When our pump died, we were in a fix and needed to replace it quickly. We found this unit and have been quite happy both with the work it does, as well as the price of replacement filters.

Lousy product, the pump jams constantly stopping the filter. Getting it started again and back on the canister is a constant headache. Had this filter for a couple years now and nothing but headaches from day one.

I had just bought a 29 gallon tank, and bought an Aqueon QuietFlow 20. I put it in the tank, and it turned on making a ton of noise. An hour later, it stopped working. There was absolutely NOTHING I could do to get it to work again. So I went out and bought an Aqueon QuiteFlow 30, thinking it was just that one was malfunctioning, and this one would work. I put it in again and it make the same obnoxiously loud noise. And an hour later, it turned off. Again, there was absolutely NOTHING I could do to fix it. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk!

I bought the 20 gallon filter for my 15 gallon tank. I keep the tank in my bedroom, and would not recommend this filter for anyone who doesn't want to lose their mind being in close quarters with it. It produced a very deep humming sound that drove me totally bonkers. It was like a cell phone on vibrate, sitting on the desk. It was terrible, it worked great, but the noise was too much for me. I ended up exchanging it for a Tetra brand filter that was even cheaper (by $5) which is so quiet, they should trade names.

When i got this it was a gift from my uncle. It was a ok filter but it does its job. The only problem i had is if u had small fish like baby neon tetras just bought. THEY WILL PROBALLY GET SUCKED UP BY THIS THING. The bright side if you get the smallest size aqua clear inserts it fits perfectly in it :D. So it filter just like the aqua clear, I would by this if you wanted the aqua clear but a cheaper version :3

This filter is indeed whisper silent just like the box says. You even have to check just to see if its turned on. I rated this product a 3(average) because as a serious hobbyist, this product is not very reassuring it whisper silent because of its design but i would like better filtration Ive owned this product for over 2 weeks because my previous filter burned out, this product can have better filtration because my tank is still cloudy and for some unknown reason theres these white cottony particles in my tank that i believe are from there filter pads themselves.

This filter is one of my favorite filters because it is quiet. It also has a plastic piece that aerates the water as it flows back into the tank. It is not expensive and the only noise it makes is a little trickle of water, Which you have to be next to the filter to notice.

As for its performance, this product has been very good to me in both the 10 and 30 gallon sizes.
My 10 gallon does make a minor buzzing, but it does NOT make a sound that can 'be heard around the house' like I've seen other reviews say here and elsewhere. It is very small, barely audible over the trickle of water, and is only noticed when you have no other sound in the room. When the TV is on, I don't hear it. It's sort of like a running refrigerator.
Don't knock the product. As a filter, it works GREAT!

I absolutely love this product. its not only a cheap filter, but a great one. It hardly makes any noise, sure there is that little dribble of water but it isn't as bad as my previous filter, now that thing was a motor.

An Excellent Filter, Highly Recommended!

Had this for about a month (10 gal. version) to keep the home of my group of goldfish nice and clean, and I must say that I am extremely pleased!

After reading some of the reviews here about this filter, I was skeptical at first, especially with the fact that most people deemed this filter as being too noisy, or failing prematurely.

In actuality, this filter is relatively quiet, thought not as quiet as my old filter that came with my 10 gal. kit. But then again, my old filter didn't seem to do a great job, probably because it wasn't moving a whole lot of water every hour; that's probably why it was more quieter? The box for this Aqueon filter states a lab certified flow rate of 100GPH, so it's obvious and understandable if this filter may seem a tad louder than others, since its gotta move a great deal of water every hour.

I can't comment on the failing prematurely issues reported by others as I've only had mine for a month, but Aqueon does offer a lifetime warranty on their filters, something I have not seen with any other filter manufacturer. Gives you great peace of mind in my honest opinion.

Setup was a breeze, had it up and running in five minutes. The diffuser aspect of this filter is really cool, as it minimizes the noise it makes as it returns the filtered water back into the tank. The only noise that is audible is the hum of the filter's motor and my wall clock in the same room where my tank is; between the two, my wall clock is louder than the filter.

Due to the effectiveness of this filter, I found myself performing water changes at a month and a week intervals, as opposed to monthly intervals. Not that big of a difference, but it's good to know that this filter is doing what it is designed to do: keeping the tank water crystal clear.

Great job Aqueon, keep up the good work!

This filter is awesome! It's so quiet I can sleep in the same room, and sometimes I have to wonder if it's even running because I don't hear it. Only downside of it is that the replacement cartridges are EXPENSIVE.

i love this filter i got the power filter 10 for my 5 gallon with tiger barbs, neon tetras and cory catfish because the one that came with the tank wasnt keeping up and the water was cloudy. The aqueon 10 keeps the water as clear as it was when i cleaned my tank:) . i it is nearly silent except for a very small hum. AMAZING filter!

The filter works well and is quiet. Flow rate is good, and does not bother any fish in my ten gallon aquarium. I have ten fish in it and water quality is superb.

I am a koi fish breeder and I use my 55 gallon tank to start them out. I purchased 2 of the larger pumps to keep the aquarium going. The problem is the pumps are extremely loud, and the replacement filters are extremely high. I also purchased a 10 gallon pump for my tropical fish. It seems as though I am changing filters every two or three weeks. The filters are cheaply made, therefore they don't last for a long period of time. Does anyone out there know of a better brand to use?????

I bought a 20, in Januray of 2011, for my 20 gallon tank. From the begining I wasn't too happy with it, the water was never quite clear enough for my liking. This was an established tank, just upgrade to what I thought was a better filter. My tank is maintaned properly. Finally about a week ago, I added another filter thinking that would help with the clearity and it did, but then this morning, when I woke up, the Aqueon was not working at all. I took it apart, cleaned it very well and still nothing. Less than 2 months old and it's dead.
When it was working, it was on the louder side. The only thing I did like about it was that the water flo wasn't too strong, which was good for my current fish in that tank.
Also, the replacement filter's are VERY pricey.
Overall, a bad filter. I've had better luck with the Tetra filters, which are cheaper, go figure.

The filter makes quite the humming sound, and doesn't fit with my aquarium hood-the filter leans into the tank way too far and vibrates against the lid. I'm returning it for sure. It was easy to set up, though.
