UmbraUmbra Starfish Drain Cover and Hair Catcher, White

Large size to cover drain and very effective at catching hair to avoid blockages and strong suction to keep it in place

Wanted to find a hair catcher that catches my long hair and also covers our shower plug hole. The hair catcher worked very well in our shower and catches the hair. It was huge enough to cover the en-suite shower plug hole and did not lift or slide about when someone is in the shower. The suction stays in place, unlike the Dossil Hexapus that I purchase, which was not big enough to cover the shower plug and also floated about in the shower tray when showering. Tested it also in our bathroom, the suction does not stay as well in the bath due to the curvature of a bath, but it still did catch most of the hair. Did not get full five stars, as when the item arrived, it was well wrap in the amazon box but the white catcher had some black marks, which I washed off with some soap before used.

The Starfish Drain Cover from Umbra was delivered very fast and was incredibly easy to fit.The cover has small suckers underneath each of the star 'corners' and these attach the drain cover to the bath.I have a pop up waste cover in the bath tub which I removed to apply this star drain cover. The bath is mainly used for showers so this solution works for me.The star cover is slightly domed shaped which means the support for the pop up waste is well accommodated without getting in the way. To use the bath tub for a bath rather than a a shower, I simply replace the pop up waste by removing the start cover and screwing back the metal fitting.The star cover is made of soft silicone like material. I opted for the white version and it looks good with the white bath tub.It fully covers the drain waste whilst allowing water to drain nicely and it is very good at catching most of the long hair which would otherwise risk getting stuck in the drain pipe. I simply remove the collected hair after each use and dispose of it in the bin.I purchased this item because the water from the bath was draining very slowly after five years from having anew bath tub fitted. My plumber cleaned the pipes and the offending item was a large ball of hair which accumulated over the years. He recommended I get this sort of drain cover to prevent future problems and I ma very pleased with this solution.Avery simple and incredibly effective idea which works extremely well.

I ordered this product as I have had problems with my drains from hair being blocked. It arrived fast and on time. The product was packed in a small envelope which was also a benefit as it fit through my letterbox. The drain cover was easy to install and quite large so it will fit over most drains. It also managed to be very flexible as my drain is positioned right next to the side of my shower and so the cover was able to bend into shape. The suckers were also very strong, they were put on dry, and haven't managed to unstick over the past month, even when standing on! The hair was collected on the top of the cover and so was easy to collect and clean off. It was definitely worth the £5 I paid for it.The only downside was that I got to see how much hair comes off my head!

I would have given it 5 stars for design form and function. It's pretty and it works... Over the past 22 months of using it, it has served well to keep my shower drain getting clogged by my long hairs. HOWEVER, like other similar reviews, within the first few months of use I had started to notice some of the drainage holes had gotten rimmed with a black circle of mould. No amount of scrubbing with household cleaners could get them off. Now all the holes are "infected" and it looks pretty nasty so I am going to look for a better reviewed alternative. And the yellowing part is true too, though it didn't bothered me as much as the black mould rings. So 2 stars knocked off for that it is not that easy to clean and keep clean, and that it is susceptible to mould.

Nice feel to it, seems durable. Slides around a little bit occasionally but that is easily remedied by sticking it in place properly if I spot it's moved. With the number of hours the shower is on in this house, I don't think it's unreasonable.This starfish is clearly excellent at trapping hair, judging by the amount it catches every shower. We thought we were good at trying not to get hair to go down the drainhole, but this starfis proves we really needed this useful gadget.After each shower, we just grab 1 sheet of toilet paper and wipe the hair off the starfish to dispose of it. Works great.Also great at catching plaster falling off the ceiling, btw. That stuff is so brittle it just breaks if you try to pick up a piece, but this starfish lets it hold its shape till we can wipe it up with a tissue - much more effective than when we tried to pick up plaster from the shower tray (our ceiling is peeling, and due a facelift).Only had this a few days, so not tried to clean the underside yet.

Disappointed as I always use these plug covers, they are brilliant for catching my hair and avoiding a blocked bath. My current one is discoloured. My new white cover to go in my white bath arrived with dirty marks that do not come off so it already looks old!

I bought this basically on a whim after clearing hair from shower drain. Shocked just how much hair it collects. This purchase will save me a chore of cleaning drain in the future.

This is the second Umbra Starfish Hair Catcher I’ve purchased because I like it so much. Works well!!

Does what it is supposed to do. Catches hair, easy to keep clean and really saves the drain from clogging over time. I’ve bought a few of these but the best price always seems to be on Amazon. I typically buy once a year as they can discolour a bit over time.

Le ventose tengono bene ed il filtro ferma ciò che deve, buon acquisto.

J ai hésité à l acheter au vu des commentaires partagés, mais en fait cela fonctionne super bien chez moi pour une baignoire. Cela retient tout les cheveux. L'étoile ne bouge pas quand on se douche. Et oui je pense qu il faut effectivement la rincer après chaque usage si on veut eviter l installation des moisissures à long terme. Normal en fait

Aunque en mi caso, la ventosa no llega a agarrar bien a veces y pierde su funcionalidad. Pero se solventa de fácil manera. Cuando esta en su sitio es buen sistema.
