Started quietly in a month became loud

I really liked the product. I ended up buying 2 of these. They worked great and were very quiet in operation. About a month after I started using them, they both got noticeably noisy and I couldn't figure out why or how. I've been messing around with them in every way I can but haven't found a solution to the problem. That's the only problem I've had with them.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Weight

Great living room filter

The tank is installed in our living room, so the noise level of the hob doesn't bother us. With the TV and air purifier on, I can barely hear the filter. With everything turned off, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the loudest and most annoying noise, I'd say it's a 5. (If this were in my bedroom, I'd probably give it a 10.) Recommend This filter is for living/break rooms, not bedrooms.

Pros
  • Hands-free device
Cons
  • Uncertain

Watch out for surges

My first Aqueon lasted four years. My second one stopped working after we had a power outage so I bought a new one and plugged it into a surge protector. Two months later, the electricity flashed again - and he stopped working. The small fan rotates, but does not draw water. I'll try again just because I've had good luck with them in the past - and bought a bunch of filters to use with Aqueon. Just take a look. . . .

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Nothing here

This is my fourth AQUEON filter and it works great! I've been using Aqueon on my tank for 6 years with no problems. I'm not sure about the new feature on this filter that tells you when to change the filter media. Since I use Fit pads (I put 2 per cartridge) and rinse them out in used water from the tank, I don't throw the pads away until they fall apart (mostly after 6 months I just change one pad and let the other run with it doesn't mess up my cycle) The unit is quiet and I like that itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Very loud at first but then decreases

The noise from this filter is terrible. It makes a loud crunch that I can hear from every room in the house. I didn't notice a huge difference in suction power with the Aqueon QuietFlow 10 we replaced, which was much quieter (lasted about a year). I will throw out. The second star is for ease of installation. Update February 2021 This old review caught my attention when someone rated it useful. I wanted to update my review as this filter has faded after a few weeks of use. I don't know why, but

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Appearance

Broken motor not working

My current filter that I have been using for the last two years just died so I really needed this filter for my tank. Received this product in the mail today and upon arrival I opened it and read the instructions. I washed and prepped everything as per the instructions but when I set everything up and hooked it up nothing happened. I tried again, still nothing. Then I took the engine off the filter and inspected it's fine so I plugged it into the bathroom outlet and the engine didn't evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Doubtful

MUCH better than others

This filter block has outperformed all other filter blocks I have purchased and used on my aquarium. Other brands just didn't prevent the water from turning cloudy quickly with particles floating in it. This aqueon keeps the water clear longer than any other I've owned. Quiet and reliable, it's also designed not to pose a threat to fish. Some of the others I had actually pulled fish in the inlet and killed one of them. I got so annoyed about this and decided to buy a filter block that wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sample for one year
Cons
  • Available in white only
