This canister filter was the first one I was going to go for due to price. I thought of whats happening with the filtration and thought it was absurd looking at some of these other canister filters. I then decided to do a lot of research including top YouTube channels but also popular forums and everyone seems to REALLY love the Fluval 07 series a lot.
I gave it a look just for the hell of it and started noticing major features I didnt think about
Is the motor completely silent or is it a loud noise?
How easy is it to get the trays out?
Does it have flow adjustment?
How big are to tubes going in and out of the aquarium?
What free media comes with it and is it any good?
How many layers does it have?
Whats the warranty period and is it any good?
Whats the actual size of the cannister filter itself?
What does the intake and outtake ends look like and whats their functionality?
After I started to actually give it thought I was like I see why everyone invest so much in the Fluval filters. I would have made a major mistake if I went with the one here. The lack of features, the bulkiness of it, not just the canister filter body itself but the actual pipes and what goes into the aquarium that people will actually see, this is very important to me. Not to mention we're comparing a cheap Chinese motor you can actually hear clearly verse a SILENT Italian filter so even if you dont tuck it inside a cabinet, it's still silent and it's aesthetically pleasing so if someone saw it, it doesn't look cheap and horrible. The actual price for the Fluval if all those features I bulletined above are important - it's a no brainer and with PETCO you can get a significant amount off (up to $50 off). You're also getting top notch filters with excellent media included in their price.
Why I would get this filter:
If noise wasn't important to me
If aesthetics weren't important with what goes in the tank, tubing, and canister itself
Easy flow control built in that actually worked
Ease of cleaning the media stacks/filtration wasn't a big deal
If I were on a really tight budget
A fish room where I had many large tanks (even here, some will simply DIY their own filtration)
I think this has its market for sure but if you are willing to spend a bit more and its your show tank, seriously look at Fluval and also look at Fluval 3.0 light, it's highly recommended from top YouTubers but also across the community in general. I've found Fluval to be impressive, up there with Seachem (excellent hang on back filter but also one of the priciest options for HOB).

Tried every method to try and quiet this thing down, but its really just loud. Even in it's quieter moments, you can always hear a distinct rattling. Being that it was my first cannister filter, thought this was normal until I picked up a fluval 207.
Fluval = DEAD silent. Barely audible even standing right next to it. Also way more thoughtfully designed in terms of maintenance as well as efficient water flow.
Highly recommend Fluval. You can pick them up at Petco w/ 25% off curbside pickup discount.
