I will no longer subjuct my beer to the roller coaster ride a siphon or racking canes puts it through. Being sucked up to a height of 24 inches only to come crashing down to the bottom on a keg or bottling bucket. Mine beer gets a gentle gravity ride from the bottom of the fermenter to the keg  ;)

 

I really like the autosiphon not only for racking, but for collecting yeast to be reused. Simply rack as usual leaving a few ounces of beer on the yeast cake. A gentle swirl and then I would use the autosiphon as a pump to collect yeast into a sanitized mason jar.

edit for clarity, when collecting yeast I used the autosiphon without any tubing, just hold the mason jar need the top of the racking cane part and pump.
