 I own one, so here are the details after two years July 21, 2008

i've had mine for over two years. Here is what you need to know. It will pretty well need a dedicted 12 volt circuit to run properly, it uses a lot of amps. This took me a long time to figure out but once i did, it made a world of difference. Nothing worse then already pulling the black (crap) release, and the pump will not pump. So a good 20 amp dedicated with good wire is a must.
Second thing is never run it for very long, the specs say 15 seconds, and by God, they are right. I burned mine out yesterday. But i accept the blame, i did not go back and read the instructions about that, i was to excited about finally having it work the way i expected it to, and i must have burned it out.
It also leaks on the connections, it seems the o ring should have been a little fatter so it would make a better seal when you clamp it on. Nothing worse then having leakage. Now i have to find a way to get my motor rebuilt, it cost to much to just replace it. I gave it three stars, because running it over 15 seconds i accept that as my responsibility, but i also think a motor should be able to run for hours, not seconds.
I almost forgot, don't expect it to pump all the way to the house. You have to move the motorhome next to the house, otherwise it will not be able to pump. I tried using a 50 foot 3/4 inch hose, no dice, to far to pump. But my drain out is uphill a little, about 4 feet.
If it could run until the tank was empty, without having to flip the switch off, i would give it 4 stars. If it didn't leak everytime, i would give it 5 stars. But dead after two years, and leaks, 3 stars.
I honestly think it's a wonderful system, and will use mine again if i can get the motor rebuilt without having to give up one of my kids.
 This is a real "solid" performer. June 9, 2008

If there is waste or holding tank rinse water left that has not made it to the campground waste dump, this works great for transferring that waste from my Airstream to my home sewer line by removing that big square plug in the wall. Non of this cleanout process is ever any fun, but this comes close!
HAVEN'T ORDERED YET June 9, 2008

The description needs to have what kind of power (AC or DC) as well as an "ASK THE SELLER A QUESTION" BOX. I haven't ordered it yet as I'm trying to figure out the power and what size garden hose (3/4 or 5/8 OR WHAT?) as the product description is too brief.
