Best Auto Feed Drain Cleaning Machines

For a budget buyer who wants a long cable and auto feed for small drains. Ignore the 8 in claim and keep it to sinks, tubs and floor drains.

For an occasional user who wants the most cable and auto feed for the least money. It is a budget clone with little backing.

For a budget buyer who wants a long cable and plenty of cutters for home drains. Support and parts are the gamble.

For anyone clearing small drains often who wants auto feed on a machine built to last. It is the same K-400 with a powered feed added.

For a homeowner who wants auto feed on a budget for sink, tub and floor drains. Expect less durability and support than a pro brand.

For a homeowner who wants a main line machine with auto feed for under $500. A budget build with no stated warranty.

For a homeowner with roots in the main who would rather own than rent. Expect a budget build with no stated warranty.

For an occasional user who wants a 3 to 4 in line machine for the least money. A no name clone with little support.

For a homeowner who often works at awkward cleanouts and wants the tilting drum. Otherwise the cheaper JR-480Z does the same job.

For a homeowner who wants to clear a 3 or 4 in line without renting. Good value, but there is no stated warranty behind it.

For plumbers and building crews who clear main lines and roots every week. It is overkill for a homeowner with one stubborn clog.

For a homeowner with a 3 or 4 in line close to the cleanout. A budget clone with little support.

For contractors and rental fleets clearing roots out of sewer mains. A homeowner with one root problem is better off renting this class of machine.

For a sewer pro on Milwaukee batteries who wants to clear laterals without a cord. Homeowners should rent one instead.
