Dyane,

It's one of those things that you just take a chance on because it looks like a good idea. It fulfilled my expectations and then some. I've been surprised at how well it's held up, no leaks and the little pump continues to work etc even three years later. If it stopped working tomorrow it doesn't owe me a thing. I'd happily buy another one.
