The MP500 moves 8 cups of water per stroke through a tri-level nozzle that seals in toilets and kitchen sinks. The maker also lists it for bathroom sinks, tubs and laundry tubs. It comes in black, white or plum with a short bucket, or in black with a tall one.
Its air relief valve opens with a quarter turn of the handle. Open it for the first press on a full bowl so the air goes out the top, then close it and plunge. One owner, 76 years old, said it didn't take much strength once the twist made sense.

Complaints center on the seal. Some owners heard air hiss through the seams or the handle joint, and a few found the hard plastic lip wouldn't grip their bowl. With the tall bucket version, one owner found the long accordion toppled sideways before it built pressure.
Don't flush again. If the bowl is near the rim, close the shutoff valve behind the toilet.
Lay old towels around the base and put on rubber gloves. Keep a bucket close for bailing.
You want water over the plunger's nose and room below the rim. Bail some out if the bowl is full, or pour some in from a jug if it's low.
Put the nose into the outlet at the bottom of the bowl. Press down slowly the first time, so the air leaves through the valve instead of lifting water over the rim.
Pull up to fill the bellows, then push down firmly. Keep a steady rhythm for 15 to 20 strokes without breaking the seal.
It opens the air relief valve. Open it for the first slow press so the air escapes, then turn it closed and plunge with the bellows full of water.
The short bucket comes with the black, white and plum plungers. The tall bucket comes with the black one.
Yes, the tri-level nozzle seals in a kitchen sink. Some owners keep a second one for the kitchen so the toilet plunger stays in the bathroom.
Owner reviews of the Master Plunger 500 Kit, word for word, the good with the bad. Reviews cover the whole model family, so a review may mention another color or bucket.
Ode to a Plunger (apologies to John Keats)My back aches, and a drowsy numbness painsMy arms, as though of clogs I had struck,Or emptied some grey water from the drainsOne minute past, and clogs had unstuck:`Tis not through envy of thy plastic formBut being too easy in relieving pains, --That thou, plum-bodied Savior of the pipeIn some amusing conspiracyHas shaken me from the wood-handled typeSingest of plumbling in full-throated ease.
Most of the time when I've got a clog in the sink or the toilet it's a product like this one that ends up fixing the situation. Maybe i'm just squeamish about such things but I don't care for the idea of using the same plunger in the sink and the toilet (ewwwwwww). I bought this one because of the color and it will live under the kitchen sink for use in the sink and the old black one gets relegated to the toilets from now on.
It didn't work very easily. I had another one in the past that spelled much faster and better.
Much better than a traditional plunger! The design and air release valve make it super effective and easy to use. Highly recommend this, especially for older homes, save yourself the cost of a plumber and get this instead. It is very durable and has held up well. The color is a true black which blends in nicely for my space. It really works and is worth every penny!
I have one exactly like this and my neighbor came over and asked if I had a decent plunger she could use because hers wouldn't "do the job," I said to her "Oh you want to use my turbo plunger!" When returning it to me she said "Get me one for my birthday!!" So the order I made was for her. Except she got the cute plunger holder cup......dang... Thank You :-)
I have another plunger with this design and it is great. This one, not so much. When I pump the plunger down, air comes hissing through the seams. I can’t get any pressure to clear the toilet. I have to run upstairs and grab the other plunger to clear the blockage. This one is just ineffective
