I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My tub was draining slow and I poured a cup full of drano and let it sit about and hour and rinsed with hot water and it unclogged immediately. I would recommend buying this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As instructed, poured half the container into my shower. Waited 30 minutes. Didn't clear drain. Waited for bath to slowly drain after 15 minutes and poured the other half of Draino Gel in. Waited another 30 minutes and did no result or improvement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Will never buy this product again - Waste of money and Time

Usually use a plunger to unclog my bathroom sink but unfortunately, it did not work. Decided to use draino instead. Came back to my sink in 15 minutes to see just draino sitting in it. Came back after 15 more minutes and nothing has changed. Added in hot water to the stagnant draino and had to physically use a cup and scoop the draino (with gloves) to remove. Called my plumber and they wouldnt even come until the 2 next day because draino was in the pipes. Honestly, more of a hastle than any actual use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best drain cleaner

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I don't have a garbage disposal in my kitchen sink, so generally I tried to avoid food going down the drain. However when doing dishes it's inevitable, so every once in a while when draining is slow, I treat my sink with drain opener gel. Drano is my go-to brand because it's the most powerful and effective at clearing slow drainage and clogs. This bottle is just the right size for me, and because it's powerful, I only need to use half a bottle or less.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Repeated steps again and again, end up dumping entire 80 oz. bottle in the drain and still nothing after couple of hours watching and praying

Should have read reviews before buying!

Drano has always been our "Go To" product for clogs. What happened? It does not unclog the bathroom sink. I went to website for money back guarantee. That's where I read all the negative reviews. Also, the form to fill out for the guarantee timed out on me four times. I was not going to prove that I was not a robot AGAIN! I am very disappointed in Drano.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

George, we are so sorry to hear this! Typically, Drano® is very effective at clearing clogs caused by hair, soap scum and grease. After using twice, we would recommend contacting a plumber as the clog may be too far down for Drano® to reach. We'd be more than happy to help you out. At your convenience, please give us a ring at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays 8 AM to 5 PM CT) and provide reference number 020872142A. We look forward to your call! - Rachel, SC Johnson Consumer Care

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This drain gel works great to clear up a clogged sink and get things running smoothly again! It's easy to use and also very quick. Does exactly as expected.
