Anyone have or use it? I am looking to get rid of large waist and uneaten food on a frequent basis without having to use my python.

I have read good and bad reviews. People say it works like a charm, while others say the siphon net wont trap small particles well.

Let me know, might be getting one in an hour or so.
 
Well, I just read a review that said not to even bother if you have sand as your substrate, which I do. There just seem to be as many bad reviews as there are good ones. Which in my opinion, is never a good sign. Most the ppl that are happy have small tanks with pebbles/gravel as their substrate.
 
kleen sweep, look for it on thatpetplace.com. You just hook an airpump up to it and go, works great. I have sand in both my 55 & 65, the vac picks up some sand, but not enough for me to worry about it, and if you really care it usually works to hold the bag in front of a powerhead and it spits the sand out but still traps the large waste.
 
I have one & I love it. It works like a champ for picking up sh*t & uneaten food, but some of the really fine stuff doesn't stay trapped in the filter. I have sand substrate & I just stick it down in the sand, much like you would when trying to clean it. Doesn't really suck up too much of the sand.
