    An excellent, well designed gravel vacuum for a reasonable price!
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017*

This is an excellent gravel vacuum.  The quality is high, the price is moderate, and it works well. Best of all, it is loaded with "quality of life" features that set it apart from other, similar products.  Whoever designed this vacuum knew what they were doing, because the little features (squeeze bulb start, bucket clip, flow control, etc. ) it has really set it apart from other vacuums.If you are considering buying this gravel vac, I would say that you should, indeed get it.  If you are wondering how it works in various tank sizes, it worked wonderfully in my 29 high, but was also fine in my 10 as well.  I believe that it would work in most tanks up a hundred gallons, as well, although if you have nano tanks, you may want to consider the smaller version.Pros:-High quality (strong materials, thick tubing, etc. )-Clip for drain bucket. The clip does a nice job of keeping the hose where it belongs so that the filth and water go into your bucket, not on the floor., which makes it easier to focus on vacuuming and prevents mishaps.)-Squeeze bulb siphon start (the bulb starts the siphon quickly and easily.)-Relatively small tube for more precise vacuuming (massive, oversized tubes are common, but they make it hard to clean around plants and decorations, the smallish tube allows more control and precision.)-good suction and flow (it really can agitate and lift the gravel to suck up muck)-flow control switch (I love it. You have such precise control of the suction that you can be sure to suck up what you want, but not what you don't want. I've used it once, and I'm already spoiled.)Cons:-It is fairly large, and doesn't store in a small space-The filter has to be removed to clean it, and doing so is slightly annoyinghints-It has very strong suction, so you will need to be careful of that the first time you use it.-Be sure that the flow control thumb switch is open when you are starting the siphon ( it wont' start if it is closed... )

    Great vac, nearly perfect!  Worth the money.
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018*

This is the first and only gravel vacuum I've owned, but if it were to die tomorrow I'd probably buy another of the same.  I've had it about 4 months now and have used it probably 5 times.  It takes a few pumps of the bulb to get the flow started, but it always starts and the flow is relatively strong.  The flow control lever is very handy since while I'm vacuuming sand I don't want to actually pull the sand out of the tank, just disrupt it to get some of the algae on and in the sand to flow up the tube.  When I'm done vacuuming sand and want to just move water quickly, I slide the flow control over to fully open and the operation moves along plenty quickly.  There is a strainer at the top of the vacuum tubing right before the flow control that I assume keeps you from sucking fish out of the tank, but I'd kinda rather it not be there because when you suck up large pieces of algae it gets stuck in this strainer and typically falls back into the tank when you break the siphon.  You may be able to disassemble the pump and remove the strainer, but I haven't tried.  The reason I docked it a star is that the tubing quickly gets relatively inflexible.  My girlfriend and I always do water changes together, so having 4 hands makes the task simple, but I'd imagine if you were doing your water changes alone it may be difficult to get the tubing to hold the shape you want.  If you anticipate having help with your water changes then this is a non-issue.  The little red clip at the end of the tube may be helpful, but it's kind of flimsy.  I'm not sure I'd rely on it.  Over-all, a great vac for a great price!  I think you'll be pleased!

    This gravel vacuum is best I have found yet! Love it!
  

*by L***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018*

This gravel vacuum is the best I have found yet. I have a 50 gallon tank. I have been using a gravel vacuum for a 10 gallon for awhile, because I had a hard time finding a decent one with hand pump. I refuse to prime a vacuum by sucking on it. Ick, aquarium water in my mouth no thanks. I am so happy this one has a hand pump and a valve to slow or stop the flow of water, because this vacuum gets going fast. It is a nice feature to have when switching buckets, or when you have removed enough water from your tank. I am extremely happy with how fast I am able to vacuum my tank's gravel. This has made water changes a snap. My tank is looking super clean in way less effort. I highly recommend.
