There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The not-so-great: Priming this filter is inconvenient - have to take the heater off, pour water into the little hole until it's somewhere *near* the top, but you can't fill it too much, because then when you put the heater back in, water will spill everywhere. The spraybar and intake are not pretty to look at, which brings the overall package down a notch in my view. Why build a filter to get an ugly piece of equipment out of the tank, then include a butt-ugly intake and spray bar? Something more elegant would be much more ideal. Not sure how I like the bio-media tray surrounding the heater. The space there is limited, and if you have previously colonized, larger bio media, not much of it will fit in the space there. You really have to use Oase's small bio media due to the limited size of that chamber if you want to use the middle chamber for other media types (like floss, Chemipure packets, etc).
These niggles aside, this product is very well made and inspires confidence in this brand. So much so, in fact, that I just bought their little nano surface skimmer.
Unlike the Biomasters, it does not have self-prime feature. However, I find you can “unlock” twist the hose connector and that will prevent water from leaving the hoses and filter while doing water change. Refill tank, “lock” hoses, and filter is primed and ready.
I have deep cleaned the impeller once as flow was slightly lower after 9 months. Easy to do and working well.

First of lets talk about the filter. So far, so good. It was easy to set up, and so far its working perfect. Nice and quiet. I've always used Fluval filters but I heard good things about this filter and decided to try something new.. So far I'm happy with it but we'll see how it holds up over time.
Now the reason I give this a one star.
The second the filter arrive I was disappointed. The box was all damage and looked like it had been taped back together. The filter was dirty on the outside and a bit scratched. I automatically assumed this filter was used and not brand new. Tubing was clean and the parts inside were sealed. Once I started to set it up I realized parts were missing. Parts for the Inflow and Outflow were missing, looks like a whole bag Lucky for me I was planning to use my glass pipes for the inflow and outflow so I was still able to use the filter with no problem. if I didn't have the glass pipes the filter would have been useless.
Unfortunately I wasn't very patient and bought everything I needed at once, Filter, substrate, and plants and really couldn't return it and wait for a refund to get a new filter. I'm disappointed that I paid full price and got a used filter with missing parts. Luckily I was still able to use it. If the filter continues to work for a good couple of years I guess it would still be worth it.
If you decide to get this filter, open it and make sure its new and that everything is there. If you get a complete filter, I think you will be very happy with it.
I also don't like the method of attachment with the suction cups. I would have preferred clamps.
Overall, the water is clear and it's very quiet, but the heater isn't amazing because I suspect flow around it isn't perfect. The flow is good given the size.

Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2021
not enough tubing to run under cabinet, needed to go out and buy more
included tubing very stiff, awkward to position inlet and outlet as the tubing keeps trying to curl back up even after tubing had been heated by emersion in hot water and using a hair drier.
I can't get the heater to actually heat the water. Not sure if it is faulty or just not powerful enough, either way I have to go buy a different one. Note that the heater is an add on, you can buy the canister filter with or without a heater you get the exact same canister filter, you are just paying more to have them throw a heater in the box.
