Lidl Crivit 2 stage pump

Just had to take my Crivit pump back for a refund as it would not inflate past 0.4 psi.
No problem with the refund but the check out girl told me they have had a number of them returned.
It's guaranteed for 3 years, but only if you have your receipt!

The return rate of Aldi/Lidl/Amazon/Ebay cheap gear seems to be very high compared to an established brand. On holiday I had the third £15 "mini-tach" fail in as many years. No visible water ingress but tach readings way out of range and hours stopped recording.

I've given up with mini tachs. I use them to deduce the correct prop pitch and that's about it.
Like you I think I've had 3 in as many years, two have misted so badly they became unreadable and the third just stopped recording all together.
