The Jebao SLW-20 Fish Aquarium Wavemaker has positive reviews for its functionality, but durability and magnet strength are concerning issues. Users report issues with the product being damaged during shipping and the magnet not holding well, especially on thicker glass. However, some users find it to be a reliable and quiet device, which makes it worth considering despite the concerns.
Potential damage during shipping and magnet strength issues make this less durable.
Prevention: Take extra care during shipping, provide enough support, or use magnetic mount carefully.
The device operates quietly, making it suitable for aquatic environments.
Effective in moving water around the tank.
Users find it affordable and easy to use.
The magnet is not strong enough to hold the device on thicker glass.
Tip: Use a three-piece mount for better stability.
There are concerns about the device's durability and lasting performance.
No, the magnet is too weak to hold on a 1/4-inch glass tank.
The product has been noted to work in a caustic environment, but durability concerns may arise.
"My favorite water mover! I use several SLWs (-10, -20, -30) and they all work very well. Two are in a caustic high solids environment, and they keep on doing what they do. Simple, inexpensive, and reliable. These will move water and will do so quietly."
"I never had a magnet as week as this one is. It does not hold at all. Perhaps it would work on glass 1/8 in. or less. My tank is 1/4 in. This pump is useless to me."
If you prioritize price and reliability, the Jebao SLW-20 Fish Aquarium Wavemaker could be a good option, but be prepared for potential durability issues and ensure you have a proper mounting setup.
