"Well worth it."

I only needed 2 pumps to get the flow going. Wasted an entire morning taking it apart, checking everything etc. I hope that I do not need another but I would purchase again without hesitation. It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. This one doesn't lose suction, and is easy to use. My previous gravel vacuum from Petco was horrible. Idk what other people are talking about that it barely pulls.

Next time, I'll lay towels down around the tank.

"I just can't use it."

Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. I only needed 2 pumps to get the flow going. But this thing is amazing the suction is crazy!

"Quality materials."

This is how I got the NICREW power vac to work with sand and large poop. I am very satisfied with how the aquarium cleaner operates and highly recommend it. I fell in love with African Dwarf Frogs when they were in a 10 gallon in my kitchen. Python is good too but this is fast, easy and light. I lose about 5 gallons a week due to evaporation. It's also pretty slow going, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I wish i had bought this the first time.

"It's so easy."

What I love about this is the water return function. Anyone giving this product a bad review is not using it properly. Using a bucket to remove old water and then fill up bucket with new water. A little tricky with the hand pump. I only needed 2 pumps to get the flow going. The hardest thing to do is wrap up the cord to store it after use. I learned that the hose attachment was great at removing water from the tank.

"I recommend the vacuum."

It's also pretty slow going, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It has adjustable flow as well which helps between my gravel tank and sand tank. This is how I got the NICREW power vac to work with sand and large poop. The bucket clamp also doesn't work very well. I'm thinking of other ways this could be used! I have gone through two others and they lasted about a month. Best gadget i bought for cleaning tanks!

• IREENUO Fish Tank Gravel Vacuum Cleaning, Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaning, Battery Operated Siphon Pump Water Changer with 3 Pcs Replaceable Mesh Bags

"I have a 4 gallon tank."

I've done the siphon vacuum attempts with 3 different products. I have a glass bottom aquarium with no substrate. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy.

"I LOVE this thing."

If you've never used a gravel vac, get this product and watch a YouTube video. Python overkill for that size but it has it's place. If it isnt working for you, try without the micro pad in and do a great clean. Anyone giving this product a bad review is not using it properly. Needless to say there was a lot of muc on the bottom. Makes cleaning my daughter's turtle tank much, much easier. Product arrived really quick and is packaged nicely.

AmiAbi First Impressions

"It works great!"

Takes me less than 10min to clean my tank with this method. Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. I don't use the sponge and filter pad that came with the device. I have several divided tanks and I struggle to get the normal syphon in to clean. I'd recommend this, but it just takes a little practice. Returned, but agreed to try another one. I love this setup and how easy it was to use.
