Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $45.00 | Rating: 9

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	works, easy to remove hose
Cons:	none

$45 for a 50 foot siphon system, I'll take it. Use it all the time, comes with everything you need to mount it to a sink, and it does its job. It also has quick release tubing attachments, so you can remove the tubing from either end very easily, and reattach it just as easy.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Very easy to use and Works great!
Cons:	none

This is a great product! No more messy bucket carrying back and forth!
It hooks up easily to any sink (some may require an adapter). Love that it has shut off valves at either end. Vaccums gravel and refills aquarium with a turn of the valve. LOVE IT!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Works well; solid construction (most)
Cons:	Valve knobs seem flimsy

Got the 25 footer for $25 on amazon (qualifies for free shipping, too!). Makes water changes so much easier - have used mine about 5 times now. I read that the Aqueons are built a little more solid than competitors. However, not having anything to compare it to, I will say that for the most part the product is solid. The only part I'm worried about for long term use is the valve knobs. THey are sometimes hard to turn and the blue plastic seems a bit flimsy. Maybe the knobs will loosen up after time and it won't be much of a concern? I also wish the threading for the faucet attachment was metal and not plastic. I worry about accidentally cross threading the plastic threads and ruining it.

TO sum up, for the price it's hard to pass up. THe 25 footer is plenty long for my setup and it's nice not having to carry buckets of water back and forth. Do not may full retail, they can be found for a dollar a foot!

Goes to 11!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	It's not a bucket
Cons:	metal eventually wins over plastic

Love it, As mentioned they do wear a bit. I am on my second faucet connector but as long as you aren't all He-man with them they seem to hold up ok.

I will buy it again when it wears out.
