I was quite surprised by this siphon, especially for the price. I didn't expect it to be as, well, as nice as it was. If anything, I fully expected something a bit flimsy or cheap. Yet, color me surprised. The siphon came with two hoses, both of which seemed to install easily onto each end of the bulbs. There were metal fasteners, or clips, included that could be used to secure the bulbs onto the hoses. The bulb seemed to be made of rubber, which was thick enough that I could squeeze it, store it, or be positive that it would last for a while without cracking or leaking.There were extra pieces included, which I also didn't expect for only a few bucks. There was a retainer clip to keep the hose in place, as well as a pinch clip to stop the flow of liquid through the plastic tube. There was also a brass extender included, which I found was useful if you need to add another section of hose.The only issue I've found is that using a manual siphon can sometimes mean that things might take a bit of time. If you're squeezing the bulb to get things in progress, releasing the bulb can cause the liquid to move back up--which will cause a bit more time to be taken. Nonetheless, extra time or no, I would still say it works great for the price.

Simple, effective and cheap. This product does exactly what it's intended to do - siphon water from one end of the hose to the other when the pump is squeezed. Assembly takes maybe a minute and is very straightforward. There are only two ways I can see anyone messing up using this product:1) It's been assembled incorrectly and the hoses aren't properly attached to the pump.2) It's not in the correct orientation. Because of the back flow valve this will only work one way. This is helpfully noted on the pump with an arrow but it doesn't really stand out.This is a dead simple product that should work for a long time. Would recommend to others. Would buy for myself.

PRODUCT:“Gasoline Siphon Hose Pump, Portable Water Gasoline Diesel Hand Fuel Transfer Siphon Pump Fuel Transfer with 2 Premium PVC Hoses By CHERALKEST”-------------------I’m using this to drain yard tools equipment etc. gas tanks of gas back into a gas can, at the end of the season.Lawnmowers, snow blowers, chainsaws, weed eaters, etc..This is working well for that purpose.It comes mostly un-assembled. (The bulb was ready to simply push the tubing onto, and clamp it.)The clear tubing is ~1/4” Inside Diam., and the brass metal fittings on the squeeze bulb and brass hose connector (or used as a tip weight) are 1/4" ID also, so flow rate is not high. (but perfect for my needs)The white hose clamp can pinch the tube closed completely, depending how hard you squeeze it. It latches in 4 positions (5th one was too tight to click). This hose shut off can be put at either side of the bulb. Up to you.I noted that after I’d siphoned some gas out, I then checked the included brass tube connector fitting that I'd used as a tube weight to help hold it in the bottom of the small gas tanks.I pressed that fitting into the other tubing end, and that tube end had expanded. That end was now too loose to hold onto the barbed fitting now. (the other end still held since gas hadn’t reached that material, yet.)With that as a warning, I added a tie wrap to the tubing holding the brass fitting.I do NOT want it falling out of the tubing into a gas tank or can. (and it is brass, so it can’t be retrieved with a magnet.)If you are working with water, then you likely won’t have this issue.Both of the fittings on the squeeze bulb include a metal spring squeeze clamp to hold those tubes onto those barbed fittings.One of the tubes was 32” long.The other tube was 4 feet long.It’s up to you whether you use the full lengths, or cut shorter, and which tube length to put on top of bottom side of the squeeze bulb.A blue “Tubing-Holder” was included. (It’s 3/4" opening clip could slide onto a bucket lip or something, and it’s tubing width is adjustable to hold the tubing in place but not close it off.It was trickier to push the tube holder width open again, but doable.The Squeeze Bulb has a one-way valve in it so it can only feed one direction.It closes when squeezing and opens when there is no back pressure.The bulb has an ARROW on the side showing which way is “down”, or fluid flow direction.The bulb fittings themselves are held very tightly in place in the bulb with spiral spring clamps.Remember to keep squeezing the bulb until the air in the upper tube is pulled down through.The flow wasn’t fast enough otherwise to keep air bubbles from rising back up the upper tube above the bulb if not pumping them all out first.If you stop with air still in the upper tube part, then when the air gets to the top, then it will stop the siphon action.There may be some air still in the bulb, but you either squeeze it out, or under normal siphon, it may clear out with small bubbles seen in the bottom tube getting pushed down.---------------------------------------LIKE:This works very well for a small gas tank.It’s too soon to tell how well the Squeeze Bulb rubber will hold up over time.Price is good.I have some small indoor water feature display items. I’ll be getting another one to use with the water in those. (easier than dragging out a wet dry vac. to suck out the water, and then have to spend time cleaning the vac.If you are wanting to get water out of a 30 gallon or larger fish tank, this would take a long time. You would want a larger diameter hose.---------------------------------------DISLIKE:I noted that after I’d siphoned some gas out, I checked the brass fitting I used on the end of the tube as a tube weight to help hold it in the bottom of the small gas tanks.I then pressed that fitting end into the other tubing end, and that tube (exposed to the gas)had expanded. That end was now too loose to hold the fitting now. (the other end still held since gas hadn’t reached that inside material, yet.)With that as a warning, I added a tie wrap to the tubing holding the brass fitting. I do NOT want it falling out of the tubing into a gas tank or can. (It is brass, so it cannot be easily retrieved with a magnet.)If you are working with water, then you may not have this issue.---------------------------------------

This thing does not work good better off getting an electric one

I got this to help drain a filter reservoir attached to a washout sink. It does the job. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be though.
