The pump itself is of an good/excellent quality. Where the pump takes a bit of a dive is where it connects to the 5-gallon bucket. The pump has a narrow-range to remain straight up and steady while pumping. Bending of the pump unit occurs when pumping force is applied toward the front of the pump handle causing it to bend forward due to the soft plastic bucket connection.

pump is fine, getting it into 5 gal bucket was a learning curve. I keep a yogurt container under the pump to catch the drips.
