Sawyer in line filter

Does anybody have any experience with this?  I have an MSR pump, but it's bulky.  How exactly does this work?  I've started running my bladder in my frame bag and love it and would like to continue to do that. 

Thoughts/opinons?  I've looked on backpackinglight and have found some stuff but it seems most of the backpackers are using it as a dual bladder set up/gravity filter.  I don't have any need for that.

Thanks!

They can adapt to most any bladder or even a soda bottle.
I used the attachment for back flushing from a sink, to filter water from a sprite bottle, into my cup.
No moving parts to break.
I was told the word purifier is regulated, not used on most filters, is used on the Sawyer.

I got a black one, Seems to cost more this year .          note: the word purifier
More adaptable, last much longer, and less likely to fail.
Slower than a pump.
As with all filters, freezing enlarges the pores, fine print reads, "replace if frozen."

I used one inline in the water bottle last year, It works great.   No wasted time pumping, just fill up and ride.  I had a bladder too and gravity fed the filter in camp.
