Air Pump vs Hydro Pump

I’m new to PE,started a newbie manual routine last week.I’m interested in incorporating pumping into my routine.

From what I see on the forum,air pumps seem to be much more popular than the Hydro pumps “Bath mate”

Are there any pros & cons between the two pumps?Any particular brand or style for a beginner pumper?

The Best/Most affordable Pumps?

A word of caution - anecdotally, there seem to have been some customer service complaints about Boston Pumps, and about PictureBrite from some specific vendors. I don’t think I’ve heard any complaints about Bathmate, LA Pump, Pumptoys or Vacutech.

I bought a PictureBrite tube and had not problems but not from the cited vendors.

As to air versus hydro pumping, each has its merits. Air pumping is probably easier; you don’t have water leakage to contend with.

I have a review of the Bathmate in a thread over in the Reviews forum : Bathmate anyone
