LONDAFISH Electric Fish Tank Vacuum Cleaner Syphon Operated Gravel Water Filter Cleaner Sand Washer

does not work very good

This is junk. Pieces don't fit together tightly. You have to submerge almost the whole unit to prime pump and as soon as you pull it out to allow water to flow it loses prime and you start all over. When it is submerged it barely sucks anything up and the water it does draw through would take forever to drain or fill.

I do a weekly 20% water change/substrate cleaning on my 55 gallon corner tank. I have used several different aquarium cleaning pumps similar to this one for the last 10 years or so. This is my first time with the Londafish. I have used this for about 4 months now, and finally retiring it. On the plus side, it does work: the suction is adequate, the gravel cleaner picks up debris without catching a huge amount of sand substrate and the telescoping adjustability is handy. The AC adapter is a good feature, but I had not had a chance to use it. However, the pump literally fell apart several times on me, forcing me to glue several pieces together: the gravel cleaner head to the black pipe adapter, and the suction pipe to the rotor head. Also the screw in pump housing kept separating(and was getting progressively worse), but I can't glue it together, as it may need to cleaned occasionally. Having used other pump systems in the past, I have not had these issues. Although it has an AC adapter and was one of the lowest cost pumps at Amazon, I think I’ll be trying another brand/model next.

Took a risk on a brand new item with 0 reviews because it was affordable and... NOT DISAPPOINTED! 😍 I have a live-planted 60 gallon Cichlid/Semi-Aggressive fresh water tank no where near access to a water spigot for traditional water changes with those high priced gravel vacuums.. This little thing cleaned up all the fish crap from my gravel easily! Easy to assemble, filter bags are washable and reusable! I'm legit leaving this at 5 stars even though I have some very very small complaints that are more annoyances than anything: 1) the unit will come apart at the pipe attachments if you're too vigorous.. Which breaks suction and makes you have to reassemble it.. and get wet..eee. 😂 2) Filter bags get full FAST if you have a big tank! Be prepared to change them or clean them many times if you have a large tank or... goldfish lol. 3) The gravel cup at the end gets bigger rocks stuck in it constantly. Don't think the slats need to be that wide? If you need something inexpensive to get your gravel clean of poop in a tank in a crazy location.. this is awesome!! The pump is powerful, the power cord is long, and you can use the battery option if you want too! Love it!

The water pump isn't strong enough.

This "electric gravel cleaner" if that is what this company wants to call this piece of crap is not worth the stress to me or my fish. I bought this to replace the hand pump gravel cleaner because I have terrible rheumatoid arthritis in both hands thinking this would be easier, so mad at myself for not reading the reviews prior to purchase. Lesson learned! What everyone is saying is the truth, falls apart, stopped working a few times the item is also very cumbersome to put together in the first place. My poor fish are traumatized because of the hose falling off multiple times and almost hitting them that I will be lucky if they don't die from the stress! Save your $$$ and your 🐟🐠🐡 friends and keep looking!

Well I was so excited to receive this, thinking it was going to make my axolotl tank so much easier to clean but it didn’t. It was basically a waste of money and time. Now I need to go out of my way to return rbis stupid thing. It literally worked for two seconds and died. Sounded like it burnt out. So I let it sit a few minutes and then it works again for a few minutes then did it again. Burnt out. Very stupidly how it’s made. It says on the pole ( I attached pics ) tbat the water must be a min of here, but at the same time max here also .. at the very same spot is the mini yams maximum basically. WTF! How is tbat even possible. Uou have to basically how the filter part in the water fir it to work , but you can’t have the water go any further tbat that little line at the same time (the min/max line) so how are you supposed to be able to move around to clean. Because it also only seems to do anything if you tilt it sideways. If you have it straight up and down it does nothing and even then when it does it barely sucked up an old blood worm for that. Suction sucks. Wish I’d invested a few more bucks in a decent one tbat I wouldn’t have to waste my time money and gas now to go return this thing because A. It’s junk B. It is burnt out or died on me within two seconds (plugged in this is also. I didn’t use it battery opperated ). I’d love to send this seller a video of this dead cleaner showing how it does nothing at all when plugged in now and get a refund or at least the least a new one tbat works even though I don’t have high hopes for this thing period. Very very unhappy with this Amazon purchase and I never leave reviews ever

I have a small 5 gallon fish tank an didn't want to drain a lot of water out of it. This unit is perfect for being able to just filter the gravel bottom an remove debris from the bottom of tank and not loose any water I would recommend this product. You can always adjust the length of the tubes with the supplied equipment that comes with it for a deeper/ bigger tank.

Absolutely crapp. Worked for 10 minutes

It is great that when you suck up the stuff on the bottom, that it goes into that little bag that hangs on the side, you must maintain keeping this below water level. Once you figure out how to put it together, it is great. I went through two of these until I figured it out, as I destroyed the first one. It needs more instruction on how to put it together accurately.

Very poor suction power

This product did not work at all what a disappointment..expecially at the high price it was to purchace

This is really a very average product. So hard to get just the right height in the aquarium water level to actually work, supper frustrating. In the end i gave up using it and bought a FLUVAL that has worked perfectly from day 1.
