Customers are dissatisfied with the flow of the cleaning agent. They mention that it's hard to get the water flow started, it pulls out water so fast, and the pump is hard to pump with one hand. The water pressure isn't fast, making the siphoning less efficient. Additionally, there are two spots where the flow often cuts off because the hose wants to bend.

"...But the pump is hard to pump with one hand if you don't have the strongest grip or wrists. It comes with a holding clip so it's very efficient...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the kinking of the cleaning agent. They mention that the hose arrived kinked, and that the plastic tubing gets kinky. This restricts the flow. Some customers also say that the thin walls of the tube make it easy for the nozzle to kink. Overall, some customers are disappointed with the quality and functionality of the product.

"...Cons: my tube is kinked - really doesn't effect flow much but there is no way to undo it.IN SHORT:..." Read more

"...When the vacuum arrived there were some very minor kinks in the hose...." Read more

"...Size2. Pump3. LengthCons:1. The hose is not as flexible as I want. That usually means a lower quality of hose...." Read more

So far pretty good
4 Stars
So far pretty good
The tube and pump is bigger than by previous one. It suctions good but then again I just got it a month ago or so. But the pump is hard to pump with one hand if you don't have the strongest grip or wrists. It comes with a holding clip so it's very efficient. Important tip: keep in a dark lace or bacteria and mold will grow in it, clean after each use. No leaks so far everything sits tight and pumps with pretty good suction. The speed is pretty good too but then again depends on how much water is in the tank obviously. One inconvenience though is that the tube is bent on one side so it messes up the speed of the flow a bit but doesn't cause a major problem.
