I've got the first one on your list...but I didn't pay that much

Just found this one here still a little heavy...price wise.

edit..If you don't mind the wait...I got mine from China, and for this price you get the pipe connectors to boot...Link here

how did you power it please ?

[Icefever]

A small transformer...240v AC/12vDC, search the bay....they are on there.

I have for many years used 12 Submersible whale pump as used in caravans. Brilliant.

About £10. V fast. Sorted. A stainless stick is good so you can direct it for racking too.

Runs on a bike battery or a simple 12v wall slug. Cheap as chips goes forever. Use 1/2 inch clear hose wash out or spray with a little water to clean.

Well thanks to Mash my transfer pump works great. i got a Whale Premium GP1392 In-line Water Booster Pump. The reason i got this one is so i can add a cap at the bottom to help stop the sediment being pumped. Connected it to a 12v wall slug. Work great thanks m8

Good news. Pleased for you.

Hand powered syphon pump eBay cheap ones clear tubing orange bulb used one for mash wort transfer awesome things

Good yes. But for an extra couple of quid, you can pump from the floor to the worktop and properly save the lifting.

I started for me with 54l Carbouys which are v heavy and even more really fragile.

I'm now using 60litre buckets, filled to 40 or 50 litres, it's hard work lifting them above the boiler to use a sypon, not to mention dangerous for your back, I'm also on the lookout for a pump, the first type that came to mind was the solar pumps from the Solar project, they're food grade and I've used them before on my old Home brew setup,

here's a link

Double check the flow rate. If you don't need to pump hot liquid, I think you will may find the whale better. LPM v £
