Query: It syphons, but does it really work.

Yes it siphons from the bucket as long as there are no restrictions on the hose. No lawn sprinkler, no drip system, nothing can go on the end of the hose without disturbing the siphoning action. So yes, I could just walk around the yard with a bare hose end. Bought the item to make things easier not more difficult or time consuming.
