The cable that came with it was not working. I was eager to use it but since it was an android brush cable I had to wait till the following day before I could buy one to test it.
It's very nice and effective.

Update 12-19-24. 8 weeks, still working great, and does not drip. Still happy! We placed ours on an IKEA stool, perfect height.

Have been using three weeks. So far very pleased. Charged through laptop. Tubing was crimped by rubber bands. Placed in hot tap water about 10 min. & set up. Simple, just insert tube end into pump, place hose in water bottle. As others have mentioned variations of these pumps are all noisy-no exception here. Since it doesn't run continuously, we are ok with that. It's a powerful pump & clearly has a decent flow rate. Other pumps had complaints that water came out too slowly. Not this one! It comes with a short charging cable (18") & could be improved. I had to use extension cord & charging brick to be able to charge in place. The charge held well through three five gal bottles. Starting fourth bottle noticeable drop in pressure. Charging resolved that. If my opinion changes, I'll update. One complaint others had was it sits too loosely on top of bottle. Ours has a small amount of play, but not so that it would fall off if bumped. We are using Le Blue Bottles, pushing small plastic cap through & into bottle. For reference, the bottle top is 2-1/4" across. No need to look at other reviews, doubt you'll find a better pump.

Works great anywhere

This product does work. The bottles were getting to heavy (or I'm getting too old) to lift and tip onto the crock I used as a dispenser for year. This pump is meant to solve that issue. I still have to lift the bottle a few feet but it's easier.

It worked out of the box and one five gallon bottle before I had to charge it. The USB is flimsy and fiddly getting it plugged in / seated well enough. I leave it in and just hook up a USB battery pack. It charges fast and I'll get a better idea how long a charge lasts. I just put it onto my second bottle post charge. It;s not really an issue how long it lasts as it's easy to pop the pack on. I'm more concerned about the entire product's longevity. I've not got much confidence in China manufacturing so I've secreted my crock into a cupboard just in case because failure means a wasted bottle and a shopping trip to get another crock.

One always hopes for product longevity, but prepared for the worst (store your old method) and hope for the best.

I don't find it to be too loud, both buttons work well. I did sterilize the hose / tubing--and do have some trepidation re the type of plastic. I might replace it with some aquarium tubing because that stuff needs to be poison free or it will kill fish and people will be mad. The tube secures firmly to the pump. Another worry--what if it came off? a wasted bottle and fishing expedition! So far that concern is unfounded. This pump emptied the entire 5 gallon bottle leaving only a few tablespoons that easily dumped into my kettle.

I like using a product for a few weeks before leaving a review, but some vendors start begging for a review the second the package hits your porch. I got the yellow/gold pump, goes nice with my red and yellow kitchen.

I am surprised how much I like this. I figured it was a good way to tap these big bottles and it is. The noise doesn't bother me because if only makes a sound when being used. It dispenses water quickly and battery lasts a long time. I tested it thouroughly and am impressed.
