Just moved in to a new house and needed to clear the sink

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019

My wife turned up with some bio-type sink unblocker that was so safe you could almost drink it. It was meant to eat away at the sludge blocking a couple of our plug holes in our new house, but it was useless. So I turned to Amazon and got this. I only really wanted 2 or 3, but for the price, I figured a 6 pack would always come in. Anyway, that night I poured 2 down the 2 sinks and in the morning I flushed them away and they had worked a treat.

No more slow draining sinks. And I have 3 left to fight another day.

3 I hear you say, but you only used 2. Yes and no. Almost as soon as I poured one down the sink just as I went to bed, my son decided now would be the time to clean his teeth and flush it all away. So one sink took 2 shots.

Just bear that in mind!! :)

Not sure how many bottles are needed but one doesn't solve any issues

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2021

As many modern flats, our pipework is beyond poor.
After a couple months, toilet sink and shower sink drains water really slowly mainly due to soap and hair residue building up - some can be cleaned manually and some other I guess gets stuck on the pipe's elbow causing not a full blockage but enough to slow things down.
Decided to give this product a go, following instructions of using a whole bottle overnight and then running hot water the morning after. The very same hot water the morning after got stuck. Thought maybe this is how it works, maybe the product has built up some sort of gel the water will dissolve and then the blockage will be gone? Nothing further from the truth. It took about a minute for the sink to drain the water and then a few minutes later that morning after brushing my teeth I could see that a whole bottle, a lot of hot water and the money invested had all gone down the sink. The product is useless or maybe it works for some minimal soap / hair build up one could pick up with a brush or the fingers. It doesn't work for something a bit more serious so will save my money and perhaps call a plumber.

OK i cant fault the product or how effective it is at unblocking drain pipes because I have never had an actual blockage however, there are many similar products on the market claiming to unblock pipes and they are probably as effective as each other. What I will say about Buster is they are easy to use and will help to keep pipes running freely. The best way to clear pipes is to undo them by hand and clean in hot soapy water in a bowl remembering how to reassemble them. I have used this product before and then undone the plastic pipes and found them to be narrowed by grease and gunk. Also I am not sure about the enviromnental impact of using these products. If you follow the manufacturers recommendations of using this stuff weekly in ALL of your plugholes, which in my case would be 6 then I would soon be broke. It would work out at nearly £7 a week-don't think i will be doing that.

Proper Job

Did exactly what it's designed to do. Always keep a spare bottle at hand for those hair plugs. Simple, pour down the drain (Run hot water first so that water in the trap is hot, then pour down and leave alone for 15 - 60 mins). Depending on the plug it may take a while. My boyfriend loves my long hair till it's plugged down the drain.

Effective

This is really effective in tackling stubborn bathroom drains.

Our sons accessibility shower doesn't have a filter on the plug hole and over time gets blocked by soap build up and hair etc.

I pop this in and leave it a few hours then rinse through with a jug of warm water and back to new again.

Does the job

Squirted it down a sink blocked with hair. Smells very strongly of caustic chemicals, just like you want! None of your wimpy rubbish! After 6 hours, I put a plunger to it, and sink drained in a couple of pushes. Can't exactly say which did the job, but a cheap Amazon sink plunger, plus this, were very satisfactory. Worth keeping in the house, though away from children.

One disadvantage is they won't deliver to an Amazon locker, I suppose because of the strong chemicals. They deliver to a house OK, I just like the lockers.

Works very well

Item Package Quantity: 6Verified Purchase

Bought 6-pack as supply in shops is patchy and price variable. Works well used weekly in bath and basin drains to keep them flowing. Smells ok.
Bottle could be bigger though.
Product arrived shrink-wrapped but address label had been put on a side so leaked a bit in transit.

Not value for money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2022

Though this product is easy and more safe to use but than other products, I feel it’s not value for money because the amount contained in one bottle is only enough for 3 uses because you need a big amount to unblock a drain pipe.

As product goes down the plug who really knows if it does the job ...I'm guessing we will know in about 2 to 3 mths to see if any blockages happen with my wife's long hair lol 😆

Does what it says

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2021

Foes exactly what it says. Worked well on our bath plug. It's a hydro bath ( water jets ) it's design is stupid and the plug hole drains stupidly slow. ( once Google investigation was complete we realised it is part of the design to drain slow. But we bought the house recently and decided to deep clean said bath. The drain did clear slightly quicker and no bad smell. I would say it works but in a long ass explanation

Works on mild blockages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2021

Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase

This product seems to work well on mild blockages (small clumps of hair etc) but does nothing for a fully blocked pipe. It’s easy to use and smells ok, not as strong as some other similar products.
