Comments: I'll admit up front to being a bit of an Eheim bigot, ever since they were recommended to me and I started using them in 1985. I still have that original 2013, though it's not currently in use. I love the quiet, and the overall ease of use. However, the recent features such as built-in quick disconnects, filter media baskets, improved pre-filters are truly outstanding. Most of the inconvenience and mess of filter cleaning is removed by these features, without a loss of throughput or function. Outstanding! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good...?? by Fishguyzeroone

Comments: Had this filter and the (2)2232's for awhile now. All worked great. For awhile. One other review noted the problem with the handle wearing out over time, mine is more broken then worn out. Still usable but have to finese it off and on for cleaning. Which leads my to the cleaning issue. Over time I have to due this more and more frequently (pump wearing out?) which is diappointing. Also one of my 2232 pumps just burned out one day for no reason and I cant find anyone who just sells that part seperatly. I dont wnat to spend $50 or more for a whole new top!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have been pleased with this filter. It does have one major problem. To prime and open the filter, the handle is moved. After awhile the plastic that holds the handle in place on the canister breaks, and a new filter head has to be bought, I'm starting on my 3rd filter head in about 4 yrs. One other thing is that the description says cleaning only has to be done about 3-6 months, at least for my tank I have to do it every 3 weeks, I have a 75 gal reef tank with seahorses and fish.I can see the water flow from the filter noticably decrease after 3 weeks. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

It's good by BENJAMIN STOKES

Comments: The Eheim ECCO 2232 sets up quickly and the performance is good and quiet. It's the perfect size for my 20-high planted tank. I wouldn't use it on anything bigger than a 20-high though. The media baskets lock together tightly to improve filtration efficiency. I also have a Fluval 204 canister which is on a different 20-high that is more powerful and slightly quieter, but the design is not as good. Overall, there's not a big difference between the two. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
