Would RecommendIt works better than the previous one I had
Good quality, works well
Would RecommendPurchased these to replace 25 years old original stoppers. Previous 2 attempts were unsuccessful: one model was easily clogged, another had coating from plastic parts come off in big chunks during first 2 weeks. These are made of stainless steel, look awesome and built solid. Work well in plugging the drainage as well as draining the water. Pay attention: they're 2 options: polished and matte. Make sure you purchase 2 of the same finishing for double sink.

Kitchen Sink Stopper
I replaced an older sink stopper with this one. This one was very much improved over the old stopper.

Better than some, but that’s a low bar
Would Not RecommendI had high hopes for this drop post strainer basket. It seems to be made of quality materials, and the basket itself fits my drain more closely than the others I’ve tried. But like an elaborate conspiracy theory, it just doesn’t hold water. The O-ring is not sufficient to provide a tight seal, at least not in my deep, ridged drain. And it doesn’t really open enough to allow water to drain quickly. So it fails at both of its tasks!
Good for 4 months, then problems!
Would Not RecommendAt first, I was very pleased with the quality. Bought two of these strainers/stoppers and they worked well -- at first. After 4 months, one of them started to leak. I wash dishes by hand, and the leak meant I needed to keep adding water and dish soap. Then, after 8 months, the other strainer/stopper failed. The first sign was the o-ring fell off the stopper. A few days later, the screw securing the stopper just fell out. Worst stopper/strainers I have every owned in 50+ years.

Effective strainer basket
Would RecommendI purchased this 3.3 inch stainless steel strainer basket several weeks ago to replace a strainer basket that had failed after many years of use. This new strainer basket seals completely and has worked well for me. You do not need to apply much force to achieve a seal, and the strainer basket works as intended to capture debris from dirty pots, pans and dishes when the sink is drained. Overall, I am very pleased with this item after a limited amount of usage.

Excellent Design
Would RecommendVery well made and easy to clean, really an excellent design.
Nice looking, but screw fell out and down the drain in less than two weeks. Threaded screw needs a lock washer and possibly locktight.

Good quality, seals well, and works perfectly. Much better than my old strainer which was a push pin style and wouldn't stay open.
