you are expected to have crappy experience. Pumping is based on air suction

My bottle water won't fit the ring. I think this is design for Primo bottle only. If you try anything that doesn't fit, you are expected to have crappy experience. Pumping is based on air suction, if you have leak air or unfit cap, the experience is bound to be s***ty.

To be fair, construction seems sturdy, but quality seems crappy. I can see plastic sticking out where water is flowing and it could fall off any moment. It disturbing and I don't know if it is BPA free since this is made in china.

Great marketing - horrible product.

The entire unit is clearly made as inexpensive as possible.  Cheap plastic, very poor design - you actually push down with your foot to release the base from the handle.  No suction.  And I mean - NO SUCTION!

I returned the unit in less than 1hr.

Buy a Hoover.  Good luck.

There are many reviews that mention leaking from various places. Those reviews are entirely true. For me, that was noticeable within the first month. However, today my suction hose split open at two locations and I had to repair the splits with duct tape. The splits occurred at the base of the handle where one would believe they'd occur because of "fatigue failure". It's a poorly engineered product. I've owned (purchased brand new) and used the product for roughly one year quite frequently. Our cats vomit a lot. However, I've used the handle very gingerly because I anticipated it wouldn't take long for the cheap, flimsy hose to split. Lo and behold! Buyer beware. The product serves its purpose...but only when it isn't broken.

These vacuum manufacturers still don't get it.  Vacuums made out of plastic break.

Hoover, is that so hard to understand?

Vacuums are the most heavily-used machines in households and as such have demonstrated, time and again, to be totally incapable of withstanding vacuum manufacturers' rudimentary attempts at economization through the use of flimsy, brittle plastics in place of sturdy metal.

How is it that these engineers still don't get this?  Why do these vacuum engineers continue to go to work every day and ponder, "what sturdy metal components can I replace in my product today with cheap plastic?"

Hoover, can you please scrape together a couple dollars and use metal in my vacuum?  What is wrong with you? Your plastic components are breaking! Please stop it!

The rest of my review which follows I shall quote from "Hoover Free" on newegg.com, who sums it up perfectly.  Mr. Free writes:

"Cons: Does not heat water so if you use hot tap water and turn on all the burner to can get hot watery soap to comes out but nothing even approaching "steam'. If you put in room temperature water them it squirts room temperature water. At least the Bissell ProHeat series has some heating so of you start with hot water you get decently heated water. After several months the upper container will start leaking water around the bottom seam. After a few years (used only 8-10 times by then since it took a day or two to dry due to coldness of the unheated water) the handle will fall off due to the use of cheap Chinese plastics. Not for tall people since if the handle is not all the way down o the ground as it can go it loses suction and the carpet is still soaked. The intake container can loose suction if you bump a wall since it will jiggle the delicate seal but you can just lift the lever and then lift and reset it and close the lever and you should hear the suction return."

Mr. Free continues:

"always lower the handle all the way down (only 15-20 degrees from horizontal as I recall) for maximum suction since it will always start redirecting any suction to the attachments tube the more upright it is. Expect to be on your bent over, or on your knees but that offers less leverage and this beast is heavy when fully loaded, the whole time unlike with a vacuum which maintains suction regardless of the handles angle."

In summary, this vacuum should be avoided due to its manufacturer's use of cheap plastic and the vacuum's potential to leak and lose suction.

In terms of positives, it sucks up dirt really well. The fatal flaw with this device is it's crappy battery life. Even when brand new, I think I was able to get, at most 2-3 minutes of  suction out of it before the battery needed to be recharged.
Now, I get about 30 seconds of suction. I'll be throwing this out into the garbage in a couple minutes.

Needless to say, i do not recommend this product.

The pump doesn't appear to work. It's a large blow up so it takes forever without the pump. Also, there is some sort of defect where the air goes in and you have to bite really hard to get any air at all to go in and even then, it barely goes in.

When this pump arrived at my house, I was very excited because the pump that i usually use only blows air into the balloons one way, so it takes me aout 20-30 seconds to blow up a balloon. I had purchased this pump because as a balloon entertainer, I had a huge event coming up in which I get long lines and I get tired easily after blowing up a lot of balloons in succession. However, when I first tried to use the pump, it came apart, then, after putting it back together and attempting to use it again, it worked, but I couldn't get the balloon inflated to the point where I desired because the pump leaked air. If you want to twist a balloon mouse, then this pump is just right for you, but if you want to twist anything else, then you're screwed and you might as well struggle to blow it up by mouth, unless you've got an excellent set of lungs.

Final summation: This pretty much the ONLY thing from amazon that I wish I hadn't bought. It's a piece of crap and don't waste your money. Just spend a few dollars more to get a better one, you will thank me, and you will thank yourself. Now hopefully I can have my arms not get tired at my big event with my old pump because that's what I still have to use. I am so ticked right now.

Anytime a cheap air mattress lasts 7 night, I consider it to be "worth it".

As others mentioned, the "pillows" are completely worthless.

I was surprised at how good the pump was! took 5-8 minutes of lazy pumping.

I will say, its not the most comfortable to sleep on (as far as air mattresses are concerned), but fine for short term use.

It didn't work like I thought it would. The suction is weak.

As correctly pointed out by another reviewer, your first pump from a full bottle is great! One easy push for a lot of water. As the bottle starts to empty, you find yourself pumping to build up pressure inside the bottle before anything comes out. In my case, around half empty, the air leaked as fast as I was pumping it in. The mechanism for sealing to the bottle didn't work very well, and the large blue cap started popping off as I had to pump more violently.

I must say, a fairly large number of reviewers describe receiving a pump that simply doesn't work.

Alas, I am one of them.

At no time could I get this pump to work, not for a moment.

***Product quality seems rather low.***

 You might be wise to buy something different.

I suspect faulty power cords.

I cannot recommend this pump.

The Hipster gives it a Thumbs Down.

BTW--

For inflating Bicycle tires, I bought, and hereby recommend:

much better, and with a built-in pressure gauge.

I threw it away after a few uses.  It's very poorly designed.

- Doesn't really work that well
- Doesn't work very long after pumping (must pump repeatedly)
- A nightmare to clean

I followed the instructions and was still very dissatisfied with the product.

Product has terrible suction. I wasn't expecting a whole lot power from a 12V, but this thing barely picks up anything

Air pump was broken. Remover wasn't included. And i got these answer from the seller. Bad experience.

"Plug remover? You can remove it with your bare hands. Also, the pumping does not take too long. If you have an electronic pump around it will work."

People that are giving this less stars because of no instruction or saying it still needs a vacuum pump, well I wouldn't trust their milking knowledge. You still have to have a high CFM vacuum pump. No matter what system. And quite frankly if you can't figure out what hoses go where there are only 2 sizes. Then you shouldn't have a milk cow. It is simply to use. My 12 year old milk for us and yes it saves a lot of time over hand milking a jersey with snall tests.  Let me know if you have question.

I like it but the down fall is the pump provided is awful and it will take you two hours to get it pumped up. Even then it won't fill to expected capacity. I had to get creative and use an electric pump.

I use it but you need to pump like 30-40 times very annoying.
