Surfer Dude –
My bathroom sink has been backed up for a few months. I can only run the water for about 10 seconds until it fills up and drains super slow. I purchased the gun that blasts air down the pipes, which helped a little bit, then about a week later it started draining slow again. I tried liquid drain cleaners, as well as a hand held snake that I spin the drum by hand, which kept getting kinked up every time it hits a turn. It also got stuck a few times and I had a tough time pulling it out. The cable on the hand held was unusable when it came out as it was kinked up really bad. I was looking online at electric drain cleaners. I saw some cordless ones that came with a battery and charger, but nothing beats consistent 120v power! I saw one at Harbor Freight tools, which is this same one under a different name. It was priced about $25 higher (the specifications, design, and controls are identical). My sink has been backed up this long, so I can wait a day or two and save some money by ordering this one. I ordered it on Saturday night and it arrived on Monday morning. After I got home from work, I unboxed it, read the instructions for the controls and then attacked the clogged sink. This cleaner has a LOT more power than I expected. I was actually very light on the throttle due to the amount of power. The snake self-fed over and under the sink trap and worked its way around the pipes inside the wall. I hit some stoppage and I just reversed the snake and gave it more throttle as I went forward and it just muscled its way through. This happened a few times. This was the only time I gave it more throttle power. I fed all 25 ft. of cable. I put it in reverse and it began to self-feed its way back in. There was some tension, but the power this has, it was no problem. There was very minimal hair at the end of the bulb head, but when it hit the stoppage, I’m positive that it pushed all of it out. I ran the water for a couple of minutes and it kept draining faster than the water could fill. I also put the sink stopper down and let the sink fill up and released the stopper, the water drained super fast. I haven’t seen this sink drain this fast in a long time. All of this only took about 10 minutes. The cost of this tool was cheaper than calling a plumber and I get to own the tool! I wish I would’ve found this sooner, I wouldn’t have spent so much time and money with all the liquid drain cleaners, air blasting gun, and hand held snake.

It looks heavy duty but haven’t used it uet.

I tried one of those hand turn augers and got no place. Those 2 attempts took about 15 or 20 messy minutes each. The kitchen drain was plugged 8 or 9 feet down. It took all of about 5 minutes to clear the line with this, and no mess. Reversing the drill reverses the forward and backward movement of the snake. The tool is marked for running the drill clockwise. This is not a problem since that is the normal way the drill should be run for both advancing and withdrawing the snake. The only time I ran the drill counterclockwise is to unscrew the end of the snake past the restriction at the top of the drain. The tool has a vent hole on the drum which should be removed after use. There is a keeper on the power cord for the vent hole plug. The vent hole plug requires 3/16 inch Allen wrench which was not supplied for my unit (not a problem in my case). If you don’t have Allen wrenches you might think about getting a set. It was fast, easy to use, and I don’t have another set of batteries to keep track of. I am very satisfied.

Like everything about it. Maybe better directions on best way to use it. I watched you tube etc. but I am not a plumber and still not 100 percent up to speed on proper use and what not to do with the tool. I used it twice so far clean a toilet drain and a shower drain and it did the job unplugged both
Philip G. Hampton –
It’s heavy duty and real easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone.
mark –
It did the job for me twice already the stinky plumber charged me 100 per service call so after 2 uses it pay by itself and i did a better job according to my wife
Wendy Wilson –
We loved how quickly this works and how much pipe it covers! Had some difficulties figuring some aspects out but the handbook helped!
freakmeister –
The product worked well for us. We were having a problem with slow bathroom sink drainage. We tried liquid drain cleaners and even hand rodded it with a crummy drain snake from a hardware store. Finally we looked to Amazon and read reviews and debated the price vs. a plumber. We opted to buy this product. It did the job. We had to wait about a week for it to ship from California, but it was worth it . Now, if we should need this again, we will have our own drain rodder. Thanks!

Amazon Customer –
Save a lot of money renting this tool in stores
Feifei –
As soon as I got this baby, I could not wait to open it since my bathroom sink had been blocked for couples of days and it annoyed me a lot. I read all the instructions, which is easy to understand. Then I started to clear the blockage in my bathroom, it was so easy to operate that it took me only like 5 minutes to clear the blockage. It was really out of my expectation. Thanks!
Kengineer –
Got this today. First – read the directions. Follow the steps. Had to run it through twice, but got it cleared. Was deeper than I thought. Saved $150 easily (first use!). This and no sweat to run. It does all the work. Took about 20 minutes. Had some issues with a gift to get a free extra cable. I emailed support, and they helped and are sending the extra free cable. Was nice that they responded and replied to my questions.
Steven Berg –
Good price on this top snake!
Amazon Customer –
The cost of this tool was cheaper than calling a plumber and I get to own the tool! I wish I would’ve found this sooner, I wouldn’t have spent so much time and money with all the OTC unclogging products that never seem to work.
David C. Pheanis –
I was impressed that the package included a carrying bag and even a pair of gloves. Be sure to read the user’s guide because the proper way to use the tool is not obvious. Follow the instructions for unlocking the lock ring and keeping the Rotation Direction Switch in the L position. The R position is for use ONLY momentarily to relieve cable tension, and running the tool in the R position can damage the cable. I don’t have a clogged drain right now, but this tool looks like a vast improvement over my old manual snake.
Amazon Customer –
Good product. Came quick and worked well.
Jerry McKoy –
Looking forward to using this.
~TomC. –
Great Tool! I just received my Populo Snake. I was very Impressed with the fit and feel. Has some weight to it. Nothing cheap about it. Simple packaging, well protected, but I doubt if it were dropped 10 or 15 times I would even know it! Very well built.
I did a dry run with it to be sure I understand how to use it, and to be sure everything works as it should. I purchased it because the plumber I called 3 days before used it and cleared our drain Iess than 5mins. He was using the same tool. The only difference was, I had to pay him 4times what it cost to purchase this tool.
I wish I could share my experiences with unclogging our drain myself, but I can¡¯t. But like death and taxes it will happen again.

Robert Wong –
Came already assembled and ready to go. Fast delivery.
M. Fazio –
So far it was used once and cleared everything immediately worked great I would recommend this tool so much better then others
Rachel Aitkenhead –
This is a substantial tool with a powerful motor. I don’t have an inspiring success story yet, but I have at least made a difference in two very slow drains. I plan to repeat procedures when the tool is back in service. This will have to wait because the auger head DID get badly stuck in the second drain. Trying to back it out under power, the snake broke off, still stuck in the pipe. Hours later I finally got lucky and extracted the broken snake using vise grips. I do not regard the incident as the tool’s fault because getting a drain snake stuck is always a risk to be weighed. I can recommend it, but do understand the tool and respect the power. Note: instruction booklet has very tiny print.
Lynn Cicchirillo –
I was very satisfied with the product. It was easy to use. I got it on sale for $80 and I it would have cost me a lot more to hire a plumber.
David G. Smith –
Best drain cleaner on the truck. Works properly and quickly where other stuff has multiple requirements. Does not do damage to plastic plumbing parts! That is SIGNIFICANT!

Great tool and an even better company! Would definitely recommend it!
Jeff Selby –
I have been hobbling around after ankle surgery for over 2 months when my shower drain clogged so I decided to order this little unit after throwing away enough money on liquid drain cleaners to almost pay for it. So I had my wife set a chair next to the tub as soon as it was delivered and i had the drain free flowing in about 10 minutes. Very easy to use and it has already paid for itself by not having to call a Plumber out.
Optimus Prime –
Works great. Feed is a little slow, but its effortless.
Linda T –
Product is really easy to use. However, I was cleaning out a drain and the wire broke. I was able to retrieve the broken length. I was really impressed with it until the snake broke.

The tool works perfect. It took me longer to carry the snake from the car than it did to clear the drain. I gave it 4 stars because the LED light is worthless. It’s just a dull glow.
Roger T. –
Non of the chemical drain cleaners worked. I was able to open the clog with the Populo Electric drain cleaner but I had to do it twice. I guess the debris from the sneak clogged it again but it’s draining freely now.
Melanie –
I bought this for a gift for my 91 year old grandpa. He loved it and couldn¡¯t stop telling everyone about it. It was just what he needed he said.
Allison –
Very good, came with everything on picture
Ron R. –
It looks well build. And so far, it’s worked great.
Evan –
I¡¯m really impressed by the power of the tool. After weeks of messing around with other products, I bought myself this auger. Read the instructions carefully as you could easily jam the auger. With a little bit of patience, you can learn how to use this thing correctly. It took me about 30 minutes to clean out a very stubborn clog deep in my sink drain pipes. Better than waiting for weeks for a plumber! Also I would recommend this over the battery powered option as it just has more power and you don¡¯t have to worry about charging it up. Anytime I¡¯m doing plumbing in the house, I am near a plug anyway
Brandon –
It is very simple to use and good quality.

Cleaning out septic lines. Slow controlled feed was easy to handle. Cable did not bind and kink.

I was frustrated with the hand held manual rooter, tried to clean a tough clog with the manual rooter first, it did not work. This product arrive today and I tried to use it to remove the nasty clog under my bathroom sink. Worked liked a charm, of course one has to be mindful that tough clogs need forward and backward spins to be able to reliably remove the hairs that make to the lower end of the sink outlet in the wall, this product did the right thing, collected all the hair as needed.
Vincent526 –
I bought this product to clean a sub pump drain clog caused by roots, worked great, So glad I purchased it. Will be handy when other clogs show up.
catherine s. –
This is my second 1 after much use and abuse my fist one broke .I quickly ordered another one . After trying everything else this is the only thing stopping me from Calling the plumber weekly. Thank you so much for making a great product ‘
Amazon Customer –
Very easy to feed down the pipes. Nice to have the drill attached instead of at snakes with my own drills. The product arrived with a bent plug and a dirty storage storage bag, but I got it to work after bending back the plug and the dirty bag is not a big deal as I am not displaying it for guests. Didn¡¯t have time to request and wait for a replacement. I needed to snake a shower drain ASAP. I cleared out several other drains in the house since I had the snake out and dirty. Will use it to clear some pipes in an investment property before they get backed up by guests. Better to keep things cleared out than wait for an emergency block.
JS –
Awesome tool!

The Drain Cleaner Handheld Electric Corded Snake worked very well on a clog that was down at the first 90 degree turn under the house in the crawl space. It paid for itself on its first use. The controls are easy to understand and use. My only complaint is that the “R” and “L” button located near the trigger is too easily pressed by accident. The instructions say if it pressed in “R” for reverse for too, long more than a few seconds, the motor can be damaged. I was taking care not to press this switch but still did for more than a few seconds by accident while trying to concentrate on clearing the clog. No damage was done to the motor. My recommendation is the manufacturer should redesign the product in the future and recess this switch under a switch guard bezel and make it take more force to press it in. However, I would still highly recommend this product. It works well and is easy to use and maintain.

I unstopped my toilet easily. Then I tackled my girlfriends sink, it had been stopped up for 2 years!! It worked!
D.B. –
I purchased this in desperation after my so-called plumbing emergency service plan was unable to find a plumber to come out to unclog my toilet (for three weeks!). Given the option of finding one myself and paying upwards of $300 and waiting six weeks for reimbursement, I figured I would try this out. Wondering now why I waited. After a friend showed me how it works, I plugged it in, extended the augur enough to be down into the water, and turned it on. It wiggled its way down the trap with minimal assist from me, and when I figured it had gone far enough, I retracted it and out came the offending (but, blessedly, not offensive, item). I tell you, it’s a positive pleasure to feel fairly confident that everything is going to flush completely, and not to have to use the powder room in the basement several times a day. I did, however, decide not to re-use the toothbrush I retrieved 😉

The rodder works great and is real easy to use. It unclogged my tub in just a couple minutes. Great product!

Whenever the water in the bathtub slowly went down, I used it with a toilet plunger, but in a few months, that happened again. For a fundamental solution, I was looking for tools from Amazon, bought a Populo Drain Auger, did as the instructions, the water immediately flowed down without stayed, resulting in a great result at a good price.
Parallax100 –
I read good things about the Harbor Freight version, but they were out of stock. Based on price, I bought the Xtremepower version on Amazon. But they shipped me a used unit with a stuck snake. So I sent that back.
With an online coupon, this Populo version wound up being about $10 higher than Harbor Freight, but it comes with a really nice bag and a set of utility gloves which do not get snagged on the rotating snake line. But the main thing is that it really works well! You need to read instructions: The Forward/Reverse switch near the trigger should stay in “F” position: Feeding and retrieving the snake is done with the F-O-R switch at the front of the machine (integrated with the front handle).
I had a basement utility sink backed up, and I spent more than an hour trying to clear it with a manual drum fed snake. No dice. Just a good workout, but stuck sink.
This Populo auger cleared the line (through the sink drain opening) in about ten minutes. When you hit resistance, instead of continuing to feed the snake, put the front handle in neutral (“0”) position and just let it run. The auger head will drill itself into the blockage. Patience. Let the machine do the work.
My only hitch is that there was an X-brace across the drain opening I was working on. The auger went in easily (wide spiral at the tip), but it was tough getting the head out of the drain. Turning and yanking with pliers eventually did the trick, but that was the hardest part of the job. My fault, not Populo’s.
Easily highly recommended.
Steve in Burien –
Solid, heavy machine that works great. The wife is very happy with her ‘new sink’.

Works exactly as advertised! Highly recommend!
Vanessa Soto –
My father has been in the plumbing industry for many years, and I figured he could have a use for something like this. I’ve heard him talking about how certain drains can be difficult to clear out, so I looked for something that would make his job a little bit easier. Long story short, he really likes the drain cleaner. He said he was impressed with how efficient it was and how simple the instructions were. I’m glad this purchase was a good one! Thanks Populo Tools!

Fiddled around for hours with several different hand-operated drain snakes with no success. This power auger worked beautifully – all done in 5 minutes! Powerful, but easily controlled. Very happy with this product.
Larry H. –
I had a “pro” try to open a blocked drain and a week later it was blocked again. I looked into buying my own Drain Auger and chose the Populo 23′ electric model. I received it today, took about 5 minutes to figure out how to use it and then used it for about 15 minutes and cleared the drain. This thing was great and cost me less to purchase than to call a local plumber for a one-shot visit!
Great product, thank you!!

Bathroom Tub drain Line was plugged. Unplugged line very quickly. Well made product!
Ben –
I clean quite a bit of tub drains out. This thing is very easy to use and nice to hold unlike the last cleaner I had. The only issue I have with this one is sometimes the reverse doesn’t work right – it turns but will not go back into the drum. I found out if I run the drill in reverse and then switch directions on the lever, it will start to go back in, then I just run the drill in forward and continue putting the cable back in. This thing works so good on clearing clogs I wouldn’t call this issue a deal breaker at all. This product is great.
