Are the pumps strong? Do the pumps break easily? :) Thank you!

Yes - I've had mine for about a year. I haven't needed to use the other one, so I'd say they're pretty strong.

Yes, the pumps are strong. I have had mine for about 5 months, use it several times a day, and it has not broken. The second bottle is sitting unused at the moment since the first is still like new.

I use mine at the kitchen sink for washing, it has been great I gave one to our daughter in law and she likes hers also. Have only had them a few months but so far they are good.

Not recently anyway. I have had several pumps for a number of years, and as I recall I purchased them FRM DaVinci. They work well, so if you have to buy one it should last a long time.

Absolutely! They are surprisingly strong, I'm starting to use them everywhere :)

they are strong enough but i dont think they would be too strong, but i advise against getting them, they are extremely noisy and they only lasted 2 months before the impellers broke on them. it seems like a great deal but in the end you WILL replace them.

I've had it for several months now and I do a lot of dishes and the pump doesn't seem to have lost it's prime. One pump is a bit too much for me. I started to do half a pump. Only downside is the usual gauging the dispenser blindly when refilling.

Since this was a gift to my Daughter in Ca. had to wait for an answer, this is what she said..hit it about 10 times, then you'll hear the strong bursts on the next few pumps. 3 pumps works for me. Good luck!

The pump is very easy to operate, even after several uses. I cleaned it before each refill and have had mine for several months. The suction cup has also made it much easier for my friends' children.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

They stay on with suction provided by the pump, but the pump breaks easily. For me it broke before I had time to get any results.

No they seem to be pretty strong. I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

My last bottle, the pump was cracked on arrival. I had to use a pump from another bottle. It takes a bit to get them to spring open, but pushing down, twisting, and patience gets it open

Clare, today I am actually replacing this pump today! As others have noted, it is much too hard to pump! It looks good, and really it can be pumped, but is much stiffer than it should be so both young and old will find it hard to use. We kept using it hoping it would break-in, or we would get used to it. It say it holds 14 ounces, and that is one of 2 sizes I have seen - my new one holds 17 oz. The pump is well made and has not failed in any way.

Yes, in my opinion the permeate pump is durable and works great, the clamp that holds it is somewhat durable but, use caution when mounting it so as not to crack the plastic!

I have not any issues with the pumping. I buy this all the time!! I love it!!

Not sure about reusable pumps, but sometimes the top requires scraping off to get it to flow again. It is like the soap solidify's some on the very tip, but it does not do it all the time, maybe a couple of times a week. Not a real problem for me.

Hi, just be aware that it may fail also with little use. As soon as my warranty was out, my pump failed. They replied to my Amazon review that they'd exchange it but then only offered a discount. Not an honest company.

I'd say so I have used 3 of these there pretty powerfull too. I used one for about a year for a nano tank that died. Not due to the pump. Never had a problem! Awesome pump!
