Fortune-star Final Thoughts

"Oh my gosh!"

I bought this one and I absolutely love it. It quit working after the second use! I used a plastic hose from home depot as this black hose is worthless. I gotta say tho that it's really powerful. I was using a regular siphon gravel cleaner and it was painstaking. It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before. It eliminates spilled and dripping water on my carpet and floors.

"Wish were a tad longer."

Love the item and recommend this seller! I had to put the goldfish into the other 5-gallon tank, and then do the water change. It is not good to let the goldfish encounter the cold water directly.

4. KISSFRIDAY Aquarium Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Fish Tank Cleaner Washer Siphon Water Changer

KISSFRIDAY First Impressions

"Highly recommended."

Now, the water change is a piece of cake. Best fish maintenance product I have purchased. The pump works very well too, two squeezes and it's siphoning. It's too small, just wash that baby out at the sink. It did however do a better job than the gravel vac i was using before. It quit working after the second use! I pushed the tip down into the substrate and pulled the ditritus out right away.

"So very disappointed!"

That will show you which parts go were. So this thing has alot of parts and poor instructions. And suddenly it began running again! Instead, I would suck from the end of the tube until water came out. It does the same work, only better and in half the time. The best thing is I don't need to shovel gravels out to clean the bottom of the tank. This water pump certainly takes much of those hassle out of water changes.

"It worked perfectly."

But It always ended up messy with water on the floor. It's too small, just wash that baby out at the sink. It works great and was fairly inexpensive compared to other similar products. So this thing has alot of parts and poor instructions. The shower mode make more oxygen just like an airstone. Definitely not for the common colored gravel found at pet stores. I had to put the goldfish into the other 5-gallon tank, and then do the water change.

"I'm so happy this works!"

It got clogged a few times and i had to take it to the sink and run water through it. I also found that the angled attachment clogged way easy. The easy siphoning of fish debris used to be a pain to do. I felt comfortable cleaning both my 10 gallon and 55 gallon tank. I'm only using this to siphon my aquarium water during water changes. It made the water change in our 55 gallon tank so much easier! I did have to cut one of the tubes to make it a little shorter but that was easy.

"Cleans well and quickly."

The speed of water removal works for cleaning an occupied tank. Soft tubing, large debris basket, hand pump to get it to flow. Very impressed with their responsiveness as they stand behind their product. We have a snapping turtle and I was having to clean his tank 2-3 times a month. Hard for small hands like mine to grasp and use easily. I used a plastic hose from home depot as this black hose is worthless. This is definitely a better tool overall.

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.

"It was easy to assemble."

They have plenty of suction to clean an inch or so off the ground. Water changing+ vacuuming, you can use it as powerhead to make more water movement. This is definitely a better tool overall. The pump works very well too, two squeezes and it's siphoning. When I used it to get the water out, I found out it has pump function. The water from the front yard garden hose is cold. Maybe this will make me not put them off now.
