"Pass on this one! Slow, extremely high pumping effort and clogs easily. Water that does come dribbling out, after all that effort and time does taste good though. Pass on this one, even though the lack of bulk and weight seems tempting! I paid $165 for this in 1994."

"Very light/compact and easy to carry. Pumping is VERY tiresome due to poor ergonomics. Plastic bottom lid eventually broke on mine. Nothing a piece of duct tape didn't fix, but annoying nonetheless. The easiest way to use this filter is to fill a pan/bottle out of the stream and pump out of that."
