My old gravel vac was a challenge to get started, and often times would stop flowing in the middle of me cleaning the tank. This one is SUPER easy to get going, and has a very smooth and even flow. I love the size of it, It's perfect for cleaning fish food and waste out of my 10 gallon tank. The flow is not too fast, so you can easily pick food up off of the gravel without having to rush. If your tank is 15 gallons or bigger, I'd buy the next size up because this is pretty small. This company, Lee's, makes several sizes, this one being the smallest. I didn't know they made gravel vacs this size. It's so much easier to use and store than my old one was. If you have a 10 gallon or smaller tank, I highly recommend this.
