The only reason I I rate this as a '4' is because, fortunately, I haven't had to unclog any toilets yet! However, the style alone nicely compliments my newly updated bathroom with cream colored granite countertops,  porcelain tile floors and bison colored maple cabinets. I like how there is a base to hold the plunger so the actual part of the plunger that goes into the toilet won't touch my tile floors. I also appreciate how the base is connected to the plunger, so I don't have to worry about it disappearing.
