hygger 360GPH Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaner, 5 in 1 Automatic Fish Tank Cleaning Tool Set Vacuum Water Changer Sand Washer Filter Siphon Adjustable Length 15W

I love this for cleaning my aquarium!! It is so much easier than trying to clean sand with a normal siphon! The quality is so good that I can’t believe it’s only $30!

Flat out does not work right out of the box. Got it to work one time after multiple tries.1. Vacuum attachment with sponge is put together so you cannot possible clean the sponge.2. Intermittently does not work out of the box. First time I turned it on I could hear the motor but nothing was coming out. Had to turn it off and on several times.3. Connections leak. I had to put teflon tape on the connection but then it still leaks when the tubing connects to the wand.4. Big and bulky and hard to maneuver around the rocks.5. The power switch is down near the plug???? Why just why? You literally have to put an extension cord on it and tie wrap the switch closer to the wand to have to close enough to turn off and on.6. This is the scary part. I think it is an AC pump??? Hopefully it shorts out but it is not a DC pump.I will try it for a few more days but not particularly happy with it. I had higher expectations from Hygger. I usually like their stuff but this is just not that good of a design.

I love this vac. After reading some reviews and seeing some about how parts don’t fit, I don’t think they used the adapter that goes on after the main vac portion first or something. Everything works and fits perfectly on mine! There’s a ton of attachments for multiple uses. It’s pretty powerful.I have a 36 gal bow front Neo shrimp tank and a 55gal turtle tank.The only room for improvement I’ve noticed is that it would be better if there was some kind of power level control.-In my shrimp tank, I have fluval stratum substrate, which I don’t recommend vacuuming 🤣 I keep it about an inch or two away and it’s powerful enough to not suck it up but any dead roots/waste off the top layer. If I use the vacuum and the recycle water feature, (not doing a water change) the water coming back into the tank comes back pretty hard and clouds everything up. Doing water changes to/from my 5gal bucket is a game changer though! Again, a little too powerful for shooting water back into the tank. So what I did is attached the recycle water outlet to the black refill hose, with the filters still inside. I don’t think they intended it for this, but it really helps soften the blow and not disturb my substrate! See picture.For my turtle tank. I have larger rocks, easy to clean. Again, the recycling vacuum is a little overpowering and clouds up the tank though. Just like my other tank, being as tall as it is, I would think I wouldn’t have much of an issue. I did shorten it a little to get it closer to the water top, but didn’t help much.The filters also can get clogged with turtle sludge pretty quick. While it creates a few extra steps in cleaning out those parts, still does a great job and faster than my syphon hose vac. Refilling is also a breeze. I don’t use my softening method as the bottom has 2in River rock and doesn’t fall apart like stratum4/5 stars mainly because the lack of power control. I don’t think it’s that good for the recycle vac option, but for the price and functionality of its other features it’s great! I love mine and all my other hygger products. Best bang for your buck!

Works as it should, super convenient to use.

Okay, I was really excited about getting this tank vacuum and had huge hopes for it. While I think hygger had their heart in the right place I don’t feel like this was made by people who actually clean their tanks. Firstly, it’s a mess to put together and change out parts to use it for a pump to a vacuum. This could have been simplified with two ball valves so that you don’t have to take the whole thing apart in order to use it in different ways. The hose needs a weight because it doesn’t want to stay in the bucket. The pump is good and strong which is nice and has no problems moving the water. However the size makes it difficult to maneuver in a smaller tank or move between rocks. This could have been simplified by making it possible to have a second hose on the intake and wand with attachment or in the least a stem with the vacuum attachment at the end. I think I will probably modify mine with some extra hoses. They give you a lot of different attachments, most of which I think are pretty useless and could have been left out or sold separately in favor of the ball valves. The instructions are also a bit confusing. All in all I applaud hygger for their effort but I think they need to get some input from people who are in the hobby. I’m sure with a few tweaks this product can become a useful valuable tool. Until the. I’ll use it as a pump to take water from the bucket to the tank.

This is super easy to use. For the beginner hobbyist, I highly recommend this cleaner.
