Is this a joke?
Would Not RecommendI think less of lowes for actually carrying then selling me this piece of junk. Wont prime or work with the included suction hose which has welded it self shut because its folded into a pretzel to fit into the box. I used a heat gun to get it to open enough to try and use it. Then to pump water it had to be put entirely in the water. There is a reason this thing is $16, I think they figure you wouldnt bother returning it for $16

Drill Pump
Would Not RecommendThis is trash. I read the poor reviews but thought I’d give it a try. Following the instructions exactly, it did not pump a drop of water horizontally or into a 2 gallon pail. Disappointed that Lowes would carry this garbage.

Not recommend
Would Not RecommendThe fitting broke off of the housing while hooking up my hoses. It is not a strong plastic at all. Good idea, but not strong at all.

Bad design Do not buy!
Would Not RecommendCAN NOT BE RUN WITH OUT FLUID IN THE PUMP, CAN NOT SELF PRIME. If you run it with out fluid even for a couple of seconds you will ruin it. You must first fill and plug the intake hose and pump,then plug the hose. Then place the intake hose in what you want to pump

Useless garbage. Lowes MUST remove from shelves
Would Not RecommendI got one, brought it home and tried it with some water in the kitchen sink. The "user manual" is total fiction. BTW, the online PDF version has a mention of "1300 RPM drill" which is NOT in the printed version in the box, nor anywhere on the box. I tried with my 1500RPM drill and got NOTHING. Both versions also claim it is self-priming, but the only factual thing I got from two calls to their "technical" support is that IT IS NOT SELF-PRIMING. First guy told me the drill needed to be 1800 RPM,...
