About Aqueon Aquarium Siphon Vacuum Aquarium Gravel Cleaner Medium 9 Inches
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
72% appreciated its long-lasting construction, but 28% experienced premature wear.
If you have a sand bottom tank or smaller gravel, don't buy this product as it may not be durable.
I am dissatisfied with the durability of the product, particularly the poorly designed screw-on seal setup of the siphon bulb. The threads for the barb connections are too slight, which can cause problems with the siphon bulb not functioning correctly.
The tube provided with the product is not flexible enough.
79% praised for its ease of cleaning
Not having a hand pump is an advantage as it means one less thing to break.
73% found it easy to operate and maneuver, while 27% had difficulty navigating tight spaces.
Maintaining a healthy aquarium is wonderfully simple and easy to do with this tool.
It's not as easy to use as it seems in the videos, but it gets the job done. Best used without decorations or plants.
I found that the product was not good at sweeping gravel or sand even when it was new.
69% liked its safety features, such as automatic shut-off
I appreciate the safety feature of the aquarium gravel cleaner, which ensures that the tank inhabitants are not accidentally sucked up. The tube is designed to remove water and detritus from the substrate and not from the open water column.
77% liked the compact storage design
This tool can be used for both a 20 and 8 gallon aquarium, indicating its ease of storage and use for different sized aquariums.
