Customer Reviews for VEVOR Drain Cleaner Machine 50FT x 1/2Inch Manual Feed Snake Auger with 4 Cutter

Used to snake a 3\" cast iron basement floor drain that shares kitchen sink and washing machine discharge. When the drain gets slow it backs up from the floor drain when the washing machine drains. I've had to snake this line once a year on this rental property when it gets slow. Finally I got this machine (50 ft 1/2\" cable manual feed, no wheels) and used it for about 2 hrs yesterday. I started with the spade bit which gave me some improvement, I then used the small cutter and got a bigger improvement. One time I pulled it back I got a handful of roots which was satisfying. The machine is reasonable well made and looks like it should provide a lifetime of occasional use. The key is to always keep a hand or two on the cable so it doesn't flip around too much. You can well when you are hitting more resistance because the cable twists a bit in your hand- just a bit but you can tell when its working harder. If you hit something tough feed slowly and let it grind it out. Go back and forth many times with water running. Sometimes you may break away junk and it will start to clog up downstream and that means you need to run it all the way out to clear it out. Eventually it will be flushed away. I was able to discharge the washing machine fully while blasting water in to a utility tub nearby so for now its cleared. As an engineer I have some comments for improvements and a suggestion users: 1. As other said, the rubber coated gloves can grab and get your hand twisted up in a scary way. Happened to me once then I switched to heavy leather gloves. The rubber can grab when it its dry cable. I would not include gloves if I was the manufacturer. 2. Some of the bits have the correct thickness aluminum to attach to the cable (see attached pic of the cutter mounted on the end of the cable. However, the stamped steel tools (large cutter and spade bit) have the wrong thickness being a bit thin. When you tighten the screw it can bend the cable aluminum gap so the oth

The snake came from the factory loaded backwards. The snake should run counter clockwise, if not you need to change it before use. Ran about 20ft before I noticed it was already a mess.

I only used it once but it worked and worked quickly. The gloves are junk. Don’t use those. Go get some leather and operate the machine with care. This thing could rip an arm off. It’s also pretty heavy so get one on wheels. I’d probably recommend it. It got the job done when nothing else did.

We have a restaurant with real old pipes. This auger has already saved us $100’s. If your willing to do it yourself this machine works real well.

In the Denver metro, where they practically charge us to breathe, I've been paying ~$230 every year to clean out my old home (1959) sewer line. In 1 use I've practically paid it off. Worked great - but be aware that setting 1 is the one to use for going in and out. 2 reverses it but you shouldn't use it for extended time when pushing or pulling. I either missed that point in the manual or it wasn't clearly noted. Once I figured that out I was Handy Manny! Thrilled with my purchase.

Its a divine tool to have as a small business. One of the features that I hate, is it doesn't have the bigger pipe cleaner tools. It comes with the standard one inch attachment, but it only busts up to at least one inch. I ordered the three and half inch and four inch clean outs as most sewer outlets get to four inches in size. Great price, very great quality, very simple and easy to use. just lacks in features.

I have a sump pump pipe that gets clogged by a tree root every 4 to 6 months. I was renting the machine from Home Depot but decided to buy one. This snake works well for what I need. Cuts the root fast and easily. It is a little heavy but not like other brands.

Works great for my needs, re winding is a pain though, 75 feet does well for my kitchen back wall clean out, I wish it had a front lock for the cable ,I've rented others that wer 50 feet but couldn't reach the problem, so had to get a bigger one,

Very good machine,highly reccomend.i had very bad clog in kitchen wall pipes,this machine is incredible,worth every penny.Thank you Vevor.
