For what I'm using it for, it's working great. I'm using it to keep the water in my fogponics cloner oxygen rich, rather than going stagnant. My cuttings are rooting about twice as fast as the old fashioned ways of potting them up using an inert medium and hoping for the best. I have 12 Pakistan Mulberry cuttings that have roots after just 2 weeks in this system, and are ready to pot up.

I bought this pump to replace an old Whisper 60 that was noisy and no longer pumping air after 4 years. New pump is incredibly quite compared to previous pump and puts out a ton of air, way more than I need for my 35 gallon tank. The adjustment has a wide range and allowed me to dial in the bubbles to the desired level. Accessory kit is a great value at this price point.Can confirm other reviews that the hose included in this kit is not the same material that I’ve typically seen for this application. The hose is soft and squishy, correct size internal diameter but probably not the best choice material. I did not use the hose as I already have a tank set up and simply plugged my current lines into the new pump.Pump is probably 2/3 the size of Whisper 60, small footprint. Very quite. Will update review if it gets noisy after a few months use.

This air pump is exactly what I needed for my 55 gallon tank. The two air stones work a lot better than the usual one that lays on the aquarium floor. My fish would avoid that side of the tank because of the turbulence from it and stay bunched up on the other end. With the air stones closer to the top of the water there is more room beneath them for my fish to spread out. The air flow adjuster is great and should be on every air pump. Makes it a more versatile product that I can use in a large tank or small one by adjusting the air flow. The product is VERY quiet. All in all a 5/5. Highly recommend.

Works great as expected, except that the two one-way valve thing did not work at first. I had to take a toothpick to push it through so it would start letting air out. Note that installing these also lowered the pump noise for some reason while not really limiting the air going through. Pretty powerful, some I'm running it at a low setting for my 15 gallon aquarium. I've been using my own tubing and so far haven't had any tube unplugging.

bought this for my 2 countertop hydroponics systems, as my research led me to think that aerating the water would help plant growth. Came with everything i needed, including 2 airstones, 2 inline pressure regulators and a T splitter (along with other stuff i may use on other projects).i guess all those websites and forums were right, because after 2 months (and 4 root trimmings), i had to take several plants out of the hydroponics and put them in pots because they had gotten so large. some of that may have to do with better nutrients and pH level maintenance, but it cost less than 11 dollars.I ended up purchasing black air tubing (which came with cylindrical airstones that i now use instead of the globe-shaped ones that came with this pump), but all the connections work the same.the adjustable output knob is a nice touch, but it can be a bit finicky to get your level just right, especially with changing conditions (i.e., root growth). I have the pump set at a level where i cannot hear it from 8 feet away. The problem is not actually with the pump itself, but rather with the noise the airstones make.the only thing i didn't like was that the check valves that came with this pump would not work at the pressure level i wanted to use, so i had to omit them from my setup. not a worry, really, as i check the water level daily, so i am not worried about the pump running dry.So far, very pleased with this purchase.

It’s a little noisy on the highest setting but my turtle loves the bubbles so it’s worth it. Took me 2 minutes to set up, cheap and doesn’t take up much space!

I am not a great "horticulturist," so I allow an automatic waterer feed my plants for me. However, I don't like the idea of having a five-gallon container of stagnant water and fertilizer mixture sitting around so I got this pump to aerate the tank that holds the liquid plant food. I liked the idea that it came complete with air stones, tees, hoses and other accessories. I also liked the feature of being able to adjust the air flow. When the pump arrived, I promptly pulled it out of the box and plugged it in. It began humming and I could feel the air emitting with my fingers. As I turned up the adjustment, the air got stronger- so far so good. I then looked at the accessories. The air stones looked fine, although I already had a long, thin stone that I was planning to use for this particular application. I knew I would not need any of the other accessories except the hose and one of the tees as I was going to join both outlets together to run one stone. I immediately noticed that the hose was very soft and "mushy." I tried to push the hose onto the tee, and finally got it seated with some effort. When I tried to get it seated on the pump outlet barbs, that really took some doing because the tubing wanted to just bend and squish without really going on (even with using some light lubricant). When connecting the two outlets to the tee, the hose simply folded instead of making a graceful curve to the tee barbs, effectively causing two dams and shutting off the flow of air. At this point, I went and got some other tubing I had in the garage from another project. It was much stiffer and worked just as I wanted, and the pump was up and running to aerate my tank in no time. I must add that in order to get the level of air I wanted, I had to turn the pump up all the way. However, even running on full power the pump was quiet and did not walk around on the top of the tank. I gave four stars for the quiet, efficient operation of the pump but docked one star for the poor quality of the hose. This is a good little pump, just be forewarned that you could have issues with the hose.

Needed to replace my other pump for my 80 gallon tank. This one is quiet and has enough air flow for both of my air stones that I use. I have not tried the ones that come with the kit.

When you consider the price, size, noise it makes and the quality of the accessories, i would barely give this product a pass.One of my airstones already broke. It must have had a hairline fracture because it broke on its own. The "clear" air hose is starting to turn yellow.There are way better air pumps out there so i would not buy this again nor recommend.

This air pump is amazing and more than I could have asked for. I wanted a cheap setup for my tanks to have sponge filters and with the adjustable flow it works for both my 5 gallon and 10 gallon aquariums. It is virtually silent and does a great job at giving out a high output of that’s what you are wanting. I was skeptical for the price but ended by buying two! I would say it’s pretty great and I hope it lasts!
