Users highly rate the Ridgid K-400 drain cleaning machine for its effectiveness and value for money in comparison to recurring professional plumbing costs.

Cons

Should I Buy It?

Yes, if you're ready to invest the time to understand its instructions and brave enough to handle your own plumbing issues. It's a valuable investment given the cost of regular professional service.


  • Great tool to have
Style: Kit
Sturdy tool. Used it several times already. Bought different attachments for it with the money I saved from not calling a plumber. Never used one before but saw some videos that helped me. It's easy-to-use once you get the hang of it. Different attachments do different things don't expect to buy this with the equipment it comes with and think your good. Sometimes you have to add to the tool to get the job done. It's not too heavy and it rolls to where you need it. I keep all the different blades it came with and that I bought separately in a heavy duty pouch that I clip on to the handle. It cuts easily through roots with the right blade. It takes a little patience and time but it works great. ... show more

  • Worth the investment
Style: Kit
I have the older clay-tile main-line, and tree roots get in at the seams. I used to have to either pay a company to come clean the main-line or rent a machine and do it myself 1-2 times a year (spring and fall). I decided to spend the money on this so I could just do it myself, and eventually save some $$$. So far, so good. Pros: Good size (smaller than the pro ones). Works well Plenty of cable length Cons: The cable being 1/2" is a little more flimsy than a 3/4" cable is more common on the pro ones. I had it kink up on me once and was barely able to get it stopped before I destroyed the cable. In the end, I learned how to be more careful with it and it hasn't been a problem since. The wheels aren't great - They only touch the ground when tipped way back. I am considering replacing them with some larger wheels. The drum is a little too close to the ground - On uneven ground or in deep grass, it can get bind up and the drum won't turn. Readjusting the placement of the device has always resolved this, but a little more thought into the fact that you aren't usually using this on a tile floor would have been nice. UPDATE: I've had this for awhile now, and used it several times. Here are a few things I've run into over that time period. 1 - Air leaks from the hose from the connection at the machine. The foot pedal is a pneumatic switch, and I was having trouble with the air leaking out of the pedal and then the machine wouldn't work. What I found was the hose clamp that connects the pedal to the machine wasn't working right anymore. It is a crimped connector, but no amount of re-crimping fixed it. I bought a standard screw-type hose clamp and it's been fine since. A whole lot of irritation, but in the end, it was a 10-cent fix. 2 - Loose belt - This might be because I use it outside, and the drum would sometimes run on the ground. But, the belt needs to either be replaced, or I need to figure out how to adjust the tensioner pulley. The drum is currently slipping a bunch, which means it isn't cleaning out the roots like it should be. What I've found is if I put more pressure on the tensioner pulley, the whole system works much better. I haven't had a chance to look into if I can adjust that or not, but once I get it figured out, I'll post another update. ... show more

  • Phot showed a autofeed on the ridgid K 400 drain cleaner
Style: Kit
The photo showed the auto feed on the unit that I purchased and I thought I purchased the ridged sewer drain cleaner but when it arrived there wasn’t an auto fee on it . I could have sent it back and tried again instead I order the alto feed device to add it to my machine . I spent more money than I wanted to and it also looked cheep like the much lesser priced China model . I hope when I use it gets better! ... show more

  • Easy to use
Style: Kit
We generally have to call the plumber to clean out our drain 1-2 times per year at around $200 each time. I've only used it once, but the Ridgid K-400 worked really well. It was easy to set up and use, and it cleared out my clog. At less than $600 before taxes, it will quickly pay for itself. The K-400 is easy to set up. The unit is sort of heavy, so the wheels are a good idea. Setting up the machine for the first use took just a few minutes to attach the wheels, unscrew the retaining screw on the collar, extend the handle, and insert the desired tool on the end of the cable. Everything needed for immediate use is included, including gloves. Feeding the cable into the drain wasn't too hard. The 1/2" cable is a bit rigid, so some effort was needed to get past a few bends in the pipe. I found that I got tired after a few minutes, but shifting to the other side of the machine and switching my hands on the cable allowed me to keep on going. I also realized that while pulling out the cable wasn't too hard, I had to be careful to keep the cable away from the inside threads on the the pipe clean-out to make sure the threads for the clean-out cap didn't get damaged. The machine's footprint isn't too big, so finding space in the backyard shed wasn't hard. Again, the wheels are a must since the unit is sort of heavy. ... show more

  • American made quality machine
Style: Kit
I hem hawwd around between this and a china machine. I paid near double the price of the china machine. I finally decided on ridgid because it’s American made and the lifetime warranty. It kind of sucked at first, when I opened box all the loose parts were scattered and not bagged. I ended up at the hardware store to purchase a missing retainer clip for wheel. After that everything went well. The machine did just what it’s suppose to do. I believe a lot of the problems people have are from inexperience and getting in a hurry. I fed the snake down drain by hand (without machine running) until I felt resistance and then turn it on. As I felt it cutting thru clog I pulled back on cable just a bit to make sure it’s not gettting stuck in pipe. Take your time and let the machine do the work. I bought the machine with 1/2” cable and only plan on using it in main line drain. I would have gave it 5 stars if the piece wasn’t missing and also the attachments seem a bit wobbly when attached to cable, as if they’re a bit oversized. All in all, so far, so good! ... show more
