Used this ddrain cleaning machine for the second time since purchase and was much easier to manage after feeding snake through a 400mm length of 65mm pvc pipe with bend fitted before inserting into the main pipe like you see in youtube video to protect the main pipe lip. It gave better control with one hand holding the guide pipe and the other pulling the snake. Keep exposed length under 500mm as recommended and you won't get that twist knot. Also found easier to manually feed cable back to drum if you press pedal switch occasionally. Happy with this product and easy to use .
