Not a vacuum motor one with the pulsator and claw ensemble to milk a goat

But its a Segal!!
Can set to milk one or two goats at a time. Got the pump installed and its ready to milk tomorrow, though word to the wize don't test the vacuum in the teat cup with your face

I LOVE the seamless stainless steek bucket and the lid locks down really easy.
I really wanted to try it out tonight but it came after milking was done but I will tell yall how it went

Excited to hear a report back. My fibromyalgia causes my hands to ache awful at times. Tried to teach my human kids to milk but teenage laziness sometimes causes temporary issues with their learning curve.

It worked wonderfully!! I had to keep checking it, cause it just seemed too easy! While it was milking her I was able to put the kids back in the big pen instead of listening to them hollar the entire time I was milking, then went back to check and it was done, bumped her udder and raised the pressure back to 6 it milked a little more, then she was done. Only problem is so far it was so easy that I felt like I was twiddling my thumbs oh and Candy's teats are way too small for the 2 sizes but I use my little hand pump to get the one side the kid doesn't nurse from.
The pump is super easy to get to pressure you need and comfortable handle
Can hardly wait till I can my area setup for 2 milkers at one time and have enough goats milking to fill the 2 gallon bucket!
