I wish the stainless steel bucket was more solid. It caved in when a friend was helping me test it to get it up to pressure, so now it is 6 sided. The first few pages in the instruction book didn't even apply to any milking machine. Also never explained what the lever were for on the goat teat cups. They were open, so that is why it wouldn't get up to pressure for me. Once it was closed, it took 5 minutes to get up to vacuum pressure. My only complaint on the performance is that sometimes one cup will just slip off one of my goat's teat for no reason that I can figure out. On my cow, she kicked at a fly and the teat cups fell off while milk was streaming into the bucket! I wish this milking machine had more vacuum pressure. I am new to using milking machines, so it is taking double time to milk by machine then by hand, but I only used it 3 times before I loaned it to above friend as his machine burned up. His family said it works well, just different than what they are used to. Later I was updated that it would fall off in the middle of milking their cow and it didn't completely milk her out as well, so her production went down. I told them you really need to finish by hand. They didn't have to do that with their old one.
I hope that once I start using it regularly it will be much faster and easier for me to handle. I'm having to learn as I go,.
