"I still like it."

Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium. I'm thinking of other ways this could be used! The scrapper will float if detached from the magnet. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. It costs every penny that I paid for it. Made water changes so much faster and did not have to accidentally swallow water. This vac is incredible, a power stronger than most of the canisters and sump filters.

HOTOOLME Final Thoughts

"Would def recommend!"

The other attachment are great as well. I would recommend this to my friends. Works really well and is very powerful. This thing cleans the glass on my tank quickly and efficiently. It got clogged a few times and i had to take it to the sink and run water through it. The issue is that the sponge also blocks any debris from entering. I am no longer spending half the day to clean all my tanks.

"Who knows."

I had to make a few passes over the built up stuff. The costomer service for this company is wonderful. A little tricky with the hand pump. Works as advertised and was delivered faster than estimated. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. Works very well to clean algae from the glass. I would recommend this to my friends.

"Added my stress coat."

I did have to cut one of the tubes to make it a little shorter but that was easy. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. Water changes and cleaning can be a pain we all know. It makes my water changes in my tanks much easier and convinient. I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice. Once you get the tank water flowing out of the tubing. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy.

If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. I'm very happy with it, and definitely recommend. I may modify mine to be more robust.

"Did this process 3 times."

Simple, lightweight design does exactly what it says it will do. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. I have to drag it across the tank and it fights me. Once put together, I tried it immediately- it was AWESOME! The scrapper will float if detached from the magnet. Do what I did, and do, and so many others have stated in their reviews. I had a couple of problems as it was the first time I have used anything like this.

"Took about 1 min."

Try getting floating pieces of poop into a small slit of an opening. Going to purchase the larger size in the future. It siphons the water out of the aquarium very quickly. I would recommend this to my friends. Light weight and many attachments for different uses. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. Changing water and cleaning the tank is a joy now.

"This is so great!"

This is my second review but since this is a great product I'll do it again. I have gone through two others and they lasted about a month. So as a hobbyist I started with 1 tank and now have 7. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues. This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. I cleaned it in the sink then cleaned my other 20 long tank. Definitely like the bulb for starting suction easily.

"Great value!"

I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before. I used the plastic one when I tried it today. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. Does not come apart easily like some others I have had. It was on low so I put it on high and found that the unit would be ok. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy.

Product seems to be well made and should work a long time with reasonable care. I did not receive the glass scraper with mine, but don't think I'd use it anyways.

Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. Size wise, the Medium is good for a 40B. Even straightening this it would just close at this point again. It will also flip to the side of the tank as shown in another customers review video. Putting the thing together is really intuitive and easy. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. Connections leak over time so I have to put some silicon joint while I join them.
