          A:  It didn't worked. I thought it would be value for money since Zep is more expensive. Zep worked for me before so I'm going to go and buy it instead.

              A:  No this product does not work it was a complete waste of money honestly. I had total blockage in my kitchen sink dumped a full bottle in instead of the half bottle liquor recommended and it still did absolutely nothing.

              A:  I had a hair clog in the tub with slow moving water, it says to pour half and wait but I poured the whole bottle and left it overnight, boiled water and flushed it, waited another hour before using the tub and I honestly think it made it worse, water was moving even slower. Waste of money, I don’t recommend this to anyone.

                          A:  While I've never had to use it in a bathtub, I would assume that it could be used to clear the drain. I would make sure the tub was thoroughly cleaned before using it afterward.

                            Ive had standing water in my tub since yesterday. I went today and bought Drano Max Gel as it is intended for standing water. Ive done everything it said to do on the instructions twice and still no difference. Now I have double the water in my tub and can no longer use a pluger to try and fix it

                            We're sorry to hear your clog was not cleared. Typically, Drano® works great to power through buildup in your drains. However, if the clog is too far down Drano® may not be able to reach, and we'd suggest contacting a plumber. We'd like to hear more about your experience to best assist you.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Such a great product! It was really easy to use and did a great job of easily unclogging my drain on the first try. Not only is it effective against clogs, it also says it's safe on the pipes so you don't have to worry about the long term affects on using it. I will definitely be keeping this on hand for my drains.

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I confirm I will receive product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This Drano Max worked better and helped me unclog my kitchen sink and bathtub. I followed the instructions and used a 1/5 bottle for my kitchen sink and waited for 30 minutes before flushing with the hot water. I used it twice today, and my sink improved with no more backup water. This new Max gel smells slightly, but it works wonderfully and saves me money.

This product does what it ways it's supposed to do. It's not messy when you pour it in the tub and breaks down the clog in just a few minutes. Then backup I had wasn't bad, but it could tell the difference when I took a shower. No more wading in the water.

                                            New kitchen drain installed 2 years ago. Drain started to slowly drain and eventually stopped flowing at all. Purchased Max Gel based on recommendation but it's not working. I could be a little more understanding if the pipes were 20 years old with years of build-up but this drain is fairly new

                                            Oh no! We're sorry to hear Drano® Max Gel did not clear your clog.

                                              What now?
                                              I've always known "if you have a clog, try drano!" I'm renting and my landlord isn't the best at getting things done fast. With only 1 shower and the drain currently not draining at all, I thought I should give it a try. After the first 1/2 of the bottle, let it sit for 30 mins, and flushing with hot water, nothing - just more water in the tub. So I tried again, letting it sit for an hour this time and nothing. So now what?
