This video review was made by my husband.
He purchased this on Amazon and is very easy to use and fast.
He made this video review because there is too many people who say they cant get it to work, and its just too simple!

I haven't used this yet in a "real" situation (i.e. siphoning gas from a neighbor's car). But I did try siphoning water from my sink to my bathtub.
As others have noted, it was tricky to get this siphon to work especially in shallow liquid. But after a little practice, suddenly it worked pretty well.
I found it worked best when I moved the hose really straight in an up/down motion as opposed to just shaking it hopefully.
I think the good thing about this siphon is its overall simplicity. It's basically a hose, making it pretty durable and also easy to clean.
The downside is that the ball bearing inside doesn't create a great seal. Hence if you stop shaking the hose, the fluid will flow back into the source tank pretty quickly.
