Pros & Cons
Pros
Hose pipe extenders make it easier to make the handle.

Highlights
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
