I have the original Topsider (metal gas-can type container) and the Liquivac. While the Topsider has held up rather nicely, the Liquivac split at the top seam and now doesn't hold vacuum.

loubapache is right, the Shurflo system is great. I saw his link to this product in another post and ordered it on the spot. It arrived the other day and it sure is nice. It comes with a 3 1/2 plastic container, sort of like a downsized version of a 5 gal bucket. It's also motorized, so there is no need to manually establish vacuum. However, this item is a bit pricey, just over $100 delivered to your door.

If you need the link, let me know and I'll hunt it up.
