Therapeutic use of Pumps -https://youtu.be/4ojk-Fugu6A

This is not a good or informative video. First of all, what he says about inexpensive VED devices is simply not true. I paid less than $30 for mine on Amazon and it's been working flawlessly for over a year. It didn't "break in two weeks" like he suggests on the video. You do not have to spend hundreds of dollars for a pump with all the bells and whistles. The basic premise on the design is to create a tight vacuum seal and to encourage blood engorgement into the penis. I would not suggest promoting this link. He also has comments turned off (for good reason). He doesn't provide any medical facts or any new insight. I give this 5 thumbs down.

A bit harsh I think. It wasn't very informative for anyone other than total beginners but that's who it was for.

What he says about inexpensive VED devices is generally true. There may be exceptions and perhaps you've found one but in my experience the statement is generally true.

I recently bought a cheaper pump, one often recomended by members here. It seems ok so far but it certainly poses risks for beginners. It has a release button but unless you lower the pressure setting first it quickly repumps which complicates pressure release. I learned to deal with it but it should have an override conbination kill button/pressure release. The build quality certainly isn't what my 13+ year old Osbon Erecaid Esteem is but it may be well worth the $40 I paid. Time will tell.

I've also had 2 previous inexpensive pumps. One was like the one he was showing in the video. I misplaced it somewhere but it was unimpressive. The ring for the mouth of the cylinder was way too tigut and wasn't suitable for alteration. Without the ring the cheap cylinter was too thin to be at all comfortable. I had another inexpensive battery powered pump. The cylinder seemed durable enough but the pump motor housing was very cheap plastic that I was constantly having to repair with glue.

No, I didn't learn anything new from the video but I give the video 4 thumbs up for those it was directed toward, which wasn't guys like me who've been dealing with this for years. For the intended audience it was a good first video on the topic.

IMHO, For those that can afford it without financial strain, a quality medical grade pump is a good idea that may well be safer and less problematic.
