"...Excellent bit of kit. R.F.K." Read more
"This is actually potentially a good product but sadly the packaging always damages it...." Read more
"Serves its purpose, but if the bore of the tube were slightly wider it would work faster." Read more
Customers find the product easy to use.
"Bought to update my equipment for start of new year. Perfectly easy to use and keep clean Gives a good finish to any brewing." Read more
"Simple, effective, works. Could do with being a little bit longer, otherwise it's great." Read more
"...So it's not useful for me. Too simple" Read more
"Simple and easy to use. I'd recommend using it with another person - one to hold tube in the must and one to use the siphon." Read more
Customers appreciate the sediment removal feature. They say the bottom piece reduces the amount of sediment sucked up and is effective at screening out sediment.
"...The liquid comes out at a good rate and the sediment is avoided by the 'guard' at the end. Well worth it..." Read more
"...The filter system draws from above so it is surprising effective at screening out sediment." Read more
"...the anti-sediment attachment at end of the glass tube - it tends to stir up sediment if it gets moved during the suction process and it holds liquid..." Read more
"...The cap at the other end also does a great job and reduces the sediment you take through to the second vessel. Worth the extra pennies!" Read more
Customers appreciate the tap control. They find it convenient and useful, with a good tap that doesn't drip when closed.
"...off keeps the suction end out of the sediment/yeast and the tap gives you more control and its useful if you are siphoning into different vessels,..." Read more
"Good quality. Unlike some such devices the tap on this one is good and does not drip when closed...." Read more
"Does what it is supposed to, but the little tap is useless so I didn’t use that. And the pipe is a bit short." Read more
"It's a simple siphon tube, with a on/off tap. But as the headline says, would have been better with a filter. Not a big problem, I have made my own." Read more
Customers have different views on the value for money. Some find it okay and worth the price, while others say it's a waste of money. The tap and filter are cheap, and creating a vacuum using your own tools is easier.
"...Other than that, great value." Read more
"Didn't realize this doesn't have anything to pump with. So it's not useful for me. Too simple" Read more
"...Well worth it..." Read more
"...The tap and filter are cheap and it is far easier to create a vacuum using your thumb. Overall pretty useless." Read more
Customers are unhappy with the size of the product. They mention that it's too short for racking a 25-litre fermentation vessel, the pipe is slightly too large for both the syphon tube and the tap, and doesn't seal properly. The flexible tube length is also a little short, and it comes in a long slim plastic bag which necessitates the tubing being bent.
"The tube was kinked when unpacked. Also it too short to use from the worktop to the floor" Read more
"...When bent over the fermentation bin, it creates a bend which also narrows the tube." Read more
"...It comes in a long slim plastic bag which necessitates the tubing being bent back on itself - creased shut - 3 times...." Read more
"...the pipe is fractionally too large for both the syphon tube and the tap and doesn't seal...." Read more
Customers are unhappy with the kink resistance of the product. They mention it has a tendency to kink where it meets the rigid pipe, and it was difficult to get rid of the kinks due to how it was packed by the manufacturer.
"The tube was kinked when unpacked. Also it too short to use from the worktop to the floor" Read more
"...the tube had multiple kinks in it due to how it was packed by the manufacturer - I tried to get them out with..." Read more
"...It works, but a few inches more would help. Also, rather too easy to develop a kink where the flexible tube meets the hard plastic." Read more
"The tubing is rigid and inflexible and it is impossible to get rid of the kinks caused by bad packing...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the product. They mention it's overpriced, made of flimsy plastic, and keeps collapsing when in use. Some customers also say the end broke off or was damaged when shipped.
"Could do with being a bit more robust." Read more
"...This made it really difficult for one person to use as the hose kept collapsing where the kinks were...." Read more
"Good quality. Unlike some such devices the tap on this one is good and does not drip when closed...." Read more
"Overpriced, low quality, flimsy plastic and not long enough to be of any use...." Read more
