Camco Flexible Powerful Dislodges 40074 Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This is a must-have for a camper. No matter what you do the line directly from the toilet gets some buildup at the elbow. This device cleans it out in just a minute."
• "Works great. Easy to use. Really helps to clean the tank out."
• "The force of the water cleaned up the holding tank in no time."
• "This thing works great. Tank sensors work much better now."
• "After using it just one time I think I cleaned about 3 years worth of stuck on 'stuff' from the inside if my black tank."
• "This helps clean the dump tank but didn't help clear all the sensors - middle and top are clear though, and those are really the important ones!"
• "This product has changed my black tank experience completely. After almost 2 years of full time camper life I’ve tried a lot, my sensors haven’t read “empty” in a while. But with this tool, alllllllll empty."

Cons:

• "Unless you get the revolving tip very close to the walls of the black water tank, the stream of water coming from the nozzles just isn't strong enough to wash it well."
• "The description clearly states that a 'powerful rotary cleaning action' is going to get your blackwater tank clean. After using it as directed in the tank and not noticing any improvement, (following cleaning) I turned the sprayer on over the driveway. While the end does indeed rotate vigorously, the bulk of the water's energy is used up in making the head spin - very little is left to spray down the tank."
• "It's easy enough to use, but it seems like it spins too fast and it loses cleaning force."
• "Our black tank sensor almost always read 2-3 lights even when empty from the first trip."
• "No idea if the black tank was rinsed well or not."
• "Would not fit inside of the rv toilet Could just be our specific make and model."
• "I hoped this would make it easy to clean out the black tank in my camper rather than just filling it with water, but the nozzle didn't turn very fast and the pressure was terrible also."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "Works great, sturdy design and easy to use."
• "The built in manual shut off valve is a welcomed addition as I use an expandable water hose for this chore."
• "Quality materials and design make this a great value."
• "It's constructed well and pretty easy to clean with a quick rinse of soap and a wipe down with cleaning wipes pretty much does the trick."
• "This is easy to use and doesn't leak."
• "Easy to use and can save time and money with this item."
• "I don’t usually write reviews but this product was so freaking amazing that after I used it, I came straight to this review section to tell you how amazing it is."

Cons:

• "Used the hose for the first time and the head of the hose broke inside my tank, I do not recommend this item."
• "I like this product because it does a good job loosening material from the black tank.I have had to replace it twice though because parts of it have broken."
• "Broke with the first use. I didn't use it until six months after purchase unfortunately."
• "Only used it once, then the second time we used the tubing it tore where it attaches to the wand and meets the coil."
• "Extremely poor quality the ball valve does not fit, you can see space around it and thus it will not turn off completely."
• "It lasted for a couple uses. It was bent over so severely in packaging the clear part between the rod and the pivot broke after a couple uses from the stress of the bend."
• "The plastic stick separated from the hose while in use, soaking me and my trailer’s bathroom."

Design and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "The rinser is great as it has its own water shutoff valve on it so one can control the water flow."
• "Every camper user should own this tool!"
• "The instructions were easy to follow and it worked easily."
• "Just stick down the toilet and move around for a while."
• "Easy to use and worked exactly as needed."
• "The spray from this wand hits all areas of the inside of our black tank. We purchased this to clean the sensors in the tank. It did just that!"
• "Upon first hooking up this tool I turned on the water valve on it to see how it functioned. It was impressive."

Cons:

• "The clear tubing is flexible (by design) which allows the spinner to tap the inside walls."
• "The shut off valve is weak, and doesn't prevent the water from leaking out the wand's spouts."
• "This is a very useful tool but it should be flexible along the whole length."
• "I think the offset tanks make this product difficult to use compared to a tank that is directly under the toilet."
• "You must have really good water pressure for this to work as described."
• "It's not easy routing a hose around the camper, inside to the toilet in back."
• "Keeping the flexible wand in a bag is quiet difficult but it is totally doable."

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

• "I contacted the company directly, sent photo and copy of online receipt, and they replaced it."
• "Recommended by a longtime camping enthusiast & my go to place to shop came through again."
• "This is a product that is a must have if you own a travel trailer or RV CLASS C OR A, especially when it is time to travel or to store ur rig; use this to clean your tanks for proper cleaning and/or for sanitation purposes. We can’t do without it!!"
• "I rarely leave feedback for Amazon purchases and this Is not a paid review. But let me tell you, this thing is worth the money! Really gets the job done. I highly recommend!"

Cons:

• "Unfortunately it was past 30 days before I used it so Amazon system would not let you return it for a replacement."
• "When delivered the shipping box was fine. The nozzle was broken off. Totally unacceptable."
• "On the second use the brass tip that swirls the water broke off."
• "This is the perfect tool for cleaning out an RV black water tank. It's the 3rd one of this model that I've owned...they are not as durable as I would like, but nothing else seems to compare with it."
• "This sprayer is the absolute worst.I’ve purchased a couple of things from this manufacturer and every time I’ve been disappointed by how cheap and useless the things are, but this sprayer is terrible."
