Default Muck Vac

What size is your pond? I notice on their web site that they recommend
the Muck Vac for small ponds or water features. Based on our trial of
various pond vacuums over the years (for a 3500gal pond with no bottom
drain), the two things I would recommend are a Python type water changer
(uses lots of water to supply a the suction) or a large shop vac with a
separate pump-out feature (separate pump pumps waste water out of a
hose; can be done at the same time as you vacuum, but I find that it
pumps out faster than I vacuum water in from the pond.)

OK, so what's the deal on Muck Vac? Anyone ever used it? Is it worth
$65? I do need to find a good vaccuum system for my pond.
