Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

this is a great product. but there is one problem. when changing the length of it so it works for the tank when you start digging in the pebbles it starts to go smaller. i solved this by putting sellotape round it when the postion was right.

would reccomend to a friend anyday.

Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

Providing you got an air pump you're ready to go, simple to use and
picks up an amazing amount of organic waste. I chose the small version to get in the nooks and crannies and the tank was spotless in 2 mins.

If the telescopic tube is on the slack side, given it works at any height simply fix its height with a drop of silicone. The sock could easily be tethered with an elastic band when the original slackens after time.

Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

Been looking for an effective gravel cleaner without the hassle of removing water. Saw this in store and decided to try it. As a whole it is very effective providing you have an air pump to use and sufficient airline. Was able to get into areas of the tank that i found hard to clean before. It is quite surprising how much debris an air operated device picks up. However, the design is flawed the extendable hose just goes back in itself once you even lightly press it against the gravel. Although the instructions say make sure the top is outside of water level it can still be used under water level and is just as effective and found no problems. Overall the product is great and does what you need it to do without a problem. I would definitely recommend it as a cheaper alternative providing you have an air pump to use

Poor

By Just Keep Swimming

from Fareham on 7/4/2011

Cons:

Ineffective

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

The construction is really quite flimsy so when trying to get in between the gravel to really give it a good clean, one pipe disappears into the other, cutting the length of the thing in half! Plus, the bags get heavy and fall off really easily; the elastic goes, causing it to pop off all of the time so all the filth you just sucked up goes back into the tank, so you have to buy new bags all the time. It's probably the cheapest one for a reason - I'm looking at the more expensive, hopefully more sensible, durable options now.

Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

After reading the review on this product, I couldn't wait to try it out for myself but when I received it I was less than impressed. What the description of the item doesn't tell you is that you need an air pump, which I obviously didn't expect when I received my purchase; also the box clearly states that the vacuum is compatible with all air pumps so when I attempted to use the vacuum, nothing happened!
Personally I think this item is a complete waste of money and I will be sure to spend that little big extra next time and get a decent vacuum for my fish tank. I also found the vacuum to be very flimsy and poorly built and the bag where the dirt and debris is supposed to go is basically a baby sock. I just really hope that P@H will let me return this item.

Comments about Aquarium Power Cleaner by Algarde:

I tried using other gravel cleaners, but my tank always lost too much water and the dirt stayed floating in the tank. I then bought this product and i was amazed! The dirt was easily taken out the aquarium and into the lil bag, letting the water run back into the tank, and no gravel got sucked out either. When I finished and washed the bag out, I was suprised how much dirt there was, showing it worked amazingly. I finished it up with a water change by jug, and the tank looks amazing. I would highly recommend this item to anyone.
