HG-955 Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaner

This vacuum has been a game changer! When my husband decided to get an aquarium, I thought it was a wise idea to get my own. Little did I know how much goes into fish keeping. We eventually upgraded to 55 gallon tanks & the water changes were a lot of work. This works great to vacuum, although larger gravel does tend to get stuck. I ended up switching to fine sand & it has been easy to vacuum. Now we are able to do vacuuming on maintenance weeks instead of having to refill since it recycles the water into the tank. We also use it to pump water from the 5 gallon buckets that we fill & set on the floor into the tank, instead of having to lift the buckets up & dump. My husband is able to clean & do 75% water changes on both over 55 gallons in under 45 minutes now. Have been it for about 7 months now. One time the motor seemed to be going but my husband took it apart, fooled around with it & it was like new. Very easy to clean it, also. Highly recommend.

Flat out does not work right out of the box. Got it to work one time after multiple tries. 1. Vacuum attachment with sponge is put together so you cannot possible clean the sponge. 2. Intermittently does not work out of the box. First time I turned it on I could hear the motor but nothing was coming out. Had to turn it off and on several times. 3. Connections leak. I had to put teflon tape on the connection but then it still leaks when the tubing connects to the wand. 4. Big and bulky and hard to maneuver around the rocks. 5. The power switch is down near the plug???? Why just why? You literally have to put an extension cord on it and tie wrap the switch closer to the wand to have to close enough to turn off and on. 6. This is the scary part. I think it is an AC pump??? Hopefully it shorts out but it is not a DC pump. I will try it for a few more days but not particularly happy with it. I had higher expectations from Hygger. I usually like their stuff but this is just not that good of a design.

I purchased the Hygger 360GPH Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaner to help maintain my aquatic turtle’s tank, and I couldn’t be happier with both the product and the customer support I received. When the gravel cleaner arrived, one of the outlet parts was unfortunately damaged during transit. I reached out to Hygger’s customer support, and the experience that followed was truly exceptional. Emma from their team responded promptly, kindly, and professionally. She made sure the process was smooth from beginning to end and kept me updated the entire time. Hygger immediately sent a replacement part completely free of charge, and it arrived quickly and safely. The level of care and attention they provided genuinely impressed me. It’s not often you find a company that stands so firmly behind their products and goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. I truly felt valued and supported throughout the entire process. As for the gravel cleaner itself—it works amazingly well. It has made cleaning my turtle’s tank significantly easier and more efficient. The suction power is strong, the design is intuitive, and it removes waste and debris from the substrate with ease. This tool has already made a huge difference in maintaining a cleaner, healthier environment for my turtle. Overall, I highly recommend both the Hygger 360GPH Electric Aquarium Gravel Cleaner and the Hygger brand. The product performs exactly as advertised, and the customer service is some of the best I’ve experienced. A definite five-star purchase!

If it worked 100% right I would give it 5 stars but unfortunately only 2 of the 5 features work. I bought this product for the water change feature because having to slowly add water into the tank was getting to be annoying and was hurting my writer so the idea of just putting this in the bucket and it fills your tank up is a wonderful idea but the other features do not work I tried to do a sand clean and it broke the product immediately all the sand got into the motor and stopped working. I had to pull it apart and rinse it out so unfortunately I’m only going to be using the one feature which is fine I love that feature it’s just I can’t use the FULL 5–1

This pump works great for my 20 gallon tank, I'm able to do water changes in about half the time it normally takes me. I did seem to get a faulty pump first, as it stopped working after 2 months of using it once a week. I contacted the seller and they assisted me right away and sent me a new one. I received the new pump within 2 days of contacting and showing them that the pump did not work. This will be a game changer for my 65 gallon tank when I set it up and I highly recommend it!

Work for few minutes and that’s it! Worst purchase I ever bought in Amazon! Product is not working and I still have to pay more than $30 for return item. Very inconvenience!

Fonctionne bien mais le moteur est très encombrant et empêche de bien circuler entre les éléments du décor de l’aquarium. Par ailleurs, le tube d’évacuation ne se clippe pas et risque de partir s’il n’est pas enfoncé correctement

super for water change. but i have sand..REAL SAND... so the magnetic frag in my sand stick to the magnetic palm so you got to be power carefull but for someone whit treated aquarium sand there no problem if i siphon sand by mistake i get rid of water but paying attention to not throw the sand and when i fill back i suck the sand in the bucket and it return were it came from . if you got lot of plant and branches don't expect to go stick your siphon on leaf and soil there is no way that work whitout sucking all your skape in a gagantic mess loll!!! but it is not because of the siphon ;).if you really want to get rid of waste; take a juice pear for the meat push it around in all the aquarium to make the particule lift off and suck whit the vaccum i got the best result that way. and be carefull for the shrimp one of mine got stock in the thing lolll because i was too anthousiastic whit it because this thing is powerfull!

Nice powerful pump. Can Drain 25 gallons in about 8-10 minutes. I attached a 25 foot hose to mine and put the end in my laundry tub to drain. If you use a bucket make sure you have the off switch in your hand otherwise you will overflow. The cleaning tools are good, but I have a sand substrate and this pump does not like that. I need to clean it out frequently because sand gets into the unit and stops. I only use the pump to rapid drain and not clean in this tank.
