Quality


Love the canister filters keeps 75 gal tank very clean without having to clean it every few days


This product is silent any initial noise is air and you just rock it easy to setup and clean


While servicing it last week i accidentally broke off the tabs that hold secure the hose assembly to the canister


Within the past few months it has started leaking through the clasps

Price


This product is fabulous for price and ability


This is an amazing filter very please and for the price you cant beat it


I paid 41 and see theyre going for 60 or more now in some places


This is my 3rd sunsun filter and you cant buy a better filter at twice the price

Packaging/appearance


Pretty quiet only issue was the directions in the box were for another model and had a bit of trouble getting it set up

Competitiveness


Like its bigger brothers it has a builtin siphon pump to aid in the startup


I believe it is likely a knock off of a betterknown lowtomid range brand and the same thing is sold under different names including sunsun


This is a generic filter and the same model is sold under different brand names


This filter has a higher flow rate at a much lower price than the other brand
