Pros

Hose pipe extenders make it easier to make the handle.

Quality


Key lesson 3 the pondovac helped me recover from a few newbie mistakes that would have been really disastrous without the product


Really a good working product with good quality accessories


The potting soil was not heavy enough to deal with the oxygenation or whatever was happening in the roots of the plants


Other than that the product works very well

Price


The price is fantastic as well at around 219 with free shipping from webbs


The cost value was great when compared to local shops in my area

Shipping


I see that matala sells replacement latches on their website with free shipping so this is not a big issue

Packaging/appearance


Still works like it did when i got it out of the box


Love it we dont have to drain the pond now to clean sludge off the bottom

Competitiveness


Most of them were higher priced and gave you less


You would need a more expensive unit
