It seemed like such a good idea when I saw it on the endcap at the LHBS. I bought a Fermtech Auto-Siphon for 3/8" regular carboys/pails/jugs, but there was a problem. It neglected to say on the package that this product only works with really short carboys. I had to modify the thing in the middle of trying to rack to the secondary and then I was able to get it through the mouth of the carboy and extend it. Then in the process of moving the end to get out of the trub I lost my siphon but there was no way to restart it since the part you have to hold on to to pump was down in the carboy What a pain in the rear. I guess I'll stick with the racking cane.
