Don't waste your money

published

I've been using this product for some years now. Up until recently I was getting about 3 weeks usage,
but lately I'm lucky if I get 5 days. Nothing has changed as to where these blocks were fitted to the
toilet bowl. They advertise lasting up to 6 weeks. (false and misleading) Could this be a another way of boosting sales through stealth?
Now looking for another product which is not "Harpic"

Purchased in March 2021 for $4.00.

Absolute waste of money

published

I have always used toilet blocks from different companies but this one was a complete waste of money. It lasted only 4 days. On day one the water was so blue and concentrated but after day 4 it completely vanished. There are many cheap brands out there that do better job than this.



Purchased in April 2021.

Very disappointed

published

I have used this product for a few years now but have found the last few times the product has only lasted three days (in a house with only 2 adults) and not about thirty or so as promised on the packaging. It is not a cheap product and I will be looking for something else to use. Don't purchase if you want value for money.

Purchased in March 2021 at Woolworths for $3.70.

useless.

published

I have been using these for a while now since they changed from their caged tablets [blocks].Apparently because the cages were unhygienic.I will not be buying anymore now as the blocks suspended on a plastic hook fall off after a while and end up at the bottom of the toilet !!! Useless job !!

Dont Buy

published

Don't waste your money on this Harpic cageless product. All it does is swells up after a few days of minimal flushes then falls away into the toilet bowl. Taking the other packet back that is unopened for a refund. I work to hard to have my money flushed down the toilet.

Only lasts a week now

published

I noticed these seemed not to be lasting anywhere near as long as earlier purchases of this product so I timed it. 8 days! Like others, thus product used to last several weeks. Given the hassle of opening the new cistern to change the product, I’m looking for an alternative.

Good product gone bad

published

Being buying this product for years and it would last one month now you are lucky if it lasts 5 days. What have done? Is it because it is made in Hungary or just a company grap for money.
Do not buy as it now rubbish.

Harpic Active Blue Freshener 2 Block

published

I have been buying this product for years. It used to last at least a month (not sure exactly how long). I have kept a record lately and find one block lasts 5 days in a home with two people. What have you changed? Not buying them again.

Harpic power plus Max - Not for me I'm afraid

published

Sorry, but the smell permeates throughout the house and its awful. Will go back to Domestos. Tried this for the first time and maybe it cleans the bowl but who wants to smell this garden waste smell. Bleach itself is quite a nice smell - sorry!

just buy the regular toilet cleaner instead

published

NO it does NOT work, firstly it gets dirty pretty quick with all the disgusting stuff forming on it, second after using it for 3 weeks, toilet gets dirty and i had to thoroughly clean the bowl with a brush and regular toilet cleaner, so why would i spend money to get this crap that doesn't do its job at all???

Do not waste your money.

These Harpic and the Duck Active Blue Freshener toilet Blocks are useless once they use to be very hard and last many months, now can't even get one week. I will no longer use them.

I actually thought this product was good, worked well.

published

This was my first time using a cageless toilet block and I found the harpic hygienic in rainforest fragrance to be very good. It freshens the bowl in between uses was easy to put in etc. I use white king toilet cleaner in conjunction with the toilet block & have been impressed with the cleanliness of the toilet. I would purchase again. As I said I don't have all that much experience with toilet blocks and would also consider trying a few others to compare to these ones.

False advertising

published

Just an expensive air freshener that does next to nothing else. How can it clean the bowl when it doesn't even get dispersed around the bowl as they depict on TV commercials? Any flushing water that may come into contact with it goes down at about 45 degrees & does not even come close to rinsing the entire bowl. There is no such thing as a Toilet block that can rinse entire bowl. Get an air freshener instead.
Smell
Does not work as Depicted on TV

Useless

published

Dont waste your money until they fix the problem that makes the block fall off after a very short time. The say 1000 flushes from the loo but try around 50. So if you like to throw money down the toilet, then this product is for you then. Please fix the issue
Smells nice
Falls off, waste of money,

Works okay but looks disgusting.

published

These were cheap and simple and work fine enough and got them more on the premis they they contained less plastic than most of the modern ones yet still weren't a disgusting refillable "cage" version of old.
Out of 4 we've had 3 have lasted well and one fell off and dropped down the hole but we moved the next one further away from the strong stream and so they have lasted longer but they they do tend to go from being a nice shiny block into a furry something that looks like someone hung a screwed-up rag in the bowl and it slowly took on the yellow stain unevenly from everybody's urine. Still they easy and cheap.
Cheap, easy to peel away small bit of plastic when finished.
ugly appearance, melts away if in too much water stream.

It works Fine!

published

I use these in the 3 toilets within our home (2 being ensuites), they keep the bowl much cleaner and fresher than without. No product in the world negates the need to regularly clean a toilet with brush and cloth!. If you dont like the smell, Close The Lid which is far more hygenic anyway. Much more preferable than the chemicals that sit inside the cystern and eat away the valves and seals and easier to throw away a small piece of plastic than trying to refill a plastic basket like some styles of bowl cleaner - yuk! The Marine and Citrus are nicer smelling than the Lavendar.
Does keep toilet cleaner and fresher.
Sometimes 'melts' away a little. Still lasts quite a while though

Discourage purchse

published

Thsi product did not live up to its promises. As stated by other reviewers it does not last the advertised 1000 flushes, instead 'melts' off its hanger to wash uselessly down the toilet. 2 people in a house with 2 toilets and both blocks melted and washed away within 14 days of fitting. No where near 100 flushes.
Did smell ok
false advertising, didn't last, expensive for useable life
