"I love this product!"

It will also flip to the side of the tank as shown in another customers review video. This tool helped me clean all the glass in about 2 mins. I had a couple of problems as it was the first time I have used anything like this. Scrubs away even the toughest alge. If this company ever needs a spokesperson I am their man. Works very well to clean algae from the glass. No snails or shrimp would stand a chance.

YCTECH Final Thoughts

"Good suction, adjustable."

For this tank, the magnet is too strong. I cleaned it in the sink then cleaned my other 20 long tank. This vac is incredible, a power stronger than most of the canisters and sump filters. I may modify mine to be more robust. I almost spent more and got the big name brand one. The scrubber is identicle to the material used in velcro. Prolly also easier to use with larger hands.

"No more buckets!"

I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. If I had to purchase again, I would try the smaller model. Product arrived really quick and is packaged nicely. It came with 2 attachments, a plastic one and a metal razor one. I would recommend this to my friends. Size wise, the Medium is good for a 40B. Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review.

"Love this scraper."

Gets under decorations between plants and in corners. I am very pleased with this product! I used the plastic one when I tried it today. This is good for taking out the bull and then finishing with credit card. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy. I have a 29g aquarium and it does suction quickly as others have said. I was able to get behind most of my plants no problem when cleaning the glass.

"It sticks tight."

5 hours even adding water back to tanks. It came with 2 attachments, a plastic one and a metal razor one. AQQA multifunctional vacuum cleaner makes its job absolutely well. I'm thinking of other ways this could be used! And it's true- it has very good quality and nice equipment. The only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5, no English directions. It got clogged with a small plastic container that got caught in the disposal.

"But it's so cumbersome."

It will take a few runs to get most of the algae off. Very impressed with their responsiveness as they stand behind their product. I was able to get behind most of my plants no problem when cleaning the glass. I did add a hose from an old gravel cleaner to reach my bucket. I'll update if anything goes wrong but so far so good. Connections leak over time so I have to put some silicon joint while I join them. 5 hours even adding water back to tanks.
