Danco10306, Tub Protector Hair Cather and Strainer, Hair Drain Clog Prevention Drain Snake, Snare and Auger

I picked this hair trap mostly because it came in a one-pack and I only needed one. The design is pretty good, though. The little spikes catch hair all the way around the drain, so no hair trails outside the trap and goes down the drain anyway when you try to clean it. Serves its purpose nicely.

Fits perfect in my drain, blocks all hair and it easy to remove to empty. It does make the water drain more slowly but to me worth it to avoid drain issues later.

It fits the bathtub or kitchen drains perfectly and the little loop in the center (to help you lift it out for cleaning) pivots so you'll always get a nice grip. Plastic gives delicate porcelain an added protection, but the anti-bacterial claim is doubtful.Negatives: Residual cardboard and glue remain on this plug from the packing and the glue that was used to retain the clear plastic display case on the cardboard backing. It has to be scraped off before using. Also the mesh that surrounds the inner plug is elevated. This feature allows for extra catching surface for hair and skin particles, but if the person who used the shower before you failed to clean the catcher or you take extra long showers, the strainer won't drain well and the water level starts to build up around the catcher. It's best to clean this unit after the hair dries and you might need a toothbrush to pull them lose, especially if you're dealing with hair that's longer than an inch.Positives: It fits well and can be effective after the negatives are dealt with, such as reminding my room mate to pull the strainer out for cleaning when he's finished showering. That way, I won't accidentally step into the shower with a clogged strainer. It's a nuisance to pull out wet hair.

I've had similar devices which let hair either go underneath them or through the holes in them. This device doesn't seem to have either issue. There is a bit of a downward slant to the outer section which goes around the drain and that keeps it well pressed against the tub bottom so hair can't sneak below it. Also the little spikes on the flat part catch seemingly all the hair. I'm impressed.The only thing that might be an issue for some people is the depth of their drain hole. Mine has a piece of metal in there that's a bit higher than the depth of the round part of this device that goes in the drain, but due to the downward slant of the outer flat part it still works out fine.

This review is for Danco Bathtub Drain Hair Catcher Snare and Strainer, White, 1-Pack (10306).First, the Pros:The product is effective at its purpose, which is to keep your tub or shower drain hair-free. The holes are large enough to let water drain (granting you consistently remove the hair - leaving the hair in the trap will prevent drainage just as it would if you allowed it to enter and clog the drain, obviously), but not so large as to allow hair to get through. Additionally, the barbs on the surface of the trap are an ingenious way to further ensure that hair does not sneak through any holes. This is probably the most effective trap I have used.The product is very easy to install. I like the handle - it makes it extremely easy to pick up, hold onto, etc.The Cons:The material is flimsy, and the edges will curl up a bit. However, I manage to suction them back to the tub well enough to maintain the effectiveness of the trap.Like pretty much any other drain trap, you need to remember to remove the trap from the drain between uses, and clean it regularly with a normal bathroom cleaning product, otherwise the underside is likely to get mildew or mold, and so is the inside of your drain.It's very easy to remove the hair; I'm not sure what the contrary reviews are doing that's making it so difficult. Do it when the hair is still wet, or do it when the hair is dry; either way, I have never had a problem, and my hair is roughly 1.5 feet long.My trap became discolored almost immediately. I live in a 130+ year-old house with moisture and mildew issues, so that's my disclaimer, but normally after I scrub the tub, it takes at least 5 days for the hints of orange mildew to appear again. This trap turned yellow after maybe 3 showers. No idea why, but it is rather unsightly even when there is no hair in it.Those are all pretty minor issues. My biggest issue with this drain trap is that its effectiveness makes it almost impossible to scrub clean. Since I have such a bad mildew problem, I need to clean everything in the bathroom once a week, lest it become orange and slimy. I try to clean this trap every other day (remove the hair, spray with cleaner, scrub the top and bottom), but it absolutely destroys my sponges with its barbs, and is much too flimsy to clean with a scrubbing brush... which means that I can never really get it clean.If I could find a drain hair trap as effective as this one, but a nice grey color, and easy to clean with a sponge or brush, I doubt I would ever use anything else again.

This is the second one of these I have purchased, to use for my upstairs tub/shower. I bought the first one at a box store (orange one), and have had it for at least a year in my downstairs shower over an unfinished 2 inch drain pipe. It works to catch my hair, and the hair cleans off easily, as does the catcher. I have waist length hair, so I wanted something genuinely effective.There may be equally good drain catchers, and certainly fancier ones, but for the price, I don't think you will find a more effective one.

Works well in the shower to catch hair and prevent it from going down the drain. Much easier to clean than having to pull a disgusting mess out of the shower drain. Easy to clean. The only downside is that I can’t have it in the drain at the same time as the bathtub plug

I purchased this item in the past and it worked well in my bath. It eventually needed replacing and I tried other cheaper types but they didn't fit my bath as well, so I purchased another one of these.I am happy with it BUT it is far too expensive for what it is. I will continue to try to find it cheaper elsewhere.
