junk
Would Not Recommendpurchased new (obviously). To start the instruction are severly lacking. No pictures to identify the parts they call by names much less to show how touse it. Anyway got itputtigether as described. (I think) and nothing. Tried fillinh the hose and pump to prime it and still nothing. So $$ wasted. Time wasted. And wound up doing the job the hard way.

Terrible
Would Not RecommendTerrible. Very difficult to work with. When I did get it to work, it would only do so in spurts (pun intended). Comes with extremely limited instructions, and very finicky parts.

Drill operated pump
Would Not RecommendI bought this off a recommendation from a Lowe's worker. I needed to pump out 55 gallon water storage barrels. It wasn't very powerful. The parts were very confusing. I would not recommend this anyone else.

Works as advertised
Would RecommendI used this to empty my hot water tank, as I had to go up three feet into the laundry sewer connection. It saved me a lot of time. My only suggestion is to either have multiple batteries for a cordless drill or use a plug-in electric drill.

Piece of Manure
Would Not RecommendI just spent 30-45 minutes attempting to get this device to work. I attempted to prime the hose, I used it at low and high speed. I will be taking it back and getting my money back. I can usually figure things out, but not this time. I usually don't complain about stuff like this, but this doesn't work at all. Period. You have been warned.

Works well, though leaks a little.

Small drill operated pump that does not work
Would Not RecommendThe instructions suggest that it is self-priming, but I wouldn't know. I never could get a drop of fluid through this simple mechanism. Yes, the direction of rotation is marked on the pump. I complied and ran the drill at low and high speed. I primed the pump, still nothing. I tossed itin the trash.
