What I've been looking forward to this pump. Bought in May 2013, it is only just
(July 2013) been used, because I had fought the first swing weed with my old Punpe in spring.
5 applications long I had the pleasure. Then, in the middle of use, I heard a loud bang in the bottle and the flop of heavy objects into the bottle. Quick disassembled I kept the battery compartment in the hand, which consisted almost solely of 4 plastic strips and half of my expensive eneloop was in the broth. The battery compartment is literally shattered and looks it. Photo I uploaded, if you like so it can look.
How are we, in a so expensive pump, which consists of thin plastic battery compartment hold 8 AA heavy batteries? The weigh but quite something. The threads of the battery compartment is still in order and is still in the handle. Only the body of the battery compartment is virtually shattered. At the specified fluid levels I have kept.
Return time is obviously passed. The seller is Amazon itself and as spare parts are not to be expected. Now I have to see if I get a new battery from the manufacturer or I have a 40 euro expensive plastic scrap for the recycling bin. The pump funzt only with batteries. Hand can not.
What learned for life, nothing to buy what is not immediately to the regular used. I had made a test run with water to the pump out of the box, everything was ok. Then I have them packed away first and looked forward to the "large-scale operation".
Edit: the number of stars increases, because the manufacturer sent me without hesitation and free of charge a new battery. E-mail was answered within a day. Super Service !!!
