        Yes and No, it doesn’t give a really good seal but sometimes it’s enough to work. I have a Kohler elongated toilet.

                Some customers say that 99-4A (recommended by Wirecutter) is better than 99-12A (this model). Is that true? Do they have any differences besides the packaging?

                  We ordered this plunger based on the reviews and we were pleasantly surprised. Compared to old plunger that cracked and did not have good suction, this one is amazing and helped unclog our toilet like no other. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a new plunger.

                  My hubby bought this at the store bc we, erm, lent our old one (w wood handle) to a neighbor, and didn't want it back, you know? So he came home with this. I told him to return it, but I'm still staying at this awful. Plastic handle traps gems and is too short and flimsy. Ick. Thank God we haven't had to use it yet

                  Great plunger for modern low flush Kohler toilets
                  We put in new Kohler toilets this last summer 2024. They rarely plugged, but when they did they would not clear with a standard flange type toilet plunger. The water would just circulate through the hole across from the drain through the perforations in the rim and you would get no "plunging" to remove the clog. I decided to buy the Beehive unit from Korky as I trust the brand and ingenuity. The beehive plunger works great. I no longer have to work on a plug for hours with various tools. I just plunge a few times with the beehive and bam, it's cleared. This is the best investment under $20 I have made all year. I think our Kohler toilets are the Highline, Class 5, Comfort Height units with a 1.28 gallon flush and these plungers work great. I bought 2 more after I used the first one.

                      Fantastic! Highly recommend!
                      My regular plunger wouldn't work on my new elongated toilet. I found this one online, based on reviews, I bought it. It took about 7 plunges, but did great! Very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend it! Just be sure to follow the instructions and angle fill it first.

                          Works great, much better than traditional plungers
                          HET, or high efficiency toilets - are not fun to plunge if you have a traditional style/shape plunger. The traditional plungers just cannot create a seal around the odd shaped HET egress. This is where a HET compatible plunger like the Korky Beehive plunger really helps clear clogs. Just follow the simply instructions of inserting it on an angle and slowly allow it to form a seal. Then somewhat gently, begin plunging a few times, back it out, and test flushing. There really is no need to exert a lot of force during plunging with this Beehive, unlike the traditional plungers. I bought this one and tossed my old traditional style plunger since all of our toilets are now HET. You can see an example of what a HET egress flush path looks like with the picture I attached. A word about HET's: Toilets are officially HET's if they use 1.6 gallons of water or less per flush. Need even more frustration in your life when trying to cleanly flush a toilet? Be aware that all toilet manufacturers are moving towards standardizing on toilets that use 1.28 GPF, or less. The use of plungers will become more and more of a common occurence. HET's are a great idea, but when you have to flush it 2 or 3 times to clear the bowl contents, the idea becomes questionable and the plunger becomes a necessity.

                          Does the job
                          Didnt realize what piece of crap my old plunger was till i brought this home. Customers who say the rubber collapses i believe aren’t plunging right - yes there is a technique to plunging and pushing the handle all the way down isn’t it. They must have slightly changed the design since the reviewer who complained about water getting sucked into the handle.... yes its hollow but there’s a barrier that wouldn’t allow the water up. My bowl is slightly elongated from round, but not extreme like the new toilets. Fit and sealed beautifully and believe it would be fine on the HET ones as well, as the rubber is flexible. Will buy another one for the second toilet upstairs when i go back to HD to return the auger i ended up not needing. We have a nice plumber but won’t be calling him this time.

                            We had the inexpensive, nice looking plunger that fell apart (split) and had to replace. Figured that we should get one that was more robust so we got this and it really did the job. Note: we kept the brush and station that came with our original decorator styled brush and plunger combo. Perhaps Beehive may want to make a heavy duty combo unit...plunger and brush?
