Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Very disappointed. I bought this plunger based on the excellent reviews it has received but must say that I am extremely disappointed in its quality, build, and performance. Unlike other plungers I have owned, the walls of this plunger are too thin and flimsy to retain their shape when the plunger is used. Instead, the walls of the plunger bell 'collapse' and do not rebound to their original position unless you strike the bell against the inside walls of the toilet This greatly slows down unclogging the toilet, since you have to take the time to 'uncollapse' the bell before you can push down on the plunger again. The thin and flimsy walls of the bell also mean that the plunger cannot generate as much power as others I have used with thicker and sturdier walls. I have had this the above problems before, but usually with plungers with bells that are made of flimsy plastic. Additional Comments - July 9,2018 ____________________________ I'd like to thank the people who too the time to comment on my review of this product. In response to these reviews, I made sure that that bell was as full as possible with water and although his helps somewhat with reducing the bell flipping inside out, it does not totally eliminate the problem. The bell is still subject to flipping inside out. In addition, the bell is about 8 inches or so high, and unless the toilet is filled to the top with water, you will have trouble filling the bell with enough water to provide resistance to flipping inside out. Also, sometimes, the toilet is not filled with a lot of water when clogged, either because some of the water has drained down on its own or because prior plunging with this device has lowered the water level but has not completely cleared the clog. Sometimes, you need to use a plunger when there is hardly any water in the toilet and this plunger will readily collapse under this situation. I have had other plungers in the past that were of much sturdier construction with much thicker and stronger walls, so that when there was virtually no water in the toilet, I could forcefully and repeatedly plunge to dislodge the clog without the bell collapsing and flipping inside out. Sometimes it would be the repeated 'suction' created by the plunger in a toilet bowl with almost no water that would free the clog. I cannot achieve the same results with this Korky plunger. . Also, this plunger does not work very well on my Toto toilet which has an elongated outlet at the bottom. The bell does not completely cover the elongated outlet and thus does not provide a tight and secure seal for plunging. In addition, a lot of water (and debris) is retained in the bell when you remove the plunger from the toilet outlet. This means you have to wait about 5 seconds or so for the water and the debris (which can be repulsive) to drain out of the bell before you can lift the plunger out of the toilet, else you risk creating a mess on your bathroom floor. Sometimes, after draining the contents retained in the bell into the toilet, you need to flush the toilet again to discharge it and to fill again with clean water and repeatedly 'dunk' the bell into the toilet water to clean it out.
