Phil Wright: As this product cost over £40, and is labelled 'Special Edition', I was expecting something much better than what I have received.
There are similar filters available in the UK for 75% less in my opinion. And with the correct UK Voltage.
It is hard to understand why this item is listed as 4.5 stars out of 1097 reviews.
And the Amazon description states it is "one of the most popular" on the market!
Maybe rated in countries where the cost is very, very cheap.
My fault for not spotting the 110v, I keep doing this. It would be nice to see the voltage on Amazon UK products better displayed, maybe a reminder at checkout.

Amazon Customer: UPDATE 2022 - I have now purchased 4 of these in 2 years - meaning, the others died... Mostly just would not restart after unplugging for maintenance. I'm bringing this down from 4 stars to 3 stars. The big issue I've had with the last 3 is that they leak/overflow from the intake side back into the tank. :( I can't seem to do anything with water level in canister or filter material to change this besides leaving filter cover 1/2 way popped up on that side... Kinda ridiculous. It's obviously not healthy for the tank to have to worry about the bad water leaking back into it! The last few even had obvious leaks where the intake valve connects to the unit in addition to the overflow issue. The flow has been inconsistent between models, and the little control knob does not doing much to lower it - the 1st two I had were lower flow than last 2. I've had to add baffles to all to help lower the flow, which can be a real process... sometimes the black sponge w/unit works out ok, other times it doesn't, and I have to cut up & rigg other sponges just right and have the canister lid keep them in place, which is annoying because they can easily fall back into the tank if lid is moved...

Carlos: Muy buen producto es un filtro de cascada, lo compre para un gambario de 3gal y quedo perfecto trae una esponja para que no se metan en el ducto de succión de agua, perfecto para lo que lo quería, tiene espacio suficiente para la filtración biológica que pues no requiere mucho ya que es para un acuario muy pequeño.
Valió la pena tiene buena potencia modulable, bien por ello.

C.K. LeeC.K. Lee: I bought this filter for my betta tank and couldn't be more pleased - would be hard pressed to find a better filter for my 8G nano tank for this price ($20.81 CDN). The filters media that was included were... not spectacular, but I have plenty kicking around from my time in the hobby so it wasn't a big issue for me. There's also plenty of space so you can hack your own mix of media to your liking - check YouTube for ideas, this filter is a popular choice for that reason. The nice bonus is that it comes with a pre-filter so you don't suck up food or fry - it also adds that much more filtration.
Pleased with the good range of variable flow, which you control with a knob - I was able to reduce it to a very gentle outflow which was very important to me. My copy is also very quiet. Really Really Quiet!
I'm super pleased with this product!

Client d'Amazon: J'ai acheté ce filtre pour mon aquarium de 5 gallons, le point positif est qu'il est de petite taille et il paraît bien.
On peux aussi ajuster la puissance de filtration facilement.
Toutefois, mon aquarium est dans ma chambre à coucher et le niveau de bruit est inattendu. Je croyais qu'il serais silencieux mais ce n'est pas le cas. Il fait moins de bruit lorsque je retire le couvercle du filtre mais le bruit est quand même dérangeant.
Je recommande malgré tout le produit car il est très efficace, mais il n'est pas assez silencieux comme je l'aurais voulu.

truckfan: Product: AZOO Aquarium Mignon Filter 60
For the price, and given increasingly bad experiences with online orders, I expected a total piece of junk that, if I was lucky, would last just long enough to find something better. Instead, I found this to be a nicely designed and well-made product with a reasonably quiet motor, a built-in flow control valve, and even a foam prefilter which is rare in low-end and middle-market hang-on-back filters (and, I might add, ridiculously expensive for a two-cent piece of foam when you buy them separately).
I did find that most of the media chamber is taken up by the filter foam but that's an easy fix. Since I prefer a finer foam anyway (more surface area = more habitat for nitrifying bacteria), I took both pieces of foam out and cut a piece of my own to match the front-to-back dimensions of the media chamber. I then placed this up against the partition between the intake chamber and the media chamber. This keeps the biomedia from spilling out into the intake chamber and leaves plenty of room for biomedia, charcoal, or whatever.
A rather ridiculous flaw is in the partition between the intake and media chambers. For one thing,...
