I had been using a mason jar goat milker for years and wanted to get a back-up pump for it, because the tend to wear out at the least opportune time, when I saw this model for less than just a back-up pump. Once I got over the complicated assembly of the hoses and used it for the first time on our goats, I was blown away. The pulsating suction was more gentle on the teats. I like that each side has an adjustment for suction, which is handy when one side finishes before the other. I just switch the finished side off and continue until the other side is finished. It milks them down way better than the mason jar method. Cleanup was another issue of consideration. Once I figured out that one just needed to unhook the milk tubing side and wash that well, cleanup was pretty straightforward and easy enough. I'm really glad we gave this one a try and would recommend it to anyone who has a small scale milking situation.

It really empties out my goats and fast. Milking them is a lot easier now. My main problem is that the 3L claim isnt exactly accurate. The float valve will stop it from filling past 2.5L. The capacity is 3L but the usable capacity is 2.5L
