I bought this hoping the pump would make things easier. Nope. The pump leaks at connections. I tried re-trimming, to no avail. Had to duct tape it. It's hard to get decent suction, and when you do, the filter catches fairly well, but clogs up easily. So, I mean, if you're willing to put in the extra labor, I suppose it looks and works like the others I've been looking at to replace it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

i bought this in store, because i wanted something with a narrow vacuum. it worked the first time i used it, and i was pleased i could fit it into tighter spots in the tank. however, now i can't get the suction to work at all., i tried trimming the tubing all around for a tight fit, and still nothing. what a waste of $15. no longer have the receipt or the package since it worked a week ago... very frustrating.

Horrible and a complete waste of money. The pump is very poorly made - I can't even get water to flow through it adequately enough to start a stream.

If I can give no stars I would.. this is a waste of time and does not work! For all the reviews saying it works good, they are liars. The pump doesn’t work, the suction is falsely advertised! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

I use a chair to put a 5 gallon bucket on to siphon water or reverse to add water…..It doesn’t leak but I still put a old towel on the floor in front of the fish tank….It works like a charm…

bought 55gal vac used it 2x, 3rd time won't siphon water to start, sounds like air leaking from somewhere, completely taken apart, reassembled, it won't work. I've thrown the packaging out already. Want to return tho, unless there is a secret I'm missing?

This has happened to me before. My problem was I had the squeeze handle part on the wrong way. Once turned it started working again. I did have issues with the bigger vacuum though which I believe may be the one you have. I went with the smaller vacuum and have had it for years with no problem.

The hole in the top of the siphon tube suddenly shut and I can't see how to open. When new, today, the hole was in the shape of a half circle. What do I do to open it up again?
