“Cleaning” pad made of Velcro?

I like the concept but might clean better if the cleaning pad was an actual pad or cloth material . It is a Velcro material which does not clean as good as I hoped.

Pros
  • Saves time and energy
Cons
  • May not be suitable for smaller tanks

Great scrubber, missing razor blades

This glass scrubber works really well, just takes a few passes.Unfortunately, I never recieved the razor blades or the attachment for them. I'm pretty bummed, but dont need that feature in the tank it's in now so I'm gonna just be happy with it. Was thinking about buying another one, but not if they dont come with the attachment.

Pros
  • The floating design helps to prevent the cleaner from getting lost
Cons
  • Not suitable for cleaning tanks with rough surfaces

Cleans pretty decent, magnet is weak/underpowered

It cleans pretty well with the plastic blade and without a blade but either way the magnets could be a little stronger. Keeps popping off if you move or turn it too quickly. Only using on 1/8" glass so it shouldn't be an issue. The metal blade is not a sharp blade like a razor blade. It's pretty dull but I think it would get the job done IF it actually sat flat on the glass. When I put the metal blade on it pushed the cleaner so far off the glass that the magnet doesnt even hold it, it just…

Pros
  • No need to remove your fish while cleaning
Cons
  • May require a bit of strength to use effectively

Works well, loach approved

Got the stuck-on algae off. The plastic scraper worked surprisingly well. I don't think my loach is using it right, though.

Pros
  • Well worth buying. Works good, cleans the tank
Cons
  • May lose magnetic strength over time

Best algae remover ever!

Pleasantly surprised with this product. Honestly the reviews sold me, and I am so glad they did. I have NEVER had such an easy & fast time cleaning my tank. Not having to get my arm soaked is wonderful.The magnets are super strong, simple to use, very efficient in cleaning algae off the sides of glass, fast, and just amazing.I am so happy with this purchase. I added a video of myself (and little nephew) cleaning the back side of my tank that is covered in algae. I had cleaned the front glass…

Pros
  • Reduces the risk of injury to your fish while cleaning
Cons
  • Magnet may not remain fully secured over time

Glue Residue All Over My Aquarium

Cheaply made - the friction pad fell apart on me while I was trying to clean my fish tank, and it left adhesive/glue residue all over the front of my aquarium.Now, I just have more to clean.I am going to try it again, though, with a paper towel between the aquarium glass and handle next time.

Pros
  • Compatible with a variety of cleaning pads, making it versatile
Cons
  • Could potentially scratch wooden tank stands

felt started pulling up from the ends

The felt started peeling up from the corners and leaving adhesive on the glass and catching. nothing i cant fix but it is still annoying.

Pros
  • Allows you to clean hard-to-reach areas with ease
Cons
  • May accidentally remove small fish or snails from tank

Perfect. almost! best in my review

Works very well. Just wish there were 2 slots on the cleaner to keep the 2 blades that were supplied. There was only 1 slot and I know I'll be losing the other blade soon.

Pros
  • Fish & Aquatic Pets
Cons
  • Not particularly durable

large sized magnetic scraper, does a great job

took a couple of tries to get the scraper to "click" in place, but once firmly set in, this thing is a great scraper. Performance outlives the MAg-Safe brand for sure. Likely need to order a couple of replacement blades, this thing will last a while.

Pros
  • All around good product, reasonable price
Cons
  • Can be difficult to keep clean after use

Easy to use in my review

Such a good product, wish we got it as soon as we got our fish tank! You can literally watch it clean and tank instantly looks more clear. Definitely worth the buy!

Pros
  • Completely amazed at how effective and easy this product was to use!
Cons
  • Not effective for removing hard water stains

Magnetic power not quite as strong, scrubbing.

Magnetic power not quite as strong as I would like. The scrubbing is not working when the blade is installed because the blade sticks out too far causing the scrub pad not to contact with the glass. I think that it's as designed. The scrub pad works moderately as other scrubbers when the blade is removed. I like the floating scrubber so I don't have to fish it out from the bottom of the tank when it comes loose.

Pros
  • The magnetic design allows for easy storage
Cons
  • Not recommended for cleaning tanks with delicate or sensitive fish

Barely works good for me

The glass in my tank needs to be cleaned once a week. While this tool does the job it takes multiple passes to sometimes get everything. It works as good as the old dulled out scrubber I got from petsmart years back. I wouldn't recommend this for your tank

Pros
  • Was impressed by it. Works really well
Cons
  • Can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces

Best Aquarium Investment Ever

This algae scraper works wonders! The magnets on this thing are almost too strong for me, which is perfect for when the two pieces disconnect from the tank wall. The inner half floats, so I can guide it to where I want them to reconnect AND I can remove it from the tank easily instead of having to dive for a sunken piece. My tank was COATED in algae, so getting through the tough spots took some arm strength and elbow grease, but that was expected and I couldn't have done nearly as good of a job

Pros
  • Doesn't scratch the aquarium glass
Cons
  • Not recommended for cleaning tanks with live plants

Great Value best in my review

Haven't used the scrapers but the magnet cleaner works great. It floats when disconnected so it's easy to recover. Super good price compared to PetSmart/Petco for a similar product

Pros
  • Love this item!!! Makes cleaning my fish tank so much easier!!!
Cons
  • May scratch glass if used improperly

Perfect for my 6 gallon tank

I got the small size and it’s perfect for my 6 gallon tank. I have a sucker fish but he refuses to clean the glass and this makes it easy for me to do. The magnet is strong enough that I can move it around the corner without taking it out or it falling off. The attachable scrapers work well!

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • May not be suitable for deeper tanks

Works well: my feedback

The combination of the glass scrubbing surface and the metal scraper work well to remove algae from the glass. The magnet is pretty strong. It only lets loose if I move the scrubber too quickly. Then, it floats to the top, which is nice.

Pros
  • Can be used by both beginner and experienced aquarists
Cons
  • May require periodic replacement of cleaning pads

It's all about the scraper!

I'm glad I actually tested all the features on this before I reviewed it, or I wouldn't have been giving it a fair review. The pad surface that cleans the inside of the glass is just okay. It removes grime and algae, but it takes quite a bit of scrubbing. I also wish the magnets were a little stronger, but given how much cheaper this thing is than the Mag-Float, I think it's fine. The best feature though is the plastic scraper attachment. It leaves the glass perfectly clean in one pass, and you

Pros
  • Makes cleaning aquariums easy and effortless
Cons
  • Somewhat heavy and cumbersome to use
