JS Jackson Supplies Professional Bellows Accordion Toilet Plunger, Thrust Plunge Removes Heavy Duty Clogs from Clogged Bathroom Toilets, Power Plungers, Jackson Parent (Purple)

Product Information

The nose on the accordion plunger is even narrower than that on a flange plunger, allowing it to fit inside the toilet drain (as opposed to being more or less squished on top of it), potentially increasing its suction power; however, the accordion plunger’s plastic construction can make getting a good seal trickier than with a flange plunger. While some heavy-duty rubber toilet plungers (also known as “flange plungers”) have an essential part that goes down into the drain, they also still have the rubber cup around the top and for me, the cup always just curls and turns inside out and then I have to waste precious plunging time and energy trying to flip it back. I’ve clogged and subsequently unclogged toilets in hotels around the world, in friends’ houses, in strangers’ houses, and in the many homes and apartments I’ve lived in during my life. However, this plunger will not work well for a toilet clog since it won’t be able to seal properly to create suction.

While it has the extra flap at the bottom like the flange plunger, instead of a cup at the top it has an accordion shape which allows for greater pressure to push out. With the right plunger and proper technique, you can save time and money by tackling your own clogs in the comfort of your own home. In fact, it has made every clog SO MUCH WORSE because of how angry it makes me after 20 MINUTES OF FIGHTING AGAINST THIS THING!Unlike regular plungers, accordion plungers feature a flexible rubber head that can be adjusted to fit into various shapes and sizes. When the toilet is overflowing or the sink is backed up on Thanksgiving, having a plunger on hand can make a huge difference. To use, place the cup over the opening of the blocked area to form a seal, then using firm pressure, move the plunger up and down for about 20 seconds, ensuring the handle stays pointed straight up.

The bottom can even be pushed inside itself so the cup can be used on flat surfaces, but for the love of god do not use this plunger for the toilet and the sink.It is equipped with an accordion-like rubber cup that allows it to fit various toilet bowl sizes and shapes.

Using a back-and-forth motion while plunging will provide a highly concentrated stream of air and water directly where it’s needed while minimizing splash back. You can, in fact, get by with just having a flange or accordion plunger, since these versatile plungers can do double duty for both sink and toilet. I’ve thought of gifting the accordion plunger to people as a housewarming gift, but it didn’t seem to strike the right tone. Standard plungers can only displace between 2 and 4 cups of water at a time, but our accordion design allows for a much greater capacity than other toilet bowl plungers, resulting in a more forceful push.

This plunger is designed to work on flat surfaces; it won’t work well for a toilet clog, because it won’t form a good seal in the rounded surface of a toilet bowl.

Contrary to popular belief, the mainstay of bathrooms everywhere isn't actually for the toilet, and it's by far the worst of the three for that use. The standard rubber-cup plungers are prone to buckling, and they don’t always create the perfect vacuum seal around the toilet drain that you need to truly get the job done. Accordion plungers are specially designed to fit into elongated or oddly-shaped bowls, allowing you to reach and clear clogs more effectively. You don’t need all three of these plungers, just a cup plunger + a flange or accordion plunger (depending on your preference). Plunging an overflowing toilet is a messy job, and you should use gloves to avoid coming into contact with bacteria or waste.This plunger specializes at unclogging stubborn obstacles and blockages, and provides more concentrated power than traditional plungers.
