Pros & Cons
Pros
This one is a little more pricey than others, but it's well worth it. Aquaclears have always been the absolute best hob filters in the market. This is 10x better than a cheap option like top fin, aqueon, or tetra.

Cons
This filter does a good job when it's working. Must be a a defective unit. I’m very frustrated as i am constantly ordering new parts or learning how to maintenance this filter when it’s barely a few weeks old.
Highlights
Quality
Highly effective efficient and easy to clean
Waterfall sound is pleasant and the adjustable flow works well
Had one that lasted 8 years until motor seized
It was a pain in the but and would only work good for one day then get clogged again
Price
Keeps the tank clean for a decent price
You really cant beat it for the price
I cannot believe how small of a price i had to pay for it
The upkeep can vary and may be pricey to some but for the clarity and quality it is so worth it
Packaging/appearance
Mine came in an aquaclear box with no mention of fluval
The parts are packaged inside the filter so be careful because there are some that can get lost when getting everything unpacked
Competitiveness
The filtration power is much stronger than that of comparable filters of the same size
Easy to maintain compared to other aquarium filters i have owned keeps water crystal clear
I switched out the carbon and bio media for filter floss and sechum matrix
I bought another brand from walmart that wasnt cheap
