"Lots of spare blades."

It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. Extremely happy I made the purchase. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean.

"It is small and compact."

Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! This is my second purchase of this scraper. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. The real bonus is it actually works. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank.

"Very pleased."

Small and inconspicuous in the tank. I would not have an aquarium without this. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. If you are too close to the top water will splash. My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. And I don't often say things like that. This is my second purchase of this scraper.

"Recommended!"

I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. Just a great set of tools for the price. It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean.

"It will last much longer."

If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock. The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass.

JBL 6129100 First Impressions

"This works great."

Dont have to get wet, its very long, about 33 inches at maximum extension. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. The real bonus is it actually works. I like that the length is adjustable, too. This is a nice tool to have is you have an aquarium. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them.

Continuum Aquatics QABM15 First Impressions

"I don't use it."

If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned.

"I got the small."

Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13. It's an aquascape aquarium by the way. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. I have used the scrapper and it removed the algae from my tank's glass very easily. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank. Just a great set of tools for the price.

"Waaait for it."

I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. You don't need a lot of force, just patience. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better.

"I recommend!"

Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back. It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick.

This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it.

"Very easy to use."

It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others.

The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. And I don't often say things like that. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. I know alot of people feel this is junk. Great product and worth every penny.
