i'd love to give it 5 stars. i used it for i think more than 20 years. in arctic climate and just at the beach.
always performed perfectly. however, this is the second time that after storing it for a year or so the grey plastic part that holds the pump in place simply broke off whithout using any force. last time i bought a new one. this time i'm shopping for parts. i will stick with it though.
Update: I got a replacement pump. the design of the pump system has changed and the new design should no longer have that issue.
