The manufacturer lists you can use this to unclog a toilet. I am telling you from my experience that if you use it for that purpose instead of a traditional handheld closet auger, you are likely to either scrape the enamel coating off the toilet at best or shatter the porcelain at the neck of the toilet at worst. This cable diameter is way too thin to unclog a toilet. Also, the drain size underneath a toilet is 3 inches for most homes in my area; in layman's terms, if this cable enters that drain size, it has a real possibility of kinking up on itself and then you'll have a nightmare of a time unraveling it.
They also list it will work for 3/4" pipe. The most common scenario you would run into this would be for an air conditioner drain line stoppage. I believe this is a half truth at best because while the cable could travel through 3/4" straight pipe, it will not be able to move past any 90⁰ fittings. There have been only a handful of times I've had to use a cable in that scenario; most of the times a Kinetic Ram or Gallo Gun using a CO2 cartridge is the best tool for those stoppages.
I feel this tool would be best used for lavatory sink stoppages and bathtub stoppages accessed from the overflow plate. The flexibility of the cable would be best for bathtub stoppages to move past the p-trap whereas a more stiff cable could risk damaging the trap. If you plan to use this for a lavatory stoppage, you will need to make sure you are comfortable with removing the pop-up rod stopper to allow the cable to pass access the drain directly from the sink or disconnect the p-trap and use that way. I have found that many pop-up rod gaskets will often leak when reassembling if they are older than 10 years old.
This tool would work best for a homeowner with moderate experience in home repairs. A professional will most likely pick something like a Milwaukee M12 or M18 Drain Snake that has a longer cable length, a more durable cable, and a longer lasting battery. I could easily see this tool as something a landlord or maintenance guy would have. If you expect this to unclog a kitchen sink, the cable size may succeed in only popping a small hole through the stoppage which would allow a small improvement in drainage, but most kitchen stoppages also have a lot of built up grease that this tool will not be successful in removing.

Thanks and repped.
One use will more than pay for itself.
Battery may come in handy for other GreenWorks cordless tools.

Will this product work for unclogging in my case?
If it's not backing up in the sink, just use the drain stopper in the sink?
As the other contributor skillfully said - this tool will not do the job you will need done, if it's an older home. If it's a new home, I would contact the builder and have them correct this issue.
