Just ordered mine, got a spare batt aswell for 19.50 which i thougt was a barg! The guy i spoke to said spares are alot easier to gety hold of than the shurflo and the batt lasts twice as long. also it looks like the flo control is on the front instead of bottom (a design fault in the shurflo in my opinion). the chap also told me that shurflo products aren't a scratch on the standard they used to be as they have moved all their manifacturing down to mexico and cut costs alot. Thought it would be wise to order from a uk-based co incase of probs/ spares etc.
