Pros & Cons
Pros
The price beats the local pet store (name brand) so getting two in this package is a bonus! The price is a bit cheaper than at your lfs. Well worth the money and would buy again in a heartbeat. Two packs for the price of one.
Filters filter out all the junk and require little work. Fits my filter pump perfectly. I always get stuck trying to find replacement filter cartridges last minute.
Cons
If you have a magnifying glass of a jewelers loop you would be able to see the rod getting thinner the closer it is to the impeller. These are the wrong size.
Not pleased with the cleanliness of the filters at all. Takes forever to rinse off and it gets in my tank. Filter bags are dirty black. Black beads everywhere.
Highlights
Quality
Drop in filter, easy part of the up keep of your tank and water quality for your fish.
The product works but not as well as expected.
Same quality as retail but a fraction of the price
Price
Great filter and the price is awsome cannot beat that.
The price is a steal compared to in stores as well.
Price is the same or cheaper in my local fish stores.
The price is a bit cheaper than at your lfs.
Competitiveness
Penguin products for my fish tank work far better than the walmart brand.

This time it arrives with no box and just 2 filters with black beads everywhere
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Same as the one that came with the pump so no hoping it will fit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you are hearing a lot of rattling or rumbling noise from the filter or it is just loud and the loud is not a water sound its probably a worn out rod
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
What happens is the impeller spins millions of revolutions over time and wears out the stainless steel rod
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You would notice that there is some play in between the hole of the impeller and the shaft

You can replace that rod for a lot less than buying a new one
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Get some needle nose plyers and pinch the rod just below the end cap if the end cap is at 1200 have the end of the plyers at 400 and then pivot the plyers up to 200 and this should push the cap off
