What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drain auger for clearing stubborn clogs that manual tools failed to penetrate, especially at 90-degree bends and beyond 20 feet. The motorized power and autofeed feature are widely appreciated for eliminating hand-crank effort. Many highlight significant savings compared to professional plumbing services and note it resolved months-old issues quickly. However, some users experienced cable breaking or plastic gear failures during early use, describing the tool as unreliable. Despite durability concerns affecting a minority, most customers consider it highly effective and worthwhile for residential clogs.

Auger
Would RecommendEasy to use and worked great. Problem solved.

Good for home owners
Would RecommendBasic to the point, takes a little reading to understand the proper way to use. Saved the manual process but also did a better job. Getting to the blockage, where manual snake kept getting stuck at a 90 degree bend. Happy so far. Next the kitchen sink!

Used tool was delivered
Would Not RecommendLast 4 orders have been horrible. This time a used plumbing auger was delivered full of sewage from whoever returned it with a big orange sticker saying I can’t return it. I don’t think anyone reads these reviews at Lowe’s. I spent $9,000 in last two weeks on kobalt tools and cabinets . Sadly trying to return what I can . Quality control has been really bad
Lowes has the best prices
Would RecommendNo issues got the job done.

Would RecommendI like that the team a Lows are willing to help you look for your items, not just tell you a go to lain 33

COMPLETELY waste of money
Would Not RecommendYou can stop the cable from turning by just grabbing it with your hand. Absolutely NO power to loosen any type of clog. A complete waste of money and conveniently you CAN'T return it because of "Health" reasons.

Unblocked kitchen sink drain
Would RecommendI first tried the manual snake but could not get through it kept getting stuck no matter what angle I tried. I said I am sure if I called a plumber they would use a more industrial tool like en electric snake. So I found this and said Im going to give it a shot and it worked cleared my blocked drain and wife is very happy and proud.
I would order from Lowe’s again
Would RecommendOrdering went smooth and no damage

works great
Would Recommendworks great, cleaned my drain and saved me 3 hours of work, crawling under the house cutting pipe cleaning and reinstalling
Used three times. Not Very Effective
Would Not RecommendFailed to feed the snake the third time. Threw it in the trash. Didn't start off well either- the "new in box" unit I picked up was obviously used. Lowes replaced it with a new unit. Now looking elsewhere
Works great! Read the manual prior to using
Would RecommendWe live in a mobile home, some crazy plumbing set up, just how it's built... The "Clean Out" located in lower cabinet, and behind drawers in kitchen. We kept getting a clog in a "Y" pipe, we've paid plumber(s) two and three times as much as the price of this auger to unclog.... We decided to buy ourselves a snake... And it worked great! A forever useful tool for us!
This thing rocks
Would RecommendGreat tool, I had a clog that was almost 20 feet in and this thing grabbed it and brought it right out
