KENES Bathroom Vessel Sink Pop Up Drain Without Overflow Assembly, Lavatory Vanity Sink Drain Stopper,Anti-Clogging Drain Strainer, Brushed Nickel, KE-P300A

When I renovated my bathroom I replaced the sunken sink with one that was mostly above the counter service, but I needed a train stopper. I chose not to go cheap and bought a very nice one. Paint chipped off, it was so low when popped up that the sink barely drained and then it finally just got stuck and wouldn't pop up or down anymore. Plus, there was no convenient way to clean out the drain from the crap we all know ends up down there.I read good reviews on this pop up drain. I was leery that it could be so inexpensive and really be so good. I stand corrected. It took me five times longer to man handle the old expensive drain out with a big wrench than it did to install this one. For this one I just put it all together in the correct order and hand tightened it and it works great. It's not loose, doesn't wiggle and feels solid. Some say it sits too high when popped up. I don't think so, but then, my last one sat way too low. Not only was installation fast and easy, but when done there were no leaks and no adjustments required. It pops up and down with ease and the icing on the cake is that if I want to clean the drain I just pull up and the unit just slides up out of the drain in one piece. No unscrewing. (My old one the top would screw off and I couldn't get the guts to unscrew out of the drain.) I clean it up and slide it back down into the drain. A sixty second job at most. When popped up it drains fast. When popped down it holds water as desired. What more could you ask?Yes, it's mostly plastic, but why would that be an issue? All the drain lines under your sink are PVC. the one part that is not plastic is the top piece which is definitely metal so it doesn't look or feel cheap. If I had any issues at all it would be that the manufacturer has their name engraved in the top where you see it every time you wash your hands. I try to avoid purchasing products with the manufactures name is gaudily plastered on them like some billboard. However it's not to obtrusive and you don't notice it after a while. I can live with it.I've learned not to go cheap when buying products, but have found, as in this case, more money does not necessarily mean higher quality. I'm tempted to purchase a second one of these just to have a spare, but it seems the odds of me needing a spare any time soon is negligible.This was a great buy of a quality item and I have absolutely no regrets.

Bought two new faucets and they had drains with overflow vents. This caused leaks. Put these and and no leaks. Perfect replacement

Works great!

The media could not be loaded. Installed this today in our bathroom. Got tired of always fixing the pull up latch type. Took 10 mins to install. The look is 5 stars. The feel is 3 stars. Its plastic. BUT it was like 15 bucks and delivered in less than 24 hours. Seals well. Holds water. Looks great. Im happy with it.

Easy to install

Works great, love these pop up plungers. So much better than the old era style with the arm underneath.

I bought a plastic popup drain in 2019. Before long, it was sometimes slow to pop up or didn't pop up wide open. Reviewers complained about it.It got worse. Sometimes it wouldn't pop up at all. If that happened, I couldn't grab the top because it fit flush with the drain flange. Many chemicals that might be in drain water, like dilute vinegar or washing soda, can eventually cause a rubber seal to swell. In a popup drain, that could cause binding. Drying the cartridge for several hours in a warm oven would help.After a year, it was hopeless. I bought a brass model. The seal was a different kind of rubber, but eventually it, too, began to swell. Besides, deposits on the brass would cause sliding parts to jam.After three more years, I bought this one because it was plastic and because I could grab the top in case it stuck closed. If my sink's "overflow" vent is open to prevent airlock, this drain will empty my 1-gallon basin in 11 seconds. Slots in the plate at the bottom of the cartridge are 4.4mm wide. They should catch most things that might go down the drain accidentally.I see two drawbacks. If someday I drop an object as tiny as the screw closing an AAA battery compartment, the drain cartridge wouldn't catch it. After months of continuous exposure, something in the drain water could cause the seal to swell.I don't often fill my basin. When I don't need the popup, a stainless steel screen is better to catch tiny items. Beside the sink is a wall bracket for a Dixie Cup dispenser that hasn't been used in 70 years. It's just right to hang the cartridge, dry and ready.

wasnt enough threads to tighten, so had to put some spacers to allow it to tighten to the sink. all plastic.
