Mon Apr 23 2012Not actually a review but I, like most people have suffered at the hands of poor tradesmen. So much so that I have started a Website focused on plumbers - Just in Suffolk UK, as that's where I live - to help consumers avoid the problems of getting a simple job done. http://localplumberfinder.co.uk/

Sun Nov 20 2011This stuff is amazing!!!!! First I bought Liquid Plumber, it didn't work. Then I bought a snake. My daughter and I saw the One Second Plumber at the store. She told me to try it, but I was skeptical. Sure enough the snake couldn't get around all of the elbows. So, I picked myself up One Second Plumber, hoping that it would work. Plumbers cost too much, so I thought that I would risk the money. Well, now I had another problem, the bathroom faucet was in the way! Great! Maybe, just maybe I can move it. It wasn't perfect but I managed to get the canister in there and pressed it with all of my might. It sounded like something exploded and then the drain was completed clear. Later I moved the shower curtain and found the bathtub had lots of guck in it. I figured that it was clogged now. I cleaned it up and pulled out the crap that was originally clogging the sink, out of the bathtub. Everything is in perfect working order now!

Thu Jan 13 2011After 7+ bottles of Liquid Plumber, commercial (janitorial) liquid drain opener, liquid drain opener (Home Depot) crystal drain opener (also Home Depot), small plunger (actually did have good suction) vinegar and baking soda .... this did the trick. It took about 5 bursts - the package does say stop after three. I was concerned at first that the adapter wouldn't fit the sink, but you don't need to use the adapter. There was a bit of an aerosol smell after. Not unpleasant. Overall, I was very pleased (and relieved). This was a drain from a washing machine (laundry tub), in an older house. Water from upstairs kitchen sink was coming through. We'll see how well this lasts.

Sun Dec 02 2007I'm not a gadget person, but this product is pretty decent. It did work on both a blocked bathtub drain as well as a bathroom sink. I had to use up three to four gas shots per drain, so it does not last as long as they claim. Remember you have to positively block the overflow for it to work. They should offer refill canisters rather than having to buy a whole new kit ever time the gas runs out...for the effort is saves in using a plumbing snake, I'd say ok, here's my twenty bucks

Sat Dec 16 2006I rate this product 0 out of five, if I could give it a negative rating I would. Not only did "One second plumber" not work for me it actually made the problem worse!I want my 23.00 back. Apparently I have to roll over a star so I will, but my rating is still zero stars!

Sat Aug 19 2006I have had drain troubles in my guest tub since buying my house 8 years ago. Ihave repeatedly used various chemical drain openers with minimum improvement. I bought One Second Plumber on impulse and tried it one time with excellent results. The drain finally worked while showering and after bathing babies. I used it on the master tub with the same great results and on the sinks (lots of long hair in the family creates quite a lot of drain troubles) and everything is running rine now. I haven't tried on the toilet yet, but used up my '16' applications on 6 drains. Holding it down too long I guess. But i'm still happy and will be trying to find refils somewhere. I thing Bed bath and beyond has them.

Fri Mar 17 2006I bount this product at Linens N Things and took it home. It made the sink and tub a little better but wouldn't unclog the toilet. Upon examination, I found that the little can was out of air. I went back to the store and the manager said they did not carry extra air containers. So, I was out $21 and only marginally improved two drains. The store manager couldn't have cared less about whether there was a relacement can and did not offer me my money back. This was my first trip to linens N Things and I found a number of items to buy in the future. I will look elsewhere for them as they will never get another dime out of me. There was no contact number or address on the package or instructions. I am going to file a complaint with the Attorney General. The store was in the Frandor Shopping Center in Lansing, Michigan.

Sun Mar 05 2006Clogged drain in bathroom sink was obliterated in one second. I couldn't believe how fast it happened. I was sceptical for only $20. A plumber would have been $60 and that is why I took the chance. It really works.

Sun Feb 05 2006I went to my bathroom one morning to take a shower where lo and behold, the bathtub looked as if someone tried, and failed, to make vegetable hairball soup in the tub. I bought "One Second Plumber" and it only worsened the situation by making my bathroom a complete mess, spreading its aroma around my apartment and NOT WORKING. Either my bathtub needs an actual plumber, or this stuff does not work as well as it advertises.

Mon Jan 16 2006For a student, this device is an effing gift from God. for only 20 bucks your gross plugged up tub will be unplugged in seconds. And without the hassle of dealing with an expensive plumber.

Sat Sep 24 2005so i came home from my girlfriend's house and went into the can to take a leak. the water level looked strangely low, but i didnt think much of it... i started to piss and then decided i would flush while expelling a couple bottles of gatorade. as soon as i flushed, the water level came up right to the rim of the toilet, nearly over flowing onto my feet. i had to zip up and stop peeing in order to keep the water level from going any higher. i started yelling at my dad for clogging the toilet. he laughed and told me that he had just taken a mighty dump, one worthy for guiness. apparently so as we tried to unclog the toilet multiple times with a toilet auger and a plunger. no go. my dad was starting to get pretty bitter and i continued to laugh at him as he plunged away, cursing and swearing at the elephant sized turd that had decided to take up residence in the pipe of the toilet. we decided that he needed a new plunger... otherwise he would need to call in the aid of a plumber...

Mon Feb 21 2005After trying a plunger, a drain snake, and 4 different chemical products to unclog my tub, I came across One Second Plumber. This product is fantastic. After 2 applications the drain was unblocked at last! If I hadn't have found this, I would have had to call a plumber. Also it claims to cause no harm to the environment!
