A constant battle with food slipping under them and down the drain (which is a no-no with no disposal and a septic system) or getting caught and mashed into the mesh - so gross!! I was a little nervous when reading reviews that this thing was going to be tricky to remove to empty,, would I be able to?"
"This 2 piece stainless-steel kitchen strainers are truly a blessing in my home. We, a family of 5, are notorious for letting utensils or our cleaning squares scrappers go down the drain, then they get all scratched up by the garbage disposal :/. The strainers themselves are thin but strong and they stay put where you need them to be."
"I've looked all around my town, including hardware stores, for really good sink strainers, I needed them really bad!"
"Strainers work great. I've struggled finding a good strainer. I've purchased $15 pop up strainers but they restricted the water flow so much when open that water wouldn't drain through fast enough leaving residue in sink. I ranked it 4 because it's very lightweight. But the flow is great and it looks good. Fits good and serves its purpose."
"Have had these for some time now, they keep out the tiny particles that, over time, clog the sink side without the disposal."
"These strainers fit perfectly."
"This replaces a drain plug type sink strainer which we rarely need and I've completely disliked."
"A less rating simply because they don't fit my sink isn't the products fault!"
Effectively catches hair without blocking water drainage.

"Nothing did, mostly because the drain stoppers would stop hair, but they'd get grody and be hard to clean."
"I needed this to cover a drain as protection from hair and detritus while using the shower."
"Great look and functionality, it's the best drain cover that I've encountered."
"This functions exactly as it should -- and is attractive while doing it."
"I needed a replacement for my plastic shower drain and this worked perfectly!"
"And on my drain, when I step in the center of the disk, it will flip inward (it has a slight convex surface)."
"It didn't work for me, and I couldn't recommend it."

"Pros-. Catches hair well. Fits well over the drain. Looks nice. Cons -. It moves from it's position very easily. If you step on the drain a lot this product might not be great for you because the hair catcher cover moves easily and the hair could sneak by."
"Great product!!!!"
"Does what it's supposed, I'm just glad I didn't get anything smaller because this just hardly coversy shower drain."
"just right, needed something with smaller holes to stop the hair from going down & clogging tub pipes, this does it well, could use a small anchor to keep from sliding when bumped, though, minor criticism."
"much better then the plastic ones. easier in the shower - you don't step on it."
"Great at catching hair!"
"I don't know if it is catching 100% hair but it did cashed some."

"It feels solid, the finish is excellent and matches the faucet ( http://www.amazon.com/Rozin®-Creative-Design-Bathroom-Brushed/dp/B0129YFLTY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 ) we ordered from Amazon, also, and is much simpler to operate than the traditional one where you have to pull the lever."
"For a vessel sink you’ll need like a 1.75” Hole not a standard 1.5” hole."
"Nice drain; however, we were hoping it would drain the water out much faster than it does due to the rubber ring/seal."
"Plenty of body to go through stone and vanity."
"Pretty, but almost thought it was the wrong product because it looks like it is way to big to fit in a sink but once it is in it looks nice."
"Was easy to install as replacement."
"Outstanding product."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Allow approximately 3/4 of an inch of standing water (or more, depending on the depth of the tub basin, my tub needs about an inch maximum) to fill the tub, over/on top of the hair catcher - just leave the hair catcher where it is. With the water and gravity at work, the hair should come up as one big wet lump that easily attaches to the Q-tip (instead of several strands of hair that come off slowly and in a big mess, when you try to clean it bit by bit or when it is dry!). I wrap a paper towel around the hair lump, drop it in the trash, and the hair catcher is COMPLETELY clean, not a spare hair! Life is too short to be messing with cleaning the catcher by picking out each hair, strand by strand - it's such a prickly little guy, which I LOVE, but it defeats the purpose if you can't clean it quickly and easily after showering."
"I have the kind of drain with a screw-on plug."
"The gently upward-sloping rim has small soft and flexible rubber spines on it (which you can somewhat see from my photo) that grab at stray hair strands and the water draining down helps coil the hairs around the strainer, and the water flow creates a light downwards suction of the strainer."
"Wait, scratch that - I LOATHE touching wet, soapy-slimy hair that's clinging to dear life all around plastic little wet soapy-slimy finger hair grabbers."
"Only problem is that in doing so, it also prevents water from going down the drain."
"Sometimes the hair around the outside can be hard to remove, and I have to use an old toothbrush to really get the soap scum out."
"At first I loved this but as time went on the sides started to curl letting hair go underneath it."
"Impossible to clean hair and soap scum off of."

It's better said that you WILL need plumber's putty, and if you have a stainless steel sink, you have the option to use the thin rubber gasket (I'd use plumber's putty)."
"Update: As an aside, I also learned from my research that the best way to clean my disposal is to use citric acid. Having previously had no idea what citric acid was used for, I decided to order some from Amazon, going with the brand my sister uses: Citric Acid Powder - Ultra Fine Pure Powdered Crystals - Natural Preservative Food Grade Quality (16 oz) and gave it a whirl after 3 months of using my disposal. I let the citric acid sit with some water in the disposal for about ten minutes, and then I let it run for a solid 2 minutes."
"The immediate issues I have with this product is the plastic connections and the sound of the motor. This is the first disposal that has had plastic connecting the disposal to the sink."
"I installed the EZMount L-8000, replacing an Insinkerator 3-mount. Just removed the old mount and replaced the whole new unit."
"All I needed to do was to install the new fitting for the sink and take apart the p-trap to make it slide over the outlet tube (I needed to trim that tube to the same length as the one from the Badger)."

"Gaskets are provided for both above and below the counter top ensure both a waterproof fit, and that the unit doesn't slide on the granite above or stainless steel below. In addition, I use the Never-MT dispenser kit, eliminating the refillable bottle and pumping directly from the soap container in the cabinet below; the pump has enough oomph to handle the additional length of tubing."
"Unlike the others this one holds a vacuum-all the time and the its fast and easy to pump up the soap (I use a three foot tube into a gallon of soap)."
"I went to my local big box home improvement store and was very disappointed by the selection and quality that they had there. The installation process wasn't the easiest but that was only due to the cramped quarters and the way our sink was installed."
"It is steel and not plastic, although the bottom part is plastic (the tubing and container for the soap)."
"When pressed with what seems like a reasonable amount of pressure it stops at the "hitch", which makes you press harder to pass it and then the soap shoots out."
"When we had our kitchen remodel last year, our contractor installed a soap dispenser using plumbers putty."
"Filling is easy from the top with having to disassemble anything other than to just slide the pump portion from the collar that secures the bottle to the counter."
