AQQAManual Aquarium Vacuum Gravel Cleaner Siphon Water Changer Fish Tank Cleaning Kit for Gravel Sand Washing Dirt Removal Siphon Vacuum Cleaner with Adjustable Waterflow

The instructions didn’t state that we need to cut the tube, but we do. Other than that, this siphon works great.

We bought this product for my 15 gallon tall fish tank. It worked pretty well at getting the water out. I still have some debris in the tank, but I will just use it again and see if that works. The attachments fit together nicely. You also have to cut a bit of the hose off to attach to the middle of it, just so you are aware. It took a little bit for us to get it started. You had to have it at the right angle, but after we did it worked just fine. The flow switch worked really well. As soon as the bucket was almost full we would flip the switch and the flow would stop. The switch was the main reason I bought the particular vacuum.

Horrendous. Bulb siphon requires gorilla strength, first off; even if your product works (mine did not) it won’t be a good fit for anyone who (1) has small hands & (2) doesn’t weight-lift on the reg. Requires crazy wrist strength. More importantly, it does not work after 5 pumps, as the product info implies; it indeed does not work after 50 pumps!! Failed to get a single drop of water out of any of my aquariums, and I have three, all different heights. I installed everything correctly. Again, the one YOU receive might work… but I doubt it. Give this a pass and just buy a giant turkey baster instead.

Very hard to get the water going and then it takes forever.

The media could not be loaded.  Easy to assemble. Squeeze the siphon pump bulb 15-20 times and the water starts flowing. I used this to siphon melted ice out of a cooler chest that would have been too heavy to lift out of a car. Very handy.

It works well for emptying the tank of water. But I bought it for sucking up the debris at the bottom and it didn’t work as well as I would have liked. It was a little tricky to get going, the hand pump didn’t always pump enough to pull out the water or debris. Also you have to cut the tube, which wasn’t specified in the instructions.

I've used this a few times to clean my little 3 gallon betta tank. It's great for that because it doesn't have a giant barrel to siphon out half the tank just to prime, and it's small enough to maneuver around and get into the gravel without destroying the whole tank set up. It's quick and easy to prime with the hand pump and does makes tank cleaning a lot easier. I love it.

I have had other manual cleaners before and this one is very nice. Its comfortable and easy to use. Really able to clean up the bottom of that tank and suck up that gross stuff on the bed of your aquarium. This works well and I would recommend this for any one needing to keep an aquarium clean.

Pros- works great for my 30 gl planted tank- very easy to set up- great quality, can use for long time- great for water change and cleaning my substrate

Seeing some of the other reviews it seems people have issues with a check-valve. Easy to avoid if you pay attention when assembling it.Assembly is simple enough. If you are experienced in aquaria then you definitely have the skills to get the job done in a few minutes.It works as expected. The suction is ideal for my sand bottom tank. Gravel struggles a bit, but it is made up of relatively large pebbles.For the price this is a great syphon. If it was priced like some of the major brands I would say to avoid this one, but given it is relatively cheap I dont think you can go wrong with this one.
