Not excited about this

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.
No, I do not recommend this product.

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.
No, I do not recommend this product.

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.

Easy to use!

Simple to use, took a few pumps of the bulb to get the suction going, but once it started it was perfect for cleaning my 8 gallon tank. Fully reading instructions helped quite a bit. A bucket with a lip certainly helps keep the clip from popping off.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Poor design

Just purchased today because I needed a longer tube so I went with the XXL since my tank is 24" deep. The bulb works great in getting the siphon started but the suction is poor. It was able to pull the waste from the bottom up to the top of the tube. I removed the bulb and then it started to work great. The flapper seals inside the bulb do not open enough to allow an adequate flow through them.So if your having the same problem, start the flow with the bulb and then remove it and try not to make a mess.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This aquarium vacuum sucks! It hardly sucks the dirt from the gravel. Took forever to clean my aquarium with it, and the gravel still looks very dirty! What a waste of money.

How long is the tube , not the line I need at least 30inch tube . My tank is 36 inches high

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?
