The power of this pump is superb especially given the price. The 30m hose is very good quality, along with a decent length of electric cable. It copes well with fine sludge but anything like a wet wipe will block it. It would be nice if this had a filter mesh or even as an optional accessory, especially as it states dirty water/sewerage pump. Mine also only came with just a 2 pin plug so I suggest buying a Euro to UK adapter to get you going. Overall an excellent bit of kit, which for me paid for itself around 6 times over on first use.
