sorted byYou plug mine into a USB charger plug to power it. The top comes off with a metal tube to insert into the bottle/can of beer then put top back on and dispense the beer. It sucks the beer up and uses an ultrasonic pulse to create a really foamy draft beer head.
Careful when get to end as it spits foam out as the beer runs out. Can fit up to 1L cans in mine from memory but this looks a bit thinner so may only take standard 330, 440, 500, 568 jobs. Maybe 660ml.
To clean just stick a pint glass of warm/hot water in and pull it through into another empty one.
For this price it's good. For the £100+ mine was not so much. It was a gift. (edited)

So this will end up in the cupboard,as you say it's a bit of a novelty. (edited)
The Lakeland one runs on USB or AA batteries, making it portable
It works using sound waves and fluid dynamics to achieve the perfect pint. Once you’ve poured most of your beer, push the handle backward (away from you) to begin the ‘sonication process’, applying sound waves to convert the beer’s natural carbonation into a deliciously creamy micro-foam, giving your beer an aesthetically pleasing head. These uniform, tiny-sized bubbles create the perfect density that delivers the enhanced aroma and flavour, making your favourite tipple taste better than ever
Also early tests on just the lager whilst ging a decent head, the head goes quickly which I was not expecting. Maybe it was that particular beer I dont know, will try again tomorrow with something different
Will I continue to use it?, yet all the time, doubt it, time will tell.
After you've had a few beers though.
Though not knowing what the limits of the pump ability itself is we feel anything over several feet long might struggle to pump at the original speed. But yeah, as a device for foaming and pumping beer seems a steel for the price when it's an identical copy of something costing 2-4 times the price.
Other that that, the only other options are the more portable devices that fit directly on the can\bottle top and pour it from there to foam, yet they are pretty much the same price as this.
That it doesn't take standard sized 500ml bottles feels a little crazy and restrictive seeing as the fizzics apparently does and even bigger, upto 660 ml. Feels like they have cut corners to fit the price point with this and made it smaller than it ideally should be and not universal by restricting it to no more than 500ml cans or 250\330ml bottles.
Even tried simply resting the main unit on top of a 500ml bottle to test, wouldn't pump a drop so maybe there is a seal valve for this in order for it to work?. But going to look at finding out for sure and play around with it as might be able to hack it of sorts as a despenser if it doesn't require a seal around the housing to despense.
As the alternative is a more handheld version that simply clips on top of any sized can or bottle to do the same thing.
Though thinking that the quality of the seal affects the dispense speed. And no rubber seal that I can see suggests it could be more capable than it is if you can maybe improve the seal with ptfe take or such.
