3L Goat Milking Machine,Rechargeable Adjustable Suction Pulsation Vacuum Electric Milker,Portable Automatic Breast Pump with 2 Teat Cups Stainless Steel Bucket for Goats(Upgrade Model)

I bought this with a skeptical mindset, thinking that it probably wouldn't work and I'd end up sending it back. I was surprised at how well it worked, so much so that I also bought another one in the next size up. I will keep this one for when I need to milk out colostrum from a new momma goat, the larger one I'm using on the regular milkers. It's very easy to use, you just have to remember that you need to build up vacuum before the milk will start to flow. I turn it on, with the valves closed on the inflation tubes and start filling water buckets. By the time I'm ready to milk, the unit is ready to go. I really like that it's adjustable too, so I can adjust to fit the goat's comfort level. Clean up is really easy too. Run hot soapy water through the unit first, followed by clear water after each milking. Once a week take everything apart for a deep clean. Love it!

I'm glad I waited to write this review as I just now need a replacement part for it after 1.5 years of daily use on 1-3 goats every day, and it has been great. The only reason I even need another vacuum box now is because my dogs damaged it, not because it stopped working on its own.Top points:- Great suction at varied speeds- Fairly easily to clean using the items that came with it and soaking daily after use- The only time I've had suction issues is when there was a small crack or puncture in the line that was easily taped over or cut off (since it's almost always in the last inch or so)- Before the dogs I have dropped this thing a hundred times, it's been left in the rain, and we've hooked it up the wrong way and pumped it full of milk, for it to come back strong every time.I'm speaking with the company now about a replacement pump, but even if they can't deliver, I'll buy another one. I'm just hopeful I can save a few bucks.

I would leave zero stars if I could. This milker will last you 4 months, tops. Once this milker gets too many negative reivews, the sellers creates another listing under another company name. I have ordered 3 from 3 different companies, and the milker is identical, right down to the instructions. The motor/suction has failed in every single one. In the last one I purchased, I made it a point to unhook the tubing after every use to prevent condensate from getting into the motor; it made no difference. It's cheap, and in this case you are definitely getting what you pay for.

Easy to set up and simple to use. Super easy to clean. This has been game changer for milking our goats.

I ordered this milk machine and it worked great for the 1st week then all of a sudden it stopped pulsating. I messaged the company and they asked a few questions and I sent them a video and they sent me a new one right away. The machine has been working pretty good. I only have 2 goats so I don't know the durability for heavier herds. But I'm pretty happy with it and the customer support. Plus don't message Amazon. Email the main company from the user manual that comes with it.

UPDATE!!! so You need to let the pump run for a little while with hoses clamped so it gets the air out of the milking chamber. Make sure the teat is in and close to the utter then unclamp suction will begin!Well right now a two star because I do like it's compact style! But, it didn't work.... all my tubes were hooked up correctly. I charged it overnight and when I got to milk there was no suction even with suction all the way up it just vibrated. Looking for some technical support. ~jc

The instructions were sparse (but entertaining if you know 10 languages and want to read every permutation). Just follow the diagram. I suppose it's pretty easy, but...It's hard to remove the tubes and cleaning them would be a pain. And you'd have to clean these tube every day. Wouldn't it just be easier to milk by hand then?I found that the suction cups did not stay on my goat's teats. There was just not enough suction to do the job. Nor were they effective as compared to milking by hand.In fairness, my girl just doesn't like being milked and doesn't produce that much. She's not all that fond of nursing, in general. Not a good mother, I think. And not a big milk producer.So this was a bust for me. But if I ever get a milker again, I'll give it a try. In the meantime, this device is going to sit in the closet in our house.

I have one milk goat and she is a kicker. Getting this machine reduced the time spent milking cause she only has patience for a short time. She refuses to eat while being milked so there does not seem like any other way. I have had it for 2 months. It started to take longer to vacuum so I suspected the hoses were getting too large. I cut off the ends that were flairing. It's good again. (Being taken off and on every time.) All I needed to do was contact them for a new set. They responded quickly! Thank you! It works great. I ordered a new set so I didn't have any down time. The price is right!
