Title: Disappointing performance
Product review: I receieved this lever type vacuum pump as a gift and used it often for just over a year, but then it broke; a plastic piece that was part of the gear mechanism snapped, a gasket came out, and there was no way to fix it. It only worked marginally before it broke, giving a fair seal that leaked air in after a couple of days. It was also bulky and difficult to store, so I'm looking to replace it with the Houdini or Vinovac which both get much better reviews.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
