"Easy to use with plenty of features, not unnecessarily complicated like lots of other competing products. Looks nice in the tank, pretty small, but moves plenty of water."

— flipfish

"The magnet is useless. My glass thickness is just below 15MM and it never comes to securing the unit to the aquarium."

Bottom Line

The SLW-30 Jebao Wavemaker is not recommended for users who require a reliable wavemaker due to its significant alignment and magnet issues. If you have a thick-glassed aquarium, you might want to consider other options.
