It looks so much easier to use and the mushrooms look as thought they would do a better job at plugging the hole instead of the " rope " which can get pretty messy during install .

Gotta love this forum !
Were you happy with the slime comp? That's what I carry but have never used it.
I also ordered the mushroom kit because of this thread.

Sorry I'm late with this , yes , I love this pump . It didn't take very long , about 10-15 min to fill the tire from flat . It was easy to hook up the doohickey thingy to the valve stem , but I think I will be picking up the extender just to make it easier . I've never used the slime itself , just threw it out when I bought the unit . I bought the mushroom kit the other day , pretty expensive little gizmo , but for the ease of repair , i think it's worth it . One thing I learned is that you should run the pump every once in awhile to make sure it's not seized and to keep the seals from drying out , not sure how true this is , but I do it every spring , then I know it'll work when I need it .

Used plug and mini-compressor on trip to Alaska. Takes about 5 minutes to pump 15 to 20 pounds. Definitely recommend both, not CO 2 cartridges.

That's an awesome tip
