764 customers mention642 positive122 negative

Customers like the ease of cleaning the filter. They mention that it works awesome and keeps their 75 gallon tank clean. The motor is easy to get to and clean, and the filter keeps up with the mess and bio waste in the tank just fine.

2,384 customers mention1,434 positive950 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the filter. Some mention that it works pretty good, while others say that it stopped working great after about a month. The wheel of the filters didn't work, and it's a failed design.

"...The filter itself seems to be working great...." Read more

2,123 customers mention882 positive1,241 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the noise of the filter. Some say that there is barely any noise, while others say that it puts out noise comparable to a small car. However, some customers say that the water splashing sounds are nice and normal, while other customers say the noise will disappear completely.

"...a bit from the weight of the stuff growing on it, the trickle noise will disappear completely a the wheel will not be moving fast enough to fling..." Read more

"...long as you keep the tank filled, which you should anyway, it is not loud at all.. Just like any other filter, if it does get loud and your tank is..." Read more

"These are great filters for a fantastic price (using Amazon Prime)...." Read more

"...one for a smaller tank with glofish and dwarf gourami's, filters are affordable and it's just plain smart to use filters that use the same media..." Read more

"...All in all, it’s a waste of money. I’d avoid ever purchasing it." Read more

"...Otherwise, the set up was easy. Not bad for the price." Read more

1,100 customers mention541 positive559 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet supplies. Some mention that it's very well made, reliable, and affordable, while others say that the filters work okay but they tend to break after a few months. The impeller issue speaks to poor manufacturing, as the pumps are strong but last only 3 months before the noise in the motor.

"Overall these filters work okay but they tend to break after a few months (thus the option to buy them on a recurring basis!)...." Read more

"...I really like how sturdy it is built and that I can insert two filters back to back for more filtration if I like...." Read more

"...the impeller spins millions of revolutions over time and wears out the stainless steel rod...." Read more

"...They are reliable, affordable, and I have never had one stop working. I have never had a problem with the wheel not spinning...." Read more

778 customers mention359 positive419 negative

Customers are mixed about the clarity of the filter. Some mention that it had the water looking crystal clear in less than 24 hours, while others say that it sprayed water everywhere and would not suck any water up the intake pipe.

"...not happened in the 9-months I have had my cannister filter, my tank is not as clear. And cleaning the cannister filter is messy and heavy...." Read more

"...The bio wheel does wonders. Between this and my sponge filter, my water stays clear...." Read more

539 customers mention56 positive483 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the rotation of the pet supplies. They mention that the bio-wheels stop turning and they have to maneuver some of the contents. Some customers also say that the wheel barely turns when it decides to to begin with. It is not balanced and it does not rotate.

"...When first running, the wheel spins fairly fast and can create a trickle sound...." Read more

"...Also Note the Biowheel is basically useless, it does NOT turn...." Read more

"...I wasn't able to fill my tank fully because there was little to no surface agitation...." Read more

"...Bio wheel sticking - Just lift the cover off. No need to unplug. Lift the sticking wheel outuse a Q-tip to clean the slots where the wheel rests...." Read more

Motor is quiet
4 Stars
Motor is quiet
I have this filter for my 10 gallon tank. I bought this to replace a very noisy filter we had before. I like that you can’t hear the motor however I am not a bit fan of the running water sound. At night you can hear it in the other rooms. It’s pretty loud. But happy it’s not the motor. No humming sound which is also a plus. Pressure is a little strong but not to bad.
Thank you for your feedback
