Title: I WAS SKEPTICAL BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS VERY WELL
Content: My husband was complaining about my long hair quickly causing the shower/tub drain to drain slowly and he was having to clean the drain a lot. His short hair never caused this problem before we started sharing a shower. I also use a very emollient body wash which I believe tends to adhere to the hair going down the drain making things more gunky. I thought this device probably wouldn’t stay in place and might let hair slip under it and down into the drain anyway. Although it says “ weighted” , it’s not very heavy. And the edges don’t really suction to the tub. But, despite that I was pleasantly surprised! I have used it 3 or 4 times now and even though the water from the tub spout hits directly against it, it didn’t move. Yes the tub does drain more slowly within a few minutes as the hair and lotion like body was start collecting around this device. But I find that after I turn off the shower and wrap my hair in a towel and dry off and put on my robe, and put away my toiletries, the tub has drained just fine. And this device catches an AMAZING amount of hair. If any gets through, it couldn’t be much. And the slimy body wash has accumulated too. I just pick it up and get a paper towel and wipe everything off and into the trash. The hair catcher is clean and dry ready for next time. I don’t leave it in the shower because my husband doesn’t need it and there’s no point to leaving it wet to get gunky. I think cleaning it each time is crucial. Otherwise it collects so much hair and stays wet which gets gross fast. It will also last longer if it is cleaned after every “long hair” use. My hair is barely on top of my shoulders and not very thick. I think this would be a life saver if you have long thick hair or multiple longer hair users in your home.
Title: The suction power has become it's greatest weakness
Content: As a woman who grew up with 4 sisters, I really wish we had this growing up to avoid the "shame snake" we had to use when our drain inevitably clogged with the most vile hairballs. The removable center piece captures hair far more effectively than I originally believed it would. The hair easily comes away from the center post and now I don't have to dread cleaning the shower. The only ding against the product is that the shower doesn't drain as fast with the drain protector in place. It's not so bad that water pools at my feet, but enough to know almost instantly when it's time to clean out the catch. Additionally the base that sits in the drain has a phenomenal suction...that causes the smallest pool water retained water to sit in the tub. Easy fix, just pop up the catch and the water drains right down, but if you have a weirdness with stagnant water, you've been warned. Overall - still a total game changer, and so much cleaner to empty than other drain catches I've used. Would buy again.
Title: PERFECT! Easy to use and really works!
Content: The most popular drain hair catcher works well if you only want to shower, but won’t let you close a drain for a bath. That should be a crime! I just got rid of the lever type drain opener that kept sticking and had it replaced with a pop-up drain. Perfect for long, hot baths! This is easy to plop on top of the drain when I wash my hair. It stays in place, and doesn’t hurt if I kick or step on it. Best of all it collects all of the hair I shed!
Title: Very good hair catcher
Content: Sturdy, easy to use as it sits on top of the drain, stays in place, easy to clean.
Title: Cumple bien con sus caracteristicas
Content: Artículo tal cual se muestra en la foto
Title: Erfüllt seinen Zweck perfekt
Content: Verrutscht in der Wanne nicht und fängt alle Haare ab während das Wasser gut abläuft. Das Produkt ist gut zu reinigen ohne das es nach Monaten abgenutzt wirkt, klare Kaufempfehlung!
Title: Ajuda a filtrar cabelos
Content: Ajuda a recolher mais cabelos para não passarem pelo ralo. Adapta-se ao ralo do poliban que tem um rede circular (pouco eficaz) elevada. Uso em conjunto com OXO Good Grips Colador de desagüe de acero inoxidable para bañeras e em cojunto ajudam a reduzir bastante os cabelos que passam. Mesmo envitando que a maioria do cabelo vá para o ralo ao final de 2 a 3 usos é necessário remover os cabelos ou deixa de ter drenagem eficaz de água.
Title: Funziona benissimo
Content: Utilissimo. Blocca tutto ciò che potrebbe intasare i tubi. I capelli rimangono incastrati e non scendono nello scarico. Si pulisce facilmente e non crea ristagni d’acqua. Per la mia esigenza (il tappo dello scarico non si può togliere) la sua forma e’ perfetta.
