Installation was easy and straight forward. Removing the old drain took a lot more time. The build quality seems good. Only time will tell if it holds. So far, I did not have any leak issues. I did not use plumbers putty. I only used the provided gasket. This model makes it easy to clean the drain. You can unscrew the top, and you have easy access for maintenance. This is the main reason that led me to replace my old stopper, as gunk built up and mold developed. There were many spots in which gunk could cling to and this stopper did not. The only negative I see is that the water pools around the drain. It does not completely drain because it does not sit completely flush. Only time will tell how much of a problem this would be in the future. I could wipe the drain after every use to prevent problems, but that is not something I should have to do.
