I have a plunger for each bathroom. My husband has to use the plunger regularly. The kids and I usually use the other bathroom and I think we've had to plunge it twice in the three years we've been here.
The solution to your dilemma is to put the nice plunger in the bathroom that other people will see (guest bathroom, maybe) and keep the cheap ones in the bathrooms that only family uses.
Ummm, I don't know about anyone else but I don't want my plunger sitting out. Those things have germs on them, whether they are $25.00 or $5.00! BTW I have one cheap wooden handle plunger hidden in the laundry. I can and have run to get it before.
There's never a need to run. If the toilets going to overflow, just take the top off the tank, reach in and push the flapper back down onto the opening. That will stop water from going into the bowl. The water in the tank is clean. Then calmly go get the plunger.
Three bathrooms. One $5 red rubber plunger with the wood handle. Used less often than our hurricane supplies. If we had to use it more often - I'd get new toilets - not more plungers.
As for the poster who said her husband caused 99% of all the problems - WTF is going on there? Does the guy not flush the toilet? Or perhaps there's a septic tank there - and he's using the super soft Charmin (which can clog up a septic tank faster than an Olympic runner can run the 100 yard dash!). Robyn
Two plungers and two toilets. The bathrooms are on different levels so I won't take any chances....
Our toilets are pretty good but are nowhere near Toto quality and nowhere near the Toto price. I paid $25 for each of our plungers, we use them a few times a year but that purchase saved us from a $800-1000 toilet!
I found a nice looking toilet plunger that I'll be purchasing to replace our ugly cheap toilet plungers that we currently have. It's expensive - $25 - but looks nice.
I have three bathrooms. How many toilet plungers do I need? In my house growing up, I had one toilet plunger for the house. If you clogged the toilet, you ran around and found the toilet plunger. My spouse says we need one per bathroom.
What's your opinion? I hesitate buying 3 because $75 for toilet plungers seems wasteful. It does seem handy to have one per bathroom.
Put that money towards Toto toilets and you won't need any plungers. Haven't needed a plunger once in the three years I've had mine, and I don't have great plumbing.
If you have that kind of money to blow, please, let me send you my wish list!
I have one bathroom, one plunger. I tried the $1 plunger from Dollar Tree but it split easily so I "upgraded" to the heavier duty $5 one from my local grocery store.
It stays under the bathroom sink. It gets used a bit more here than other places we've lived because the toilet is old, the house is over 100 years old, and the apartment building has plumbing issues but that's their problem, I'm not replacing toilets in a rental on my own dime.

We have 1 per bathroom. Just put the nice one in the guest bathroom, and cheap ones in the others.
I'll bet Martha Stuart has one of those...with a little bow holding a bag of potpoohree in it!
