JS Jackson Supplies Professional Bellows Accordion Toilet Plunger, High Pressure Thrust Plunge Removes Heavy Duty Clogs from Clogged Bathroom Toilets, All Purpose Power Plungers for Bathrooms, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The design! Look at it. More volume for more push. Good seal at the bottom. It's not just the "Push" - it's the "Push and Pull". Think of it as billows. Don't go too fast with it - push and pull and easy does it. Many times one gentle push does it. The secret is the volume of this thing. Great design. Only downside - it won't pull a dent out of a car door like the old rubber ones can!

I debated about whether to purchase this plunger... the reviews are all over the place, but I sure am glad I got it. My upstairs toilet hasn't worked well in the 1.5 years we've owned this house. I suspect a former owner's child put more than they should have down the hatch. Or maybe it's a "water efficient" toilet, because there doesn't ever seem to be much water in the tank or bowl. Regardless, this toilet only flushes properly every other time; such an annoyance.6 days ago this toilet completely stopped flushing water out of the bowl. Ugh! My previous plunger was so ridiculously bad that I threw it away months ago. Had to break down and buy one to fix this current problem and after researching many options online, I happened across this design, vastly different than plungers of old.I followed tips posted by other reviewers... if the bowl is dry, pour a cup or two of water in the tank, position the plunger at a slight angle towards the rim, slowly push the plunger all the way in, and then pump it halfway 3-5 times, pull it up and let the water drain out, and flush. First time I did this it still didn't flush properly so I repeated the steps and VOILA! Success.To those who posted anything less than a 5 star review:* Yes, you are going to splash some water - don't put your face down there and have a paper towel and cleaner ready to wipe up the droplets. ANY style plunger is going to create some splash because of how a plunger works.* My handle did not collapse into the accordion portion - it does not require superman force to use this plunger, just light small motions, so if you've managed to collapse your handle, either it's defective or you are pushing too hard.* Yes, the accordion part is stiff... you want it to be able to draw in and push air and water hard down the pipe to clear the clog, but it's not too stiff for this purpose; seriously, anyone, even an older arthritic person, can use this plunger.* No, it doesn't matter if your bowl hole is square and this doesn't have to cover the hole or fit into it perfectly. This plunger works differently and it doesn't require complete suction against the hole, it works by pulling and pushing water and air into the accordion piece and then back out through the bowl hole. A complete seal is NOT necessary for this action to occur.* It is possible to clean this without going outside to hose it off. Once your toilet is properly functioning thanks to this wonderful plunger, put some cleaner in your toilet bowl and plunge up some of that water into the plunger a few times, flush the toilet, and then plunge up some of the clean water into the plunger a few times. Done, it's clean enough for storage.* You are right, it is not going to pull toys, deodorant, and other non-flushable items out of your toilet pipe, nor is any other plunger. Keep your toilet lid shut when not in use.Highly recommend this plunger!

I thought it would work better than the standard wands, but it doesn't. In fact, it can be messy to use with the extra suction feature. Still, it eventually unclog waste.

The very best. The last plugger you will ever own. Not like the rest. But you have a lot of groves to clean.

Works great. We have 2 of them. But Walmart has them cheaper.

we bought this toilet plunger to replace one that was making toilets black at the state park that we were volunteering at. This toilet plunger was perfect works great and no black marks left. As enough power to clean out a clogged toilet in no time. Nice design easy to use

Let's be honest, plunging toilets is disgusting. And the worst part? That inevitable backsplash spray. So, when I saw the "no-fold lip" on this JS Jackson bellows plunger promising to end the splash-zone horror, I was intrigued. And I'm happy to report: it actually works, brilliantly. Plunging is now noticeably cleaner – think less grimace, more grimace-lite. For everyday clogs – you know, the usual toilet paper overload – this thing is also a step up in power. It clears those minor blockages in seconds with a satisfying whoosh that my old cup plunger could only dream of.But (and there's always a "but" with 3-star products), don't expect this to be your clog-conquering superhero. I recently faced a serious drain drama – my toddler decided a toy car belonged in the toilet (don't ask). Against this compacted toy-car-and-who-knows-what-else blockage, the bellows plunger faltered. It wasn't useless, but it was a battle. Imagine 10 solid minutes of furious plunging, feeling like you're arm-wrestling a stubborn clog, barely making headway. It eventually yielded, but it was a borderline plumbing emergency, not a quick fix. For those kinds of blockages, you'll still be reaching for the heavy artillery.Also, prepare for a slightly different plunging experience. The bellows isn't as brain-dead simple as a cup plunger. You can't just mindlessly push and pull. The optimal technique involves a more direct, forceful downward thrust to compress the bellows effectively. It took me a couple of clogs to really get the hang of it, and even now, it feels a tad less intuitive than the old reliable cup. Expect a minor, but real, usability adjustment.And finally, the all-plastic build, especially those accordion-like bellows joints, does make me question long-term toughness. The plastic feels… plastic-y. For occasional, light-duty plunging, it's probably fine. But if you're a frequent clog-fighter, or tend to really lean into your plunging, I'd be concerned about those bellows giving out over time. Durability is definitely a watch-out.A Solidly Improved Plunger for Everyday Use, But Not a Universal Plumbing Weapon. Think of it as a splashback solution with decent clog-clearing bonus, not a heavy-duty plumbing tool. For households mostly dealing with typical toilet paper clogs and wanting to minimize mess, it's a worthwhile upgrade. But for those facing frequent or severe blockages, temper your expectations and maybe keep a drain snake handy. Still lands at a realistic 3 stars – Good for what it is, but definitely not perfect.Love the no-splash. Like the extra power for light clogs. Wary of durability for heavy use. Overall: Good, not groundbreaking.
