It stopped working after about 10 minutes. The motor would not turn on at all. I think the concept is really great - if only the thing worked! I had it too long in the box before use to return. I do not recommend this product.

Nettoie bien le sable fin. En quelques minutes, mon changement d’eau est fait. Le seul bémol est que le tuyau noir fourni n’est pas étanche et il se brise facilement.

This pump works great for my 20 gallon tank, I'm able to do water changes in about half the time it normally takes me. I did seem to get a faulty pump first, as it stopped working after 2 months of using it once a week. I contacted the seller and they assisted me right away and sent me a new one. I received the new pump within 2 days of contacting and showing them that the pump did not work. This will be a game changer for my 65 gallon tank when I set it up and I highly recommend it!

Cut cleaning time for my 25 gallon tank to half an hour. The Hygger vacuum comes with several attachments, but for my purposes (I have Fluval stratum as gravel) just two, the brush and the clear cylinder work fine. I can easily see the debris being removed because the water flowing back into the tank is not clouding the water.
When the water flow slows, just clean out the sponges and continue. Cleaning the sponges is quick. I had to clean the sponges two more times which isn't much effort. I could see from the sponge cleaning how much debris was taken out, leaving the tank very clean.

This works so easily and much faster to pump the water out or in! I had a hand pump and this cut my time 98%. Love this!!

Real reviews you can trust:
Used 3 times so far, got blocked twice. Had to disassemble the pump piece by piece. But I could not find what caused the pump fail to spin. Reassembled the pieces and it worked again. The build quality is poor and flimsy with thin plastics. Cannot compare with the quality Eheim, fluval, SICCE etc. Noise level is good.
The pump is also bulky, not suitable for 20 gallon tanks and less. When in use, you have to pay much attention not let it suck some dirt or plants debris otherwise it easily fails.
Overall, the pump is weak, it can not suck water of the tank on the ground to the height of kitchen sink. It also uses 110v directly, unlike some others using 12 v or 24 v DC. Not recommend it at all.

Overly strong suction. Good as a water pump but too strong to clean gravel. It pulls up too much at a time and blocks the input. I will put it to another use. As an exchange of water from bucket to aquarium or as a water blower to blow out the gravel so that the filters can scrub the cloudy water.

It can be a bit challenging to get the unit to begin suction. You have to sort of finesse the angle of your dispensing tube in conjunction with your sink to get the suction activated. Once it is pumping however, it works somewhat well for sand/gravel cleaning. The motor is significantly less powerful than i anticipated and does not do well in suctioning larger debris such as decomposing vegetation. If you’re trying to get deep into thick substrate, it struggles a bit as well maintaining suction power. The kit itself comes with a nice multitude of attachments which allow access to hard to reach places/the ability to clean varying types of granular substrates which is something unique to other models I’ve owned. The handle comes with extensions, which allows you to customize the length of it if you have a deeper tank. The cord is relatively short, so you will need an open outlet that is close - within 4 feet of the tank itself, or an extension cord. The largest perk of this style cleaner is it’s environmental impact. Sure you use a little electricity, but when comparing its use to conventional sink/vacuum style gravel cleaners, you save a considerable amount...

This thing works great. Great flow and functional attachments (except the brush). It is a bit bulky in the tank, but I was expecting that.
I pulled the brush head from the attachment connector and replaced it with 5/8 inner diameter vinyl tubing so I could get around my plants and rocks. The other attachments connect right into the tubing if I need them. This helped to get around the bulky motor issue in my planted tank, just make sure the motor is submerged.
Just used it for my water change in my 55 and it went really fast and efficient (all things considered). Used 2 buckets so I could alternate dumping them and filling. Came back during the filling part and found the hose fell out of the tank and was doing a spectacular job of watering the carpet. Thought I had it restrained with the glass lid, but nope, totally my fault (stupidity). Promptly turned off the pump and in a panic raced to go get some towels to dry the floor. When I returned I found the bucket that I was suctioning FROM was about to over flow. When I turned off the pump, the flow changed direction and starting filling the bucket from the tank (again, my fault/stupidity). My mistakes aside,...
