Nick Cheng: I bought this one cos I am BAD at dimensions, the product works very well itself, but if you are like me have a 6 gal tank or less than 10 gal tank, specially if your tank is not wide open on the top, you might wanna look for a smaller one, the suction power is awesome, I could easily get all the wast off, but the problem is it is rather too big for my 6 gal tank, when water start flowing I have top 3 min to finish cleaning otherwise my tank would be dry, and I end up changing to much of the water out. Which as you know is not good for the beneficial bacteria in the tank. This is a product I will keep for my bigger tank in the future, but PLEASE double check your tank size and tool size before you purchase.

Brycen Brettell: It did the job for me for about two years. During that time, it worked well and was easy to use. Giving four stars only because it didn't last longer than that. The pumping mechanism got weaker, recently, to the point that it no longer has enough force to pull water out of the aquarium at a consistent rate.

I bought this for daily waste removal from the bottom of an aquatic turtle tank, and it works really well for that purpose. Our tank is too big to use this for full water exchanges in a timely manner (we use an electric submersible pump for that), but this is perfect for quickly removing solid waste and a little dirty water to a waste bucket.
I first tried a manual syphon (from another brand) and it worked well to remove waste, but the bulb pump took a lot of effort to start. I then tried an electric vacuum (from the same brand as this) that filters and returns the water to the tank, and it was less trouble to start but the filtration wasn't great. This was a good middle ground. It takes a few trigger pulls to start the suction since the tank is fairly deep, but it's much easier than the bulb and doesn't require electricity, and it extracts waste cleanly.
The clip that attaches to the waste bucket isn't wonderful and occasionally pops free, so I have to keep an eye on that, but otherwise, this has been one of the handier cleaning tools I've bought for tank maintenance.

Erika Warner: After less than 5 uses, it's pretty difficult to pull a vacuum with this. Water runs through the handle just fine, the "filter" screen is clean... but it's basically unusable. It was great while it worked, though.

JCH:
I've purchased two of these in total, about a month apart. The first one worked great the first time I used it. The second one worked great the first time I used it as well. Today I tried to use the newest one (the second one) again, because it's a new tank and I'm doing multiple water changes as my fish are new too and are getting quarantine meds. But it won't work. It just doesn't suck up water. The trigger gun suction is the whole beauty of this item and it doesn't work after just one use. I'm returning it. But I still need to do a water change so I went and grabbed the first one (the older one) and tried to use that one, and same exact deal. Zero suction. That trigger gun just has no ooomph now. You can feel the difference when you're pulling the trigger. It's crazy that it just stopped working after one time for both of them! They could not have worked more perfectly the first time I used each of them.
So to recap, I have two of these that only worked one time each. One is outside the 30-day return period by about 8 days and one is inside of it and is being returned. I will contact Hygger about the one that's outside of the return...

Terrible! Don’t waste your money. The product never worked. Connection between the siphon and the tube (outlet connection) leaked everywhere! Suction never occurred. Water would fill the outlet hose, Paul was positioned below recommended and still barely any water flowed out of the tank and into the pail.
Would have returned the product, but I’m passed the deadline of 30 days to return it

TIm: It worked twice before dying. When it did work, it was pretty good but clearly there are manufacturing issues within the gun itself. Don't bother getting this - much better options out there.

Once you get to know how to use, it is good. A bit hard on hand.
You should not handle it rough. Satisfied with the product.
