I use the UdderlyEz to milk my two goats. I find it very easy and you can get parts and mend it. No tubes to clean, the milk goes straight into the bottle and the bottles into the fridge or freezer.

I still like my Dansha machine. I know it doesn't pulse but Cloud doesn't seem to mind and she hates being hand milked.

Is the udderly EZ ok for arthritic hands? It still involves hand pumping doesn't it.

I don't know much about milking machines but had a look at the dansha video, my thinking with these small milking machines aren't you, the operator the pulsator as you switch the button of the vacuum on and off ? just a thought I just hand milk but am considering a milking machine in the future. Good to know others experiences.

No, the button starts the suction off then it continues for a while. You just have to press the button occasionally to get the milk flowing again.

Yes, the UdderlyEz is a handpump. I have quite badly arthritic hands and don't find it a problem, but I suppose it depends which joints hurt. If you can squeeze a tennis ball, that sort of action, you can use the UEz.
It actually hurts my hands a lot less than hand milking.
