"I love it."

They have plenty of suction to clean an inch or so off the ground. This little tool helped so much my bare bottom tank looks great again. Product arrived really quick and is packaged nicely. I wanted another one but amazon just wants me to return it. It kept coming off and made a mess on the floor. I have a 55 gallon turtle aquarium and this works awesome for it. This is definitely a better tool overall.

"Been using for years."

Easy peasy and clean up is a breeze. And kind of shook it and tested it by plugging it in. Soft tubing, large debris basket, hand pump to get it to flow. I really love this gravel cleaner for water changing and gravel cleaning. Hopefully my replacement works and I can change my review. Thank you for making my job easier. Suction is amazing and I don't have any issues.
