This is still available in certain outlets (see it on e-bay). It works fine but they scrimped on the length of the copper tubing so hoses connect to copper tube inside the boil kettle sometimes partially immersed in the wort. I had problems with leakage around the connections meaning leaking water running into the cooling wort. Have rectified this by pushing the hoses down further and fitting extra jubilee clips plus a bit of silicone sealant. The new version (I think) of this (second pic) is much better where the copper tube is much longer and fashioned into hooks so the hose connection will be on the outside of the kettle...so any potential leakage won't impact the wort.
Old version 3/5, New version (untested by me) expected 5/5
