I have tried Maggidan's hand pump milker, 1st one I got was excellent the 2nd one didn't last as long.
Tried Segal 2 goat pump milker the hoses don't like the cold, always had to finish off by hand anyways.
and also have the Dansha farms small electric pump milker never quite milked them out always had to hand finish.
currently I am milking by hand...I am faster and I don't have to hassle with the dang teet cups, suction, and jars.

I picked up a Simple Pulse last year and it worked great on the one I had milking.

I can't wait to have my girls freshen !

I love my milker from Mike Perry! I was only milking 3 last year (will be 6 this year), but the machine made milking a breeze. I'll never go back to hand milking; these old hands just can't handle it.
