drain0, Drain opener, manual auger; nothing worked. My shower drain had been backed up for a while. Got this unit and I must say (even if it’s made in CN) it works. It cleaned out the shower drain in 15 minutes and it does a great job on gutter downspouts as well! Just go slow at first and it will do the rest. RTFM though! (Read the fine manual)
Amazon Customer –
Worked well to unclog our tub. Feels like it is made with good quality and I would expect it to last for quite some time. My wife clogs our tub drain at least 2 times a year with her hair (not if you ask her, though). This definitely beats paying a plumber to come out!
May Y –
I have had two manual 25′ drain snakes for my kitchen and shower drain. One of the more simple one was broken. And my kitchen sink drain gets clogged more and more often. After re-doing the drain pipe without much success, I decided to shop for a power snake. I bought this based on that it is cordless. I charged the battery overnight and put it on. The directions are very straight forward and I had no problem to set it up and tested it out. So far so good. Hopefully it works out fine when next time I have to put it to real use.
Dana Rodgers –
Worked great! Used it to clean out the hair trapped in the bathtub.
Carla S. –
Decided to make the purchase when we had a clog in the air unit drain. Could of used it many times before but always used the manual snake, never again. Received it in a couple of days. immediately charged and put it to use. Best thing ever. It went where our regular snake would not and with a little forward/backward motion cleared the clog. This will come in handy and already paid for itself with one use.
Stan.L –
My bathroom gets a lot of traffic with 2 daughters with long hair. The drain clogs every month, we dumped so much money on drain-o, bleach, liquid plumber but they offer very little relief.
We started to hire Roto-rooters to unclog the drain, but at $150 per visit, it is literally pouring money down the drain.
We I bought this power Populu auger, and it is amazing. No more manual rolling. In my first attempt, it unclogged our shower drain.
Get this and you won’t be dissapointed.
BOX30MAN –
Bought to use around the house cause we live quite a way out town and had 2 bocked drains, right out of the box, charged the battery and in less than 20 minutes had both drains flowing like new
JJ –
We got standing water in our kitchen sink. After getting some quotes from a few local contractors, I decided to check on DIY options and found this machine on Amazon. It arrived today as scheduled. It took an hour or two to charge the battery, took my husband about half an hour to unclog the drain. He worked the snake up and down 3 times with water running, stopped here and there to spin it at certain spots. It’s easy to use. The price might seem high but you probably can only make one contractor call with the money so it’s totally worth it! It would be more convenient if the auger can run with an AC adapter too instead of cordless only. It comes with a sturdy pouch so I can put everything in it and put away without worrying of losing any accessories. Overall I’m very satisfied with the item.

THIS CAN START A BUSINESS FOR YOU IS A COOL PRODUCT FAST IT HAS FOWARD & REVERSE A++++++

This tool rocks. After about 20 minutes of work, my shower no longer gets backed up. The plumber wanted $350 to unclog it! It was easy to use and I followed instructions. So glad I found this item here.

This puppy is a super easy to use and solidly build piece of at home plumbing hardware, that any at home do it yourselfer needs in their arsenal. I was very happy with this product and have already used it twice for clearing drains both in my home and a friends house.

This Drain Auger has paid for itself, and then some, the first time I used it!! I am a 65+ year old woman and had NO problem using it to clean my shower drain! I consider it one of the best investments I have made as of late – you will NOT have buyers remorse!!
Amazon Customer –
Cleared my drain without any issues. So glad I bought this and saved paying for a plumber.

This did the job I purchased it for. I hope to not have to use again, but if I do, it will be worth it not to have to call a plumber!

had a very bad drain clogged up and this worked great !!
David K –
I was very surprised how easy the Populo Electric Auger was to use and it worked just as advertised.
I had a clogged kitchen drain about 10 or 12 ft from the sink.
Accessed the drain through an inspection port under the sink and used the auto feed to insert the snake. It worked just as expected and fed the snake in and cleared the clog.
Very impressed with the performance, especially considering the relatively low price. Would definitely recommend this electric auger to any home owner.
Daniel Hu –
Easy to use, solve the drain problem, save money and time!
Eric Teipen –
This thing has saved me a ton of money and I’ve only used it 3 times . That’s 3 times that I didn’t have to call a Plummer to make a visit. You do the math. I’m so glad that I bought one.
Christopher Borg –
I tried so many different solutions to clear the drain in my shower. Nothing worked. I started do some research on a new plan. Everybody suggested an auger. That worked! Your auger was easy to use and heavy duty! Thank you

Wow great tool, easy to use great price. So 40 years wife found a clogged bathroom sink drain that beat her. She tried a small and big snake that has worked well for her. 27 years in this old house that’s my hair from me head. She won’t let me touch a drain or cook in the kitchen. Read many dozen reviews on this and other products. Pulled the trigger She was stopped about 5 foot in the drain. She watched how to use video’s, then went at it. In just about 10 minutes Holy Wow wide open after breaking thru that massive plugged hair ball. Easy to clean and used Pb Blaster to protect cable. Stop looking buy this now, just to keep your wife happy and save hundreds on a plumber.
Toshiaki Sakurai –
I have been having washer drain overflow and spent good amount of money to plumber. Now having this tool on hand, it cleared washer drain pipe less than 30 min, then no more drain overflow.
This tool worked perfectly and save money. Highly recommended.
Tony Pedroza –
I like the product well built works well ¡..my only issue is it needs to be longer than 25 feet. In my instance what ever blockage I have in the sink is beyond 25¡¯.

Yes unclogged a stubborn drain that has been bothering us for months. Saved a call to a plumber it would have cost more than this device itself.
Dr Neil E Fradkin –
When my bathroom was flooded because of clogged drainage, I called plumber. He charged $125 (because he did some other works at the same time). After two weeks of drain, it started to clog again and then it flooded. Call the same plumber. He again charged $125 (and is going to do some more works at my place). He said he was not available until next month. Pissed off. Ordered POPULO Electric Drain Auger, 25Ft Plumbing Snake Drain Clog Remover Tools on Amazon. The package arrived super fast. I solved the problem with one try. Great product, easy to use and worth the money. Voila! Went on with my life.
Anibal Erazo –
Very easy to use.
Duke Lee –
This is a perfect tool for a household plumbing problem. It is not as heavy as commercial auger and easy to handle and it saved me 300$ which a cost that an average plumber might charge me. I have been using a commercial tool for my restaurant when plumbing problem happens and it was very hard work with the heavy tool and I could not use it to my house hold sink plumbing. So I bought this and so impressed on this product. Easy and clean. I really recommend this whoever want to use this on house hold sink and a small business kitchen,
jon lim –
Great tool to have
Sergio. G –
Easy to handle, product quality better than expected, got my pipes unclog the first time. Will definitely buy POPULO brand next time I’m in the market for tools
Liz –
Our tub has been draining improperly for a while and bathing the dog was the final straw. My husband and I aren¡¯t very handy and usually just call a plumber but we are considering adding another dog and I figured I would invest in learning how to unclog it myself. This was so easy to use and did the hob! Tub drains better than the day we moved in!
Wisdom followers –
We asked a plumber to snake the drain in our shower. What he did was to pour a bunch of Drano down until a clog cleared. Pretty lazy, huh? A few weeks later the drain backed up. I called him, but he suggested just pouring more Drano into our septic system. I did pour a couple gallons down it, but it didn’t do anything. This little snake hit a hair clog and cleared it right up. Easy to use, cheaper than a plumber, and it worked. All better without toxic chemicals in our septic system.
Margaret Wiley –
It was easy to use and unblocked a drain I struggled with for weeks
Charles Campbell –
It does what it is supposed to do. The LED light turned out to be particularly useful. I wish there was a way to tell how much cable has been used.

i think its perfect for the homeowner to clean out the lines, good price too

I ran this down every drain in my home on one battery charge. It still had plenty of juice left. I bought to clear my kitchen sink but this wasn’t long enough I had to rent a 75ft. However it’s a good tool to have for easier clogs. I used to have a manual one and let me tell you electric is they way to go. No more tired arms.
ruben arriola –
yes
Anthony Donatelli –
Cable broke within first 10 minutes of use. Had to disassemble the whole auger to get to the repair end.

I have been looking for a tool that is easier to operate for drain cleaning. This tool is battery powered which make it a safe tool to operate in potential messy environment.
Robert Griffin –
I Love that it auto feeds and retractable makes it so much easy I Love it !!!!! ??
Anthony DiSante –
I used this to clear a big clog from a 4″ septic pipe. Not the intended use, I know — but it worked great. The only thing I had to do was use pliers to expand the end of the snake/spring a little, to give it a bigger diameter, to make progress in the larger pipe.
My only complaint is that the unit is VERY finicky with its motor. You need to pull the trigger extremely slowly and gently. If you just squeeze it quick like a normal drill, the motor will do a quick jolt (like 1/20th of a turn) and then stop, and the LED will blink quickly. Then you must remove the battery to reset the unit.
The same thing happens frequently during usage. The unit is chugging along just fine, spinning quickly, not even hitting any obstructions yet, etc — and suddenly it stops and the LED blinks rapidly. You need to remove & replace the battery over and over to continue working. This is annoying and makes progress slow.
This problem even happened while just testing the unit on a flat concrete floor, before it ever went into a pipe. So maybe mine is just defective?
Amato –
Worked as advertised…very easy and straightforward to use.
A. Wood –
Once you get used to it, it’s a good pool, but it’s only 25 ft but it’s very portable, definitely worth the money

It is easy to use. It saves me a lot of labor and costs.

Good product. Easy enough for an elderly woman to handle, yet does the job.

Tim Mason –
I’m the maintenance manager for a local retail grocery store/distribution center. On site, we have a carwash, and the drain in one of the bays clogged with silt and other debris washed from vehicles. This unit opened the drain in no time. Impressive performance, considering the price.
Randall Bouman –
Paid for itself first time I used it. Easy to use. No more plumbers!
Michael Scott Russell –
only wish it was longer. This is will worth the money. This is less than half the cost of commercial help and you can use it again.

Augured the pit to my cellar post-IDA
Sherdem –
The product works great, but when I searched milwaukee battery operated plumbing snake on amazon….. and it was the only Milwaukee to show to so we bought it. We wanted Milwaukee because we have batteries and chargers. When it arrived I was confused why a brand I had never heard of was in the package. Went back and ran through the same search process and yes, I was tricked by the color. We needed to use it, and it worked great.
Chris K. –
Wow¡ I purchased this just this week and it got to my place the next day, and thank you for that as my bathroom sink would not drain, and my kids just kept making things worse while I was at work, just dropped their toothbrush caps down the drain and nothing and I mean nothing could get them out, they were lodged, and about 10 feet down the pipe in the wall. I gave up on it and was about to call a plumber, thank god I didn¡¯t do that. Would have costed me some $400 to get them out and my sink back to working. I decided to looking around Amazon to see if their were something I could try, and I found this item. This device is worth every penny it cost, and it doesn¡¯t cost much at all. I had the drain pipe cleared on the first try. The auger just smashed right through the toothbrush caps like they were nothing, and when I threw it in reverse, it pulled everything in my pipe that didn¡¯t belong there out with it with absolutely no effort. This will now be added to my tools everyone should have, because it is worth that much to have this things around. Thanks to Populo, you guys really saved me a lot of money and your auger device is very well built. I will now be looking at some of your other products, you earned it¡
B Mack –
We had an outdoor underground drain that was clogged with some small roots. I had tried unsuccessfully to unclog it using a hand auger. After a lot of frustration I opted to see if there was a better option available. Found this one on Amazon and it made a huge difference. Great instructional videos to teach you how to use it and the battery lasted quite awhile before I had to recharge it.
Amazon Customer –
Great tool, works amazing , remove clog within 2 min of working on it. Entire set tool, bag, glove its absolutely perfect set for every household. Highly recommend to everyone
Amazon Customer –
Great … after having used a manual auger all these years, I’m excited to use this product when needed

I am a novice first-time homeowner. Learning new things as new problems arise. So the experience and knowledge level is zero. I have used this product on a bathtub drain (completely blocked with standing water) multiple times during one week. It took me a little bit of time to get the hang of it. It took me three attempts to starts seeing results. And a couple more to unblock a bathtub drain that I almost lost hope on clearing after multiple failed attempts; that included:
– Two bottles of Drano gel left overnight, followed by pouring hot water down the drain (did not do anything. Hopefully did not eat up the PVC pipes/learning new things every day)
-Manual Auger, 65ft. Bought from and returned to Amazon. That showed signs of rust within one day!!!! Yes. I cleaned it right after ever failed attempt.
– 5 in 1 Sink Snake Cleaner. I bought it from Amazon. It did not work; I just kept it.
Pros
-Less prone to rust: Then comes Populo Electric Auger. It took me three days to finish the job as I would leave it due to frustration. I did not clean the Auger in between. The cable showed no signs of rust after the third day and completion of the job. Before storing, I took all the cable line out. I washed the cable with a hose, keeping the Auger dry. Let it air/sundry. I disinfected it as much as I could. I threw away the gloves after use, will buy new ones. Not washing/keeping the used ones.
-Battery life: After the initial charge, the battery lasted for as long as I used the Auger. Several times, almost over an hour and a half of the total use time.
Cons
I read all the instructions. I watched multiple videos on Youtube of this Augur and other electric Augers to learn tricks, etc. Populo’s reverse and forward buttons (the black ones on the side) have their own mind. Sometimes, they act as toggle buttons. Sometimes they work as stated. So every time, I have to check what the Auger is thinking now. Not a biggy, but a bit annoying.
Now, this review is only after a week. If this fails to operate within six months to a year, I will update the review. For now, I am pleased with my purchase.

This was awesome. Our house is older and we do run into occasional plumbing issues. Have been wanting something like this for years. This thing worked great. Our shower was backed up and we weren’t able to just clear the drain like normal. Put this in there and it cleared it up immediately. Highly recommend it. Totally avoided having to call a plumber and now we have it for future needs.

I blew a few dollars on the manual drain snakes from that big box store and all made me question life and why anyone would ever choose to plumb for a living. All of them are in a garbage dump somewhere. After pricing electric drain snakes and not being able to justify spending a mortgage payment for something I wouldn¡¯t use frequently (which says a lot since I justified buying most of the Makita LXT product line), I bought this puppy 9 months ago after reading some positive reviews. This was my first venture into buying way off-brand tools, but I¡¯d already spent way more than the asking price in useless manual drain augers and so I figured what the hell. If it managed to unclog one drain without me questioning life and covered in nastiness at the end of the experience, it would be money well spent. After it had been sitting on a shelf for months with zero use outside of charging the battery, I was forced to use it when the master bathroom sink stopped draining altogether and the plunger wouldn¡¯t free the clog. Unbelievably, the battery was still fully charged after 9 months. Even more unbelievable was the fact that this thing actually worked quite well. It shot down through the drain with ease before bringing back a massive hairball and I was like a kid on Christmas. I am so happy that I wrote this review.
Every American citizen should be given one of these at birth. Buy one.

My BF used this in my sink. He was AMAZING how easy is worked. Worked like a charm the first time. Definitely a must have for your home.
Tony –
I just purchased this plumbing snake and so far after one use I love it. The product seems to be very high quality and durable. I like that it has the automatic feature of powered forward and reverse, it makes the job of unclogging really easy! I would highly recommend.

Quick and handy for shower drain clogs and sink trap clogging. Easy to use and saves you from calling a plumber for an easy task.

I am very happy with my purchase of this drain snake. I had a manual one and it was awful. This is so easy and I am very glad I solved my drain issue with ease.
Tina Montoya –
There’s nothing worse than a clogged drain! I purchased this auger because I had a clogged drain and was charged $150.00(cash only) to get my shower declogged. The plumber cleared it in less than 10 minutes! Never again! The drain clogged again within a month! But by this time I had already purchased the Populo Auger. I could not believe how fast it worked!!! Thank you Populo Tools!

I am a professional plumber, I bought this particular product for cleaning A/C condensation lines and Trailer sinks. I was very impressed on how easy it was to use and how easy it was to clean on the reverse. I wish it came with more heads but it still does the job.
Courtney Johnson –
I used this on my toilet and it works but it kind of flimsy. I still had to have professionals come but for a small job it would probably work good

I had purchased a line snake to go on the end of my drill and it seemed to work once or twice, but it was difficult to operate without another set of hands. THIS tool took care of that problem. I’ve used commercial line snakes before, so I was familiar with the operation, however, I checked out the video anyway. Glad I did. It’s easy to operate by myself and has a nice even self-feed. It opened up my floor drain without an issue. I ran it through a few times just to make sure. Afterwards, I extended the cable and wiped it down to dry it out. There’s a plug in the “barrel” to drain any excess water from there. I highly recommend the drain & wipe procedure in order to lengthen the life of the tool. There is a disconnect on the cable right near the end, so you not only know when to stop the machine, but also to remove & replace the cable from that point. For just under $100 bucks, I’ve already saved at LEAST that much in plumber costs it’s first use.

I have not used it yet, but it looks good.
Hal Barrett –
Works very well much better than the kind that attaches to a drill definitely recommend
Robert Bruce –
This is a very good tool. Haven’t had it for long so can’t comment on how well it holds up over time, but it sure beats my many other snakes big time. Made the decision after paying a plumber to unclog a drain for more than I paid for this tool.

So easy to use. Best purchase ever!

My a/c evaporator drain gets clogged from time to time especially when I forget to bleach the drain regularly. I watched my plumber come out and use a similar tool to clean out my sink drain so I purchased this. Well, sure enough my a/c drain got clogged tonight so instead of panicking and calling a plumber or a/c repair guy I pulled this out and ran it down the drai three times and am nice and cool tonight without having g to pay a few hundred for a tech. It works perfectly and easily. I¡¯ll still need to remember to bleach my drain but will run this down every few months just to insure it¡¯s clear. What a great tool!!!
Paula Cadigan –
Just received the auger and looking forward to using it hopefully not too soon. We had a plumber come to remove clog from our tub however we thought it would be great to order one of these auger’s. I read the reviews and choose this one to purchase.
Mathew May –
Packaging is great and for a battery powered auger, you cannot beat the price. Most attractive drain auger on the market. Cleared a stubborn clog in minutes.

Tired of using a drill power snake? This thing is sweet, first use saved me hundreds$$. Only 5 minutes and drain is cleared. Auto feed in both directions, cable spins in either direction. Just make sure to drain and clean after every use if you want to keep cable in good shape. My friend bought one after seeing mine.

I absolutely love this piece of equipment. No more using a drill where you have to stop and adjust the auger. Way to time consuming. This unit works with ease. Read your instructions first and you won¡¯t have a problem. Used it on shower drain, bathroom sink and kitchen sink. Worked effortlessly. Would definitely recommend this product.
JULIO GONZALES –
I unclogged my shower and sink. It took out all the gunk.
Mr Lou Claire –
Nothing like coming home from a long day at work only to find one of the toilet lines totally clogged. No amount of plunging would free it up. I was not going to call a plumber again. It always well over 200 bucks. So we used the spare bathroom for a few day while we waited for the auger to be delivered. Using it was very easy. It took a few tries to get it past the toilet. So about 10 feet out i felt it hit. I ran it back and forth until it freed the blockage. This is a must own for any homeowner.

Our incompetent plumber made only straight and right angle turns of our sewage drain pipes to our septic system and consequently our toilets are very prone to clogging. Normally, our CO2 plunger unclogs them but it could not unclog the latest blockage so I ordered this battery powered augur and it worked, so its our new go-to tool for sewage blockages. Well worth the money.
Mark in Plano, TX –
I was a little concerned about battery life because it cannot be adapted with an external drill. The device worked fine though and we were able to use it a long time on multiple sinks.

I ordered this in Oct. 29/21 N delivered Sunday, Oct. 31/21, so fast. I charged the battery 2-3 hrs. to fully charged. I tested it Saturday, Nov. 6/21, it took me 10 mins. to get use to mechanics…so easy But I never tested it on actual clogged drain bcuz it wasn’t clogged. I can’t wait to use it….it’s a must to have it if you’re a homeowner….

It’s an awesome little tool and has plenty of power. I have used it on toilets. If you go slow you can get into the main sewer line. Unfortunately, I tried it on a shower drain which kinked the cable but it was my fault not the tools. I was disappointed that a replacement cable is 1/3 the price of the tool until I looked at replacement cables for other brands.
Roberta Johnson –
It’s a great tool, easy to use, and completed an issue in less than 5 minutes. Glad I purchased it.

I had a clog in my laundry sink. Drano or a plastic snake did not help. When this arrived. I have to admit, I was very skeptical about this product or any type of auger, wasn’t sure what to expect. Plumber was going to charge me close to $200 to do the same thing. I’m glad I bought this, it took a few tries in and out to get thru the p trap and wasn’t even sure it if I was doing it correctly. After 45min. the water miraculously started to drain. This most definitely saved me money and time.
Brian PropstTop Contributor: Soap Making –
I was very pleased with this unit. It has the auger, battery, and battery charger which is very much a plus. It is easy to use provided you keep the auger in the pipe. I have used it for several different applications and it has never let me down.

I¡¯ve used a Rigid electric auger for years but it became increasingly more difficult to advance the auger by squeezing the front clamps to put pressure on the angled rollers where it would hardly advance at all.
This unit with its battery power and shift selector was so easy to use and more importantly so effective. I¡¯ve thrown the other one away. This is now my go-to for clearing clogged pipes. A great tool.
Nathan Touhey –
This machine is very comparable to a Milwaukee or a Rigid, I’ve owned all different types of automatic drain cleaners and this on holds up better than any other one I’ve ever owned! And for 1/4 of the price! Nice tool.

My kitchen sink has been clogged for weeks. This drain auger, cleared a bunch of roots from the drain. It was easy to use. After breaking two manual snake drains for lack of experience of how to open the drain. This auger did the job and was preserved. The trick to me was once I hit a blockage whether moving forward or backwards, was to move the coil in the opposite direction for a bit then reverse it again to the previous direction. I was so relieved when a whole bunch of roots cam out from one area of the drain.

I paid over $400 for Korte Does It All to come out on a weekend and clean out my sewer line. They failed miserably and told me that for $5000 they could replace my entire line all the way to the city hook-up. I bought this little tool and had my sewer working after only an hour or two.

The augur comes complete with gloves (which are important) and excellent instructions. I used it twice to clear blockages in my kitchen sink. The second time, I wasn’t careful enough and kinked the cable. Fortunately, it’s replaceable for about 1/3 the cost of the whole unit.

It paid for itself the first time I used it to unclog a shower water exit line which took about 15 – 20 min (The cost of a plumber’s visit is around $90 where I live). It seems to be solidly built and effective. The instructions are clear – be sure to read them before use.

An unexpected tropical downpour and a clogged terrace drain on our penthouse terrace caused a very quick and unexpected bathtub that within minutes was running under our doors and threatening the properties below us. Thankfully I recalled buying this auger, pulled it out of the box for its first use and had 20 feet of snake deployed in moments. The water was so backed up that it took several minutes for the four inch drain to clear the terrace even without obstructions. Can’t imagine how much this small investment saved in damages.

After using various drain cleaners was impressed with how easily it worked without putting much effort. By turning it without forcing it cleared my bathroom sink fast as other rodders got jammed and I struggled to get out after they got stuck in the pipes. Recommend while in there go in and out at least 3x’s to give drain a good clearance that will last a while. It even has reverse for easy removal.
Definitely would buy again and recommend!
Skip Somers –
Using this device is not as straightforward as one may believe. You cant just feed the line down a sink or toilet, without first knowing something about plumbing. As far as the device itself, it is fairly lightweight, has a decent drive motor, and a good battery that will get a fair amount of jobs done. It is as good as a Rigid, or Milwaukee? No. Those are different level machines. This is good for the occasional hairball or grease clog, not for heavy duty use. If well maintained and kept clean, it will last a long time.

Perfect solution for minor drain clogs,Every homeowner should have one. Normally I don’t write reviews but this was worth my time to do so. The cable end likely won’t fit down most drain openings so disassembling the p-trap on sinks and tubs is your only challenge if you have never done that. Easy to use, drain cleared in minutes, my daughters like to clean their hair brushes in the sink and the old plumbing doesn’t enjoy that…so dad to the rescue. I’ve used the small manual auger s but they’re a pain , renting larger machines from your local hardware isn’t so easy as they are heavy. So add this to your list of must haves for the home it’s worth it and pays for itself in one use given cost of a plumber to do the job.
Joseph W. Humphreys –
Great handyman tool to have around the house . Easy to use and works well even on the tuff stuff. Great price and it paid for itself with one use.
joe easley –
this thing is perfect for the reason that i am limited mobility and dont have 2 hands to feed the cable out and twist the cable down the pipes i can feed out a few feet at a time pull the trigger and push the cable down the drain until i hit the clog and then flip the switch to auto feed the cable back into the drum.

Easy to use! i live in a old farmhouse, and the drains “clog up” every 8 to 12 months, (well water with lots of calcium) Plumber costs me a minimum of $140.00, decided to bight the bullet and am very glad I did. cost me less than $90. and its here for the next time. only Complaint is battery doesn’t show level of charge, but i just plugged it into the charger and 30-40 minutes later the charger light came on it was full. Will update in future. but this time. saved me $.

Worked flawlessly where the hand crank did not. Had a 10ft down clog, nasty work but it does a great job at it.

While I haven’t used it to clear a toilet or drain yet, I tested it out of the box (after charging the battery) and it’s a solid piece of equipment.

David Bradford –
I purchased this after the plunger failed to clear a toilet blockage. The first 3 or 4 feet were the most difficult to feed but after that the snake went forward when set to forward. After about 3 feet it automatically fed the snake to its full length of 25 feet. In the retrieve position the full 25 feet of the snake wound itself up in short order. I immediately flushed the toilet to test if it had worked. At that time, the toilet would not drain. I called several local plumbers and they could not come out for some time. After a few hours I returned to the bathroom to brush my teeth and noticed that the toilet had drained. I flushed it and the toilet drained perfectly. Wait a few hours before calling a plumber. Also, the battery is 2000 mah or 2 AMPS. It could use a more powerful battery or a spare battery.

Paid $140 to a plumber to snake my toilet and barely decreased the clog. Said it would be $250 more to actually get at it, because I needed to remove the toilet. With the sink and tub right next to it, knew the clog had to be right past the toilet. Got this DO NOT FORGET THE 3 FOOT PVC PIPE and was able to pull an action figure and a bunch of paper towels out. Was cheaper than a plumber, did a better job and now have a tool for when it happens again.
Rose Jones –
I am very pleased with this product! I bought it because my kitchen sink and my bathtub was not draining properly. It would take hours for my sink to drain.

I did not have to pay a plumber to do this simple task. This product is definitely worth it!!!

I have a manual Drain Auger before, about 20 feet. It worked in the beginning, but it cannot remove the clog in my kitchen pipe finally. I tried twice, but not worked. So I want to buy an electric one, but my wife was against it, and she thought we should find a plumber to fix it (I guess it will cost $200~300). So I gave this product a try: easy to use, looks sturdy, the most important thing, it works.

First off, I discovered that you can purchase this same tool, $15.00 cheaper, through Harbor Freight, under the BAUER brand name, where as POPULO is the brand name sold on amazon..
Either way, this is one of those tools that you may never use every day, but when you need it, it certainly is nice to have it¡. So, a couple of things I discovered while using mine right out of the box..
My first thought was, I wished they had used a larger gauge cable because it seemed to be somewhat inadequate when you hit an obstruction.. (Then I realized that a larger cable would only add significantly to the difficulty of pushing it though any tight bends, like P traps, etc.)
Now comes the important part; when you DO hit a blockage, immediately shift the tool into its neutral position.. (this is the position of the top handle between forward and reverse) this will allow you to repeatedly poke, by pushing and retracting the cable by hand, at the obstruction until it either grabs ahold of it, or finally pokes through it.. This will also prevent the cable from feeding out beyond your ability to keep it moving forward and getting all snarled-up, possibly even kinking the cable¡.
Once you feel it has either worked the blockage free, or poked through it, you then shift the tool back into its forward or reverse gear, and continue to whatever point you feel is sufficient¡ Working the tool in this manner is also simplified by having a second person to help. My wife, of over 50-years now, has ALWAYS been my greatest asset, my best second set of hands, and is an excellent operator/supervisor who always makes any process much faster and ten-times easier¡ (after all, Four-hands are always much more efficient/effective than Two..)
You also may want to remember to have Safety-Glasses, Gloves, Several Paper Towels/Shop Rags available, along with a Small Trash Can with a Throw-Away Plastic Bag Liner and a Razor-Blade Type Knife.. These are to cut off and remove any hair or other obstruction, and throughly Clean and Dry the Cable Off, BEFORE retracting it back into the Drum, etc.
Another trick I came up with is: if or when you end up getting hair caught up in the lengths of the cable¡ (Always wanting to keep my tools looking like new) I use my Bernzomatic Hand Torch, on its Lowest Setting, to Burn-Off all of this unwanted hair, making sure not to apply too much heat to the cable and also making sure that is NOT HOT prior to retracing it back into the plastic drum¡.
(SLOW is the best policy.. The key here is NOT to be in a hurry and stay focused on being SAFE..)
NOTE.
You can change the FORWARD or REVERSE direction TWO-DIFFERENT WAYS; First, by pushing or pulling the top handle, NEUTRAL will obviously be the point between these two positions..
Second, is the PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH, located on either side, just above the trigger, which also will change the cable direction..
Keep it mind that you can also feather the control of the cable speed, by the amount of pressure you apply or release to the trigger itself, giving you the additional control that you just might require¡
As for my First time using this tool; almost 20-years ago I updated my old bath tub drain from the typical 1-1/2¡± to a much more generous 3¡± PVC shower drain, thinking I will NEVER need to clean this drain again, especially since it immediately drops directly into the 4¡± main sewer line¡. well, after pulling a two-decade, tangled-bundle of hair, the size of a small rat out of my 3¡± shower drain, I was, to say the least, pretty impressed with this little drain cleaner, and am thankful to add it to my tool collection¡
