I like them, I have 3 currently running. Check out Plans for the weekend monster canister for some pics, tips and other suggestions.
my biggest beef is it doesnt include the media and IF you buy their media it nearly dbls the cost. I also had one blow out and leave me a few inches of water in a 180. the rest was all over my basement.
My filters have been up and running for over 10 years and I have yet to see a need to drill a hole in the intake pipe in case the filter leaked.
Check and see if they sell 2 inch thick Poret filter foam over on your side of the pond. It takes up a fair amount of space if you double it up.

I had earlier versions back in the 80s, and found them hard to clean, sometimes hard to start after cleaning, leaked after a while, wimpy pumpage (flow), and a general pain in the ***, especially for that significant chunk of change.
I tried a few other brands of cans after that, found them all to have the same type problems, and decided cans weren't worth the bother.
I only use sumps or HOBs now

Well my eheim 2260 not a 2262 a I posted earlier very quick delivery as I ordered it last monday being from the us I think the pump runs at 120v while over here in the uk we have 240v so I will buy a uk pump may even buy a 1262 pump which would bring it up to the 2262 spec.
Well that's a bummer it's not a 2262 and it's 120V, probably also didn't come with the quick disconnect valves as that was the case with my 2260 filter.
