I just bought two of these as a small gift but they came with no instructions. How do you vacuum/pump the bottle? There is no button to push.

It`s work like a primitive hand pump - move the upper part of this device up and down. For opening just pull it up.

Hi! I love these and they're easy to use! Hold the bottle part down with one hand firmly over the neck of he bottle, and pull the vacuum part up several times until the a great deal of the air has been sucked out of the bottle. It'll get harder and harder to pump with each pull. To remove, just pull the entire thing off. Hope this helps!

These are great gifts. You pop it over too of bottle and grip the lower lip then it turns slightly. You pump up and down then it locks back into the little grove. Hope that helps :)

You will have to twist the stopper. This will release/extend the stopper. Then cover bottle and pump until tight,.

We first saw these in Italy last year, but did not know where to purchase them. I finally found them on amazon and my husband loves them. Simply place the vacuum pump on top of the open bottle and pump the outer portion several times and you're done. Enjoy.

It's easy. You just hold the concave base at the bottom with one hand, and pump the larger section up and down with the other. There is a little hook/lock area for sealing the bottle when you're done, so if you're having trouble, push down a bit and turn it counter-clockwise. One other thing: every few months, the pump mechanism starts to get dry and hard to move. Just spray with a bit of W-40, and you're good to go.

Twist counterclockwise and lift up in a pumping motion while holding vacuum secure to bottle...

It doesn't require a button. Best wine saver ever! Just pump it up and down a few times and you're set. You can give it a little turn when you're done to further seal it but you'll love it. You can even store the wine on its side! Hope this helps.

Yes! Just pump the bottle and press the red lever above the handle. Hope this helps!

Typically you can just stick your hose into your water source and pull the handle backwards and forwards until the water comes out. If that doesnt work you can get some water in the tube and blow the water into the pumps housing. This helps actually get water into the body of the pump if it wont pickup the water from its source. You have to understand that you need to allow your water source to not be sealed up otherwise your container of water will create a vacum as you are pumping something out and do not introduce air. If your water source is sealed it will need venting to stop the vacum. I used mine as a portable beer pump.

Sounds like it is broken. Send it back. You should at least see steam. It got the bottles to hot for me and I don't have time for that with a crying baby. Send it back.

I wondered the same thing when I got the packaging. You turn the bottle upside down and squeeze to get a drop to come out. I had to squeeze pretty hard too.

My last bottle, the pump was cracked on arrival. I had to use a pump from another bottle. It takes a bit to get them to spring open, but pushing down, twisting, and patience gets it open

Open the cap on the pump. Look at the eye of the pump. Fill it up till it's half way through the glass eye. Hope that helps

You need to turn the pump counter clockwise until it releases and extends up from the cap. Then you will need to push it down a couple times to "prime" it to pump the salmon oil from the bottle.

At first you have to give it maybe a dozen good pumps. If that doesn't do it, check the hook up on the bottle part of the unit, or the handle trigger. Took me a few minutes to figure it out too!

You open it by gripping the device (I hold it at the bottom) and firmly pull it off the bottle. Easy peasy. The other answers basically say the same thing. This product really works.

We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.

You unscrew just like a baby bottle-& refill the small aresol bottle from the larger bottle. then simply screw the lid(s) back on & 'pump' the rounded top until you can feel the pressuse in it. When all done simply unscrew the lid & 'burp' the air out just like a baby bottle has air in it-tighten the lid & put away. When you want to use it again, you simply pump air back into the bottle with the rounded lid.

I think the "trick" is to first open up the small top opening of the jar lid to make sure a vacuum hasn't formed inside the jar. That worked for me for that one time when it was difficult to open. The lady of the house ran into that problem only once, and no complaints from her after that one incident.

You have to use a bit of "squeeze" pressure to get the fluid started, once it has, don't use any more or the flow becomes too much. It also helps to keep the bottle in a more upright position while using the brush when you can and especially if you already have to much "flow" going! It is a balancing act to learn how to control the flow of fluid, but it works really well once you've gotten some practice with it. I really haven't had too much of a "leakage" problem, so maybe you have a defective bottle....

It looks like a little bucket. You just gently twist it to either side inside the mashine and it comes right out very easy.

If it's a liquid stain, I just use the wand attachment to suck up the liquid first. Then I let the bot go at it. Otherwise, it'll spray it before suctioning. There might be another way to do it, but I don't think so... and this way only takes a moment. It has a very strong suction on the hose that'll take up an entire glass of grape juice in seconds - personal experience.

First shake the bottle vigorously for about a minute. Then squeeze hard on the bottom part of the bottle. If you are lucky the bottom part of the bottle will fill the reservoir on the top and then you can pour from the top reservoir into your hand or hose sprayer. If squeezing the bottom does not fill the top, then the valve between the bottom and the top is probably clogged and you can either return it to the store or else take a small drill and drill a small, maybe 1/8 "hole between the top and the bottom. Then you have essentially converted this into a single bottle with one chamber, but you can then pour from this bottle to your sprayer
