I haven't had an opportunity to use this item yet, but I'm blown away by the solid construction which should last decades. The lower spout is perfectly situated to clear the sump fully in use, the internal basket is very well designed and all the welds and seals show top notch German engineering. A quality piece of kit at a competitive price.
