K-45 Sink Machine is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 47.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rabrod from Good Product Although it took a little "getting used to", this machine performs very satisfactorily for what it is intended to do. It is a bit heavy, but does the job very well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Arzzi from Robust and simple to use. Good value, does the job well. Could do with longer cables.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RiverBuck from Handy as pocket on a shirt for smaller drains! Perfect for drain lines 1-1/4" to 2".Works great on bathtub and shower drains.It is a little heavy underneath a K-sink but still 10X easier than the manual hand crank drain cleaners.Love the auto feed on all of the RIDGID drain cleaners.Performs great, that is why I keep buying RIDGID brand tools.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jungr from this product is used by professionals in the field because it works using this tool will pay for itself with just about two uses not to mention the time saved waiting for a contractor to do the work. Ridgid has nice features and replaceable cable and end attatchments anything needing more than this tool would take a contractor to repair anyway

Rated 5 out of 5 by JDinAR from Works great! I've only had this sink machine about a week or so, but I've used it a few times and it has done its job perfectly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Frankrizzo from Weight distribution The K-45 is a great machine but trying to use it under a sink can be a struggle when you are trying to hold up the machine to the drain. So I made a third hand (leg) to help balance the back end while you use your other two hands operating the device. (SEE Photo)

Rated 5 out of 5 by PAPAMIKETROLL from This K-45 AF drain cleaner is made well,stands up to abuse & works efficiently with the auto-feed. I am a DIY & have used an older borrowed RIDGID drain cleaner in the past. The K-45 AF I recently purchased has already been used through 3 roof vents, 3 cleanouts, shower drain and the main line where I live just to keep everything flowing smoothly. I am impressed with its durability and ease of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eltigregm from This tool is compact, powerful, efficient and effective. In ten minutes, my bathroom sink drain was cleared and working fine. Thank goodness! I'm 77, and find getting down on my knees plus bending forward to get into a small cabinet not fun! The tool with its 3/8 inch cable isn't light-weight. But, with it's powered forward and reverse, after dropping the j-bend, the cable went in and negotiated the turns in the drain as if it was made for that specific challenge. I had had a plumber out a short while before to the tune of about $200, but the drain had blocked again. Now, even if it clogs again, I'm ready. Plus, my brother-in-law has told me that he is surely glad to know I have this tool.
