TLDR Review: OXO Tub Stopper
Pros
- •Creates a tight, reliable seal that effectively holds water in the bathtub without leaking.
- •Made from durable, higuality silicone and stainless steel, ensuring longevity and a sleek look.
- •Suction cup on the bottom flap allows for convenient storage on the wall, keeping it handy and out of the way.
- •Easy to place and remove thanks to a simple, useriendly design.
- •Stays securely in place without slipping when properly positioned.
- •Large size provides a wider sealing surface and sits nicely in the tub without protruding awkwardly.
- •Performs well even in whirlpool tubs, showing versatility.
- •Consistent build quality reminiscent of other reliable OXO Good Grips products.
Cons
- •Suction cup for storage often doesn’t stick well to walls or smooth surfaces, limiting its usefulness.
- •Requires careful centering over the drain for the best seal; otherwise, it can leak or slip.
- •Seal can be weak and prone to dislodging with movement, meaning occasional repositioning is necessary during use.
- •Struggles to form an effective seal on sinks or tubs that have a drain insert or strainer in place, sometimes needing removal first.
- •Slightly inconvenient if you need to deal with sink inserts, as it works best directly on bare drains.
Bottom Line
The OXO Good Grips Silicone/Stainless Steel Tub Stopper delivers solid performance with a durable, well-designed seal that’s perfect for most bathtubs, including whirlpools. However, expect to spend a bit of time positioning it just right and don’t count on the suction cup storage feature to always work well on surfaces. If you primarily plan to use this in sinks with inserts or strainers, you might want to explore other options better suited for that setup. Overall, it’s a high-quality stopper that’s dependable for holding water in your tub without fuss.
