This 3-in-1 kitchen sink drain strainer and pop-up stopper is a clever and mostly effective upgrade for any standard U.S. 3-1/2 inch drain. It genuinely combines useful features into one compact unit, making it a good value.The **3-in-1 functionality** is its biggest selling point, and it delivers. Having an anti-clogging basket, a pop-up stopper, and an odor/pest seal all in one device is incredibly convenient. The **anti-clogging basket** does a good job of catching food scraps and debris, preventing them from going down the drain. This means fewer clogs and less hassle.I was particularly impressed with the **effective odor & pest control**. The silicone sealing ring creates a surprisingly tight seal when the stopper is closed, which has noticeably reduced any lingering sewer smells in my kitchen. It also provides peace of mind against potential insect intrusion, which is a nice bonus.The **durable stainless steel build** is evident. It feels solid and well-made, and I expect it to hold up well over time without rusting. Cleaning is also straightforward; just lift out the basket and rinse.The **one-press pop-up design** is generally intuitive and easy to use. A simple press changes it from open to closed, and vice-versa. It operates smoothly and doesn't require any force.**Universal fit for 3-1/2 inch drains** was accurate for my sink, and the **tool-free installation** was indeed quick – it literally just dropped right in and worked.My only minor critique, which prevents it from being absolutely perfect, is that the **pop-up mechanism can sometimes be a tiny bit stiff initially**, requiring a firmer press than anticipated to switch modes. It's not a major issue and it might loosen up with more use, but it's worth noting.**Overall:**This Upgraded 3-in-1 Kitchen Sink Drain Strainer & Pop-Up Stopper is a **highly recommended purchase** for anyone looking to improve their sink's functionality. It's well-built, effectively prevents clogs and odors, and is incredibly easy to install. Despite a very minor stiffness in the pop-up button at times, its combination of features and durable construction make it a valuable and efficient addition to any kitchen or bathroom sink.

I am extremely impressed with both the aesthetic and functional design of this ZCQGAH 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink Drain Strainer. It’s the best strainer/stopper option I’ve ever seen. No tools or time required. Just place this over your drain opening and press to get it to seal. 5 seconds later, your sink looks new and has the simplest, most effective stopper I’ve ever used. Just push down once to seal, push again to release, like a foot release bathtub stopper (but don’t use your foot).I put enough water into my sink to have visual guides (shown in my picture) for any possible drainage. After one hour, the border remained unchanged. I then ran some water into its twin sink next to it which shares the drain. Once I had a decent volume of water in that side, I released it to see how it might cause air pressure to disturb the seal. The pressure forced air bubbles out from the sealed sink without displacing any water.The removable strainer makes cleanup so much easier than the old flimsy style stoppers that were a pain to clean and didn’t always create a dependable seal.I love this so much, that I decided to get one for my other sink. At this time, this one is selling for $13.99, which I consider an attractive price for the improvements it brings and a lower typical price than most similar offerings. I did however find a competitively, practically identical model, typically priced for $12.99 and currently on sale for $9.99. Because the standard prices are substantially similar and I don’t have the challenger to evaluate, I didn’t subtract any points. I would still consider this an excellent value.UPDATED MON May 26, 2025: I ordered the one on sale for $9.99 and received it in one day. It is the exact same stopper but also included a cleaning brush. Unfortunately, the sale is over, but it is still $1 less and includes the brush. I now see other options that also look the same at lower sale prices right now. I am notifying the seller of the lower prices.

The pictures will tell the story here: The drain in my kitchen sink started out as stainless but, over time, what I can only assume is a cheap drain, has been fading and brass is showing through. I bought a sink stop that completely hides the ugly drain but it's awkward to use with my sink grates (I removed them for the photos). I seriously thought my only solution was to call a plumber and have the drain replaced. I took a chance hoping this sink strainer would be the solution to this ugly problem, and I am not disappointed. First, despite the description, the outer band is stainless. IT IS NOT WHITE, so don't let that hold you back from ordering. The strainer is shiny stainless steel. It dropped into the sink very easily and it has a large rubber gasket to secure it in place, giving it the ability to stay in place and hold water when the sink stop is activated. The sink stop works by simply pressing the large middle button. I filled the sink and there was no leakage. To drain the sink, you press down on the middle button and it drains easily. The top basket is removable so you can empty it very easily and then put it back in place. There is absolutely no interference with the drain cutout in the sink grates. This sink drain stopper has been a total game changer for my sink. I can't recommend it enough!
