Works good but pricd too high

It works however it takes the whole bottle to work. I have long thing hair . Very long, so my tub clogs constantly this has been saving me lol. However the price is high for an item like this especially since it needs multiple uses for clear a clog.

Bad job

The company does a horrible job in explaining what products are for what jobs I'm going to avoid this brand in the future and once I figured out how to use it it failed make it more clear on the bottle how the product works it should be very simple and basic to understand but it's not.

Did not get wht I paid for

Ordered two of these. They came less than a third full of liquid. There was no seal on either bottle. Clearly they were both used/emptied.

Don’t waste your money!

Only wasted money on this because it doesn’t work what a scam!!!

We're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected to clear your drain. Typically, two applications work to effectively dissolve tough clogs to restore the flow. As this wasn't your experience, we want to make this right. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT) and provide your reference number: 23062589.

Arrived clearly damaged and unusable!

Target is no longer where we we'll spend our money! They won't allow us to return this or issue an obvious necessary refund! Why? Because it's on us to find a way to their store without transportation.

Not impressed

I have a really bad clog in my bathroom sink where the water just fills in the bowl and doesn’t drain. I used a whole bottle as directed and I still have the clog it’s not as bad but it still fills my sink. Blockage still there.
1 reply from SC Johnson Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
We understand that dealing with a clogged drain is frustrating, and we're sorry to hear that Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover didn’t power through it. If you’re still experiencing a slow-running drain after two applications, the clog may be deeper in the pipes than Drano® can reach. Since this didn't meet expectations, we’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 23045477. Hope to hear from you soon!

We're sorry to hear about your experience with Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover. This formula typically, clears clogs to restore drains to fast flowing, so we appreciate you making us aware of this. If the clog remains after two applications, it may be located deeper in the drain and require assistance from a plumber. Since this didn't meet standards, we'd like the chance to learn more.

We had a clogged shower drain and one jar of Drano max gel was enough to clear it out. It worked as expected by following the instructions on the back. Easy and straightforward. I did let it work for around 30 mins and then turned the water on

Good stuff

I've used Drano gel for many years, it really works usually in one application. This morning it took 3, but saved a call to the plumber.

Great at unclogging!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product!! It kinda smells like chlorine to me, so even though it doesn’t have a yummy scent, it gets the job done easily as long as you follow instructions, but you might want to clear out of the bathroom while you wait. There’s a good amount of the product too so it’ll last you a while, if you tend to shed more hair it’ll last you a little less but it’s still a great amount!

Slow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions are very clear. To me it works soo slow! I definitely need another one to complete the job. It’s smells strong which isn’t bad the sent of the clog needed to be neutralized.

Thanks for sharing, Peter. I'm sorry to learn this was your experience. We expect Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover to work great powering through buildup in your drains caused by hair, grease and gunk. However, if the clog is too far down Drano® may not be able to reach. If that's case, we only suggest using twice before contacting a plumber. We stand behind our products and are happy to help! Please give our experts a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT) and provide reference number: 23028145. We look forward to your call. – Mindi, SC Johnson Consumer Care

It is fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drano Max Gel works fast and cuts through clogs without any hassle. It handles hair and gunk really well, even when there’s standing water. It’s reliable, easy to use, and a good thing to keep around for quick fixes.
