"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.

LINGSFIRE Final Thoughts

"This was so easy to use."

Going to purchase the larger size in the future. The only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5, no English directions. Shrimp are sensitive and need small water changes. You won't go wrong with this product. I used the plastic one when I tried it today. Product seems to be well made and should work a long time with reasonable care. Almost a must have for anyone with an aquarium.

"Cleans well and quickly."

I love the little blue handle for this glass cleaner, too! I can reach my hand in, but it seems to stress her out. Had a minor issue which their service department addressed immediately. A quality product and if you have a tank, this cleaner is a must. Definitely worth the money spent on the product. The issue is that the sponge also blocks any debris from entering.

"The thing is huge, too."

If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. My puffer attacks the python when I'm cleaning. It will take a few runs to get most of the algae off. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. Ignore the orang plastic clip that attaches to a bucket. The cleaner is very easy to install, and it is multifunction. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place.
