Aquarium air-pumps - which are best?

Why don;t you know thew answer to this questioon yourself .afterall
your the self imposed queen of fish and ponds and seem to think yu
know everything..........and here you are asking us common folks what
is best. Perhaps one of yur sock puppets can answer that question, and
with all the hot air they seem to have you should not have a problem
with getting all kinds of already heated air, and then you can turn
off your heaters a well.

I'm so tired of buying airpumps that wear out in less than a year. We
replace the diaphragms and flappers and the improvement is minimal.
Sometimes they're even worse! Why is this? There is no cigarette smoke in
the air and the house isn't dusty. Can anyone recommend an air pump that
lasts awhile outside the overpriced Tetra pumps. BTW I paid $44 for one
several years ago and the replacement parts didn't fix it. Why do they even
sell replacement parts when they either don't work or improve the
performance of the pump so little, and for such a short period of time?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences?
