Drain strainer not easy to remove hair
Bought this drain strainer without reading reviews as I needed a plug hole strainer with next day delivery as I couldn't go out to buy one for a few days and this was the only one that looked like what I required and next day delivery was available. Not good product. Firstly it doesn't "stick" to the bath. I don't know if it would be any good as a bath plug as I only used for hair catcher in shower. It does catch the long hair (so good in that way) but when you try to remove the hair, it was very difficult as it was all wrapped around the centre. You couldn't just "slip" the hair out, you had to untangle and pull at the hair to get it loose enough to pull over the top. Very impractical. I'm having to use it until I can find a replacement either at the shops or on Amazon. But next time it will be a drain strainer that is JUST a strainer that you can empty with a little tap. Waste of over £6 plus next day delivery charge on top. Serves me right though. Don't buy on impulse just because you can get it next day. Read the reviews (negative and positive) beforehand so at least you know what your paying for.

Not great in action.
Looked great was really happy until I actually used the product, yes it catches my hair, but then when hair is caught In it the water will not drain out of shower. Also once hair is in it, it proves very difficult to remove as hair gets jammed in metal bit at top which pinches the pieces of rubber togethor.

Useful little gadget
After having ongoing issues with sink plugs on chains, due to plugs not being water tight, or chains being unsuitable for the task in hand and continually breaking, I ordered this handy gadget - which mimics the modern style plugs found inbuilt into many sinks. The gadget is totally water tight and easy to release. The only reason for giving the product 4* out of 5 is due to the design of the gadget which does not allow all the water to drain, so you have to take the gadget out of the drain hole to allow the remaining 1 cm of water to drain away. Other than that, it's a useful little gadget.

Does what it says at a reasonable price!
The mechanism on my metal bath plug had stopped working and it would not raise, so it was very difficult to empty the bath. This has replaced it very well, with the added bonus that it also traps hair while the water is emptying.

They don't work.
Nice idea but they don't work! There is always dirty water remaining in the sink as the catcher does not lie flush with the plug hole. thre is a 1mm lip. This I think is a fundamental flaw.

Sleek and easy to install
This shelf is great. Provided the surface is smooth and clean when you install, allow time for the bond to build before loading and that you occasionally tighten the screws, this shelf will stay put under reasonable loads. I wouldn’t expect it to hold more than two salon-size shampoo/conditioner bottles and that might be pushing it - mine currently holds two standard shampoo bottles, face wash, loofah and razor without any problems.

Used for bathroom sink
Our chrome push plug seized up, so I had to remove it completely, I was worried when I purchased this give the curve of the basin around the plug hole and the fact the plug hole is quite close to the back of the basin, so it’s not a flat surface for the rubber plug to form a seal, that it would not work.I was pleasantly surprised that it formed a seal with the curve of the sink perfectly! No water leaking past it, easy to ping the plug up to drain then I rinse it off under the tap, great product!

Works really well - bit of a pain to clean
I have long hair which sheds like crazy so keeping the bath drain clean has always been an issue. I have tried all sorts of different drain stoppers, this has worked the best by far. However, cleaning it can be a bit of a pain as hairs get stuck under the little metal bit and are impossible to remove. This is not visible from the top though so as long as you are happy with it never being 100% hair free, go for it as it does work exceptionally well.
