I have tested over 30 pumps in the past 5 years. LA Pump have been making cylinders in California for decades. Here is exactly how the two differ, checked line by line against both makers’ own published specs.

Every control on it exists to fix one of the four reasons men quit pumping: guesswork, effort, discomfort, and never running the same session twice.

No other pump on the market has such features. Works with water + pressure readout + programmable via app!!

The Pump + Cylinder setup is honestly one of the most well thought out systems I’ve used. From the start, you can tell it’s designed with intention and not just another generic pump. The digital display allows you to clearly track pressure in real time, and the control feels smooth and precise rather than jumpy or inconsistent, which makes a big difference during sessions.

As a person who hadn’t used pumps before this, I was amazed at just how large it made me on the first pump. The pump has easy instructions and the AI mode does all the work for you.
Seven rounds. Same test for both pumps. Here is the card.
Round 1How many pieces you handle
One. The motor lives in the head, screwed straight onto the cylinder. Open it and start.
Three. A pump, a length of vinyl tubing and a cylinder, joined up before every session and pulled apart after.
Round 2Water sessions
Air or water from the same device. Water spreads the pressure evenly, and air lets you skip the shower entirely.
The Deluxe is air only. Water means buying their Bath Pump package instead, at $114.95, and their own page warns beginners off it because it has no gauge.
Round 3Who does the work
Press one button. The motor ramps, holds and releases, and 10 modes plus your saved routines run the session for you.
On the Deluxe your hand is the motor. Squeeze, watch the dial, squeeze again when it leaks. The Hush automates it, but there is still no app and no saved routine.
Round 4Knowing your pressure without doing maths
The live number is on the screen in inHG or cmHG, whichever you prefer, and one button swaps between them.
The Deluxe has an analogue dial you read by eye. The Hush reads in KPA, and their own product page tells you to look up an online KPA to inHG converter.
Round 5If you order the wrong size
A 180-day money back guarantee, and we size the cylinder for you at checkout so it should not come up.
You tick a box at checkout confirming you measured yourself and that the cylinder cannot be exchanged or returned even if you ordered the wrong size. Get it wrong and you buy another.
Round 6Price
A Starter Kit is $349. You are paying for the motor, the screen, the app and the water mode.
The Deluxe package is $154.95 and the Hush 2.0 package is $174.95. On sticker price they are well under half of us, and that is a fair point.
Round 7Choice of cylinder
7 diameters from 1.5 to 2.87 inches in 2 lengths, sized for you at checkout. Enough for most men, but not all.
14 diameters up to 4.75 inches and 11 lengths up to 18 inches, hand-made to order. Nobody in this category matches that, and it is the reason serious pumpers use them.
Final card 5 – 2Epic Pump takes the five that decide it
Up to a full inch of girth is absolutely possible, and the verified buyers below got there. What they report is size that stayed, not the hour of swelling after a session. Erection quality is the change most men notice first, harder and fuller within weeks, and plenty add length on top of it.

Start here
The pump, your cylinder size and the app. Everything you need to run the routine from day one.

LA Pump ask you to tick a box confirming their cylinders cannot be exchanged or returned, even if you ordered the wrong size. We size yours for you, and Epic comes with a 180-day money back guarantee.
For the session itself, yes. Epic is one piece with nothing to join up, runs in air or water, times the session, holds the pressure when the seal leaks, and saves the routine in an app. LA Pump is a pump, a length of tubing and a cylinder, and on the Deluxe your hand does the work. Where LA Pump genuinely beat us is price and cylinder choice, and neither of those is close. Pick on that trade.
The Deluxe package is $154.95 and an Epic Pump Starter Kit is $349. That is a real gap and we are not going to argue it away. What the extra buys is a motor instead of your hand, a digital pressure readout and timer on the device, 10 automatic modes, auto-hold when the seal leaks, an app that repeats yesterday exactly, water mode in the same unit, and a 180-day money back guarantee.
Yes. The Deluxe package ships with a dial gauge on the brass pump, and the Hush Pump 2.0 has an LCD. Anyone telling you they have no gauge is wrong. The difference is what you read: an analogue needle you judge by eye, or a KPA figure their own page suggests you run through an online converter, against a live inHG or cmHG number on the Epic screen.
Epic runs in water exactly the way a hydropump does, and switches to air when you would rather not get in the shower. LA Pump sell water pumping as a separate Bath Pump package at $114.95, and their own page tells beginners not to start with it because there is no gauge on it.
With LA Pump that is your problem. Their Shipping and Returns page states all cylinders are non-returnable, and at checkout you confirm the cylinder cannot be exchanged or returned even if you ordered the wrong size. With Epic we size it for you at checkout, and you get a 180-day money back guarantee.
Stay under 5 inHG of negative pressure, keep sessions to 15 to 20 minutes, and run 2 to 3 sessions a week. Release the pressure straight away if you feel pain, numbness or a colour change. This is much easier to follow when the number is on a screen in front of you rather than on a dial you are eyeballing mid squeeze.
Pumping gives you a clear temporary size increase right after a session, and harder erections within a few weeks of consistent use. Permanent girth retention is modest and takes months of regular sessions. Anyone promising big permanent gains fast is selling you something.
Diameter matters more than length. Too narrow bruises you, too wide swells the base and kills the seal. Epic cylinders come in 7 diameters from 1.5 to 2.87 inches and 2 lengths, and we size it for you at checkout. LA Pump go much wider, up to 4.75 inches and 18 inches long, made to order. If you are past what we offer, they are the honest answer.
One piece. One button
Four kits, one pump. Nothing to join up, it works dry or in water, and it is backed by a 180-day money back guarantee.
