Durable and Clean
I have been using my Eheim 2213 for 19 years now, and have never had to replace any parts, until now. It is an incredible filter, that keeps everything in the tank clear and fresh. The only complaint I have has already been fixed. The double shutoff connections that they've added will make cleaning it so much easier. 19 years ago, they didn't have these, but I may buy some extras. I've heard that the only downfall for Eheim is ordering replacement parts. The only thing needing replacement is the suction cups that hold the parts in place inside of the tank. Everything else is wonderful!
I would definitely recommend this to others. Especially with a good price for a canister filter.

excellent product
Well-constructed filter that uses stainless steel clips to create a seal instead of plastic clips like every other filter manufacturer I've seen. I think the person below just had bad luck with the shipper to get the product broken on arrival.
I own several filters (Eheims, Fluvals, Penn Plax) and have found the Eheims to be the best - completely silent and well-constructed. The Pro Series is much easier to prime and perform maintenance on - and it's also more money. For the price, it's tough to beat this silent filter.

Flimsy Filter
I found this product to be defective upon opening the box. The tabs on the top of the canister used to clamp the lid on were broken on arrival. Frankly, they are far too small and flimsy to withstand such a high presure environment and moving water. Eheim should have designed this differently, so I just asked for a refund instead of a replacement. This would have been my third filter, but I've found my first one, a Fluval 303, to be the most rugged and reliable. Construction has gone downhill in the filter world and that is unacceptable. My advice: don't buy any fish filter without examining it hands on first.
