Good product with few disadvantages. Would buy again.

The 4ft hose is quite limited for most applications. Get longer hose or take a 1/2 inch plastic sleeve on the end and add desired length of hose. The ball inside the siphon mechanism is prone to rattling quite often, significantly limiting the speed of the glow. Despite these 2 small complaints, the product lives up to its design. Simple, efficient and will never drain your battery like a battery pump.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Suitable for

This is not the "original " siphon hose

I had the original siphon. The new one isn't like that. This is a smaller diameter hose, shorter and much cheaper. I inserted a curve and tried to remove the curve. The smaller diameter dramatically increases liquid transfer time. A shorter hose will also slow down the process as it doesn't allow for much pressure between the end of the shaker and the outlet end. Very disappointed with this product and Revain for falsely claiming it is original.

Pros
  • super price
Cons
  • minus point available

Amazing design but hose too short

Shaker siphons are a surprisingly simple device, so simple in design and so flawless in operation that all boaters should have one (for refilling fuel from jerry cans, etc.) . own fuel tanks). Only ONE flows with this manufacturer's offer. The hose is just too short! In the real world this product will not work - the device works very well but the hose supplied will not work in many real world applications. If you don't mind swapping the pressure end of the hose, you're fine, but if you don't…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Hard to say

Works if you play around with it enough.

This thing works. Even if it's a bit fussy. I'm not sure the glass ball seals very well inside, and you're struggling to get the liquid moving through the tube faster than it can flow out through the valve on the copper end. Once you fill the tube with liquid (and deflate the air) it becomes self-sustaining and continues to draw liquid indefinitely. I use it to fill gas from a motorcycle tank and fill up liter fuel bottles that otherwise cannot be filled directly at a gas station.

Works but needs some work

The siphon seems to be a decent product overall but the one I received was so twisted and glued it left two big creases. I had to heat the kinks with a heat gun to fix them in order for the siphon to work. The vinyl still warps near one of the creases. I don't know how long the tube will last. In addition, the adhesive in the tape was very difficult to remove. I will be using a drinking water siphon so I am limited as to what I can use to remove the glue. My advice to the manufacturer is to…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Pretty ok

Easy to use and high flow rate!

Wow! Great siphon, hold the outlet lower than the inlet and give the inlet a quick shake for a few seconds and you're good to go. Solid materials in my opinion, although I didn't measure the flow rate, I did test it in a five gallon bucket. I filled the bucket and ran the hose until it overflowed. The bucket was placed on the table about three feet off the ground. I put in the siphon and shook it, the garden faucet was still leaking, and two minutes later the bucket was empty, the siphon…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of style
