How long do you need to perform the plunging for it to be effective?

I probably do less than 3 sets of 20, but I let it soak in-between sets. I do the bathtub full, so I plunge around the tub in lines. Each circular foot probably gets 30 plunges total over an hour or two.

How many up and down pumps do you have to do to get the laundry clean? I am washing my clothes in a 5 gallon bucket.

First, i must say that it all depends on how dirty the clothing is. I am a 72 year old woman with no clothing to wash but my own and I rarely get my clothing very dirty except for the occasional spill. I do my wash in a 5 gallon bucket, and I only wash a few (less than 10) pieces at a time so that they can move around in the wash water. Having said that, I have found that my clothes are clean and ready to be rinsed after about 15 to 20 pumps. I then empty the water, wring out the clothes, refill the bucket with rinse water and pump another 10 to 15 times. Then I empty that water, wring and rinse again, but without using the pump again. Then I wring the clothes out and hang them to dry. I really like it and it saves a lot of money!!!

It seems people either love it or the handle broke. seller: how are these people breaking your product so i won't do that too? tell me; i'll buy.

I'll give my experience. In my first month of use the shaft pulled apart. The blue T handle attaches to a piece of cast metal which is press-fit onto the first section of aluminum shaft. The aluminum shaft pulled free from the cast metal part on the upstroke. I do not use it too vigorously, and in fact I am disabled primarily due to my weak and damaged heart, so I purposefully do not overexert. In any case it simply pulled free. I used a bead of Shoe Goo inside the metal piece and pressed the shaft back into place where it has been ever since. Buy this, and a tube of Shoe Goo for when you pull it apart. Another bright side: It uses standard broom stick threading so you could always pick up a wooden handle if need be. I *STILL* recommend it over a plunger which I used for years before getting this.

I'm having trouble putting the handle together when I click the two little buttons to click the handle parts into place. Any tips?

I had the same problem. After several frustrating attempts, I held both buttons down but leaving the bottom portion of the buttons exposed, while I rotated the part I wanted to click in while pushing in. The holes finally captured the bottom part of the buttons I had left exposed.
