I'm looking to get an Eheim 2217 for a 55 gallon tank. I know that around 2013 or so, they moved production from Germany to China.
When I look at the reviews on Amazon, all the reviews up to 2012 seems to all be 4 and 5 star reviews (with far more 5s than 4s). After 2012, it's a mixed bag. All 31 of the 1 star reviews are from "china made" purchases, if the date of posting is any indication. The 2 star reviews are the same. All 2012 and newer.
So I'm worried that Eheim isn't what it used to be, and I should avoid getting this filter.
Does anyone have any experience with the new Eheim Chinese made units?
