Hi, I want to order this, but I will be bringing it to the Philippines to my jungle mansion (lol). Will this disassemble enough to fit in, say, a duffle bag? Primarily, does the main water pipe break down into smaller pieces. Hi, I want to order this, but I will be bringing it to the Philippines to my jungle mansion (lol).

It does break down into two pieces. That arm at the top is mostly one piece and is the most unwieldy. It measures 14 x 20 inches approximately along it's hypotenuses. It's all pretty heavy so I don't know if I'd want to carry it in a duffle for hours, but I think you could.

It will have to be a long duffel bag. It is still kinda long. The main pipe does not break down. Plus we had a piece break and had to have the company send another. It's fine now.

Probably? The problem would be the strap, I don't believe that it is detachable. It seems more sturdy than the cardboard ones you usually mail posters in, and I think it's more expensive too and having to cut the strap (the only way I can think of that you could detach it) seems like a waste of money. I will say that it was beat up as my carry on and my friends actually had to check their's and the tube didn't become unextended and didn't crush any of our posters. Not sure how much more abuse it'd get in the mail. A sturdy cardboard or slightly cheaper plastic one without a strap might be better though. Probably?

I had mine shipped to Houston; from there it was sent to Belize City, Belize by ship then it was sent to the expeditor in San Ignacio, Belize by truck for processing and then it was flown back to Belize City and then sent on another flight to Ambergris Caye, Belize. I opened the box, tuned it and started playing. If it can survive that I'm assuming it can survive most anything, I was taking a $99 gamble and it worked out.

Good evening I would like to start by saying we sell hundreds of Madella pumps a year and to be honest with you they are basically all the exact same motor. The only difference usually is the style of the bag. Typically the insurance companies will give you the not a stylish brown lunchbox style tote or the one listed above with the cooler. The ones the people are typically purchasing now are the metro bag which is more stylish and looks like a large diaper bag and serve the dual purpose of diaper bag as well as pump but does not look like a pokey hospital style pump What's also convenient about the metro bag is that the pump is in its own little lunch bag style size told that is removable and you can use it for portable pumping in your home your vehicle or wherever you choose to pump without having to carry large awkward tote looks like a big beach cooler. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us if you're looking for a stylish pump we have many in stock somewhere listed and some are not yet listed. Thank you very much the baby Depot

Thank you S.A. Friedman, Nicole and E. Bates. I appreciate learning from owners' experience. I live in a remote outpost, a northern fishing village, and the availability of bags mail-order affects my choice of vacuum. The permanent cloth bag sounds good for big jobs (I have two dogs). I'd like to order everything at once, and your information is extremely helpful. Kind regards, tkf

After assembling it from its box myself, I just keep using. It's working well.Sorry that I've never disassembled the unit.The answer by "R. Lavender" before this seems very practical--to separate the parts back as when they arrived in the box.

Good luck with that. It was made in China, I'm sure, and there was no paperwork that came with it about where to get additional parts. I agree with the prior poster -- use duct tape and fix your bag. This is a cheapie; get your money's worth out of it and buy another or move onto something else.

I sent that item to my home in the Philippines (already assembled) but I won't be there for another week. I will send you an answer as soon as I can.

The fiberglass structural rods are removable, which would make the top of the bag into a dufflebag style once removed and completely squishable; however, if you are using it for a pet which is small enough to allow the bag to be smooshed, then you are better off with one of the smaller versions of this product to begin with.Remember, this is a travel/transport device, not a shelter crate/cage, so try to get a size that is appropriate for traveling and short term pet usage.

Hey david, I didn't have a compartment for it either and it ended up working great. I sandwiched in towards the top of my pack so that I could run the hose out of the top of my pack and just let it rest in it. I say go for it. It's sturdy Andy boyfriend actually had a camelback bag and it was leaking all over the place

OK, I will answer your question and then explain my answer.. The short answer is yes. But... I am an engineer and very jandy with tools and things... The unit comes with a long plastic "tube" that you " tie off" at the end to create the "bag". When it gets full, you cut it off at the top and tie that end too and toss it. Then you tie off the new end and start again... What you are really asking is " when I run out of the original " tube" can I use a kitchen bag?" I could easily do this by creative use of scissors and my technical knowledge. Can you? I don't know. But it's not all that hard... Or you could just by the bag refill for the unit... The cost would not be much greater than the kitchen bags and would probably be eqsier for you...

Just returned ours to Walmart. Our packaging was completely ripped up. It took a diamond drill and two of the guys from the worlds strongest man competition to get the thing opened! So we put it all in a bag, and took it back. Shame - it looked cool, and my son was excited about trying it out. Good luck to the rest of you!

I'm sorry, but this was a gift for my great-nephew who lives in Dallas. His parents did not assemble it until they left Houston, so I am not sure about the disassembly. I do know that he loves to play with it outside and inside. He scoops up his toys to put them away. I saw one pic of him playing on it outside in his sandbox. I wish I could be more helpful. It is a nice toy.

I'm sorry the delay Katherine. I was not aware of this email until today. The bag did not work that well for me. The day I loaded it with my golf equipment the zippers broke. It is a difficult bag to fold up and place into luggage. I would say it would fill up a medium size piece of luggage.

I always take the butane cartridge out of the curling iron, and then pack them both separately in my check in luggage. The only time I ever put mine in my carry on luggage, was on the way back to the United States from a trip to Australia. They took it away from me at the airport in Hawaii, but then gave it back to me a week later when I was leaving Hawaii. (This was in 1984! Yes, I have been in love with these butane curling irons for that long!!) Again, just put it in your check in luggage, and you should be fine. I still do this about every other month, and have had no problems, whatsoever! I always take the butane cartridge out of the curling iron, and then pack them both separately in my check in luggage.

Why not order it to be shipped there a head of you? I think the box it came in was approximately 2 foot cubed all the was around. it was vacuum sealed to fit in that small of a box, just dont think you'll ever get it back that box if you are not happy with it. You may be able to take it as luggage.

Elliot is correct, it may get scrutinized, I was told it was very dense and the TSA would appreciate it being taken out of your bag and placed separately like a laptop. I started doing that and now have no problem.
