| | 1.0 out of 5 stars Stopped working | 2022-12-23
You better hope it will still work after 1 year warranty. I had one for about 1.5 year stopped working and they wanted $150 for the “repair”. Currently running another one which constantly stop working.
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars Limited functionality as compared to my old Nero. | 2022-12-11
Quiet and strong
| | 1.0 out of 5 stars New product arrived already damaged, and stopped working after 24 hours | 2022-02-21
Would not recommend buying from this seller, it is the second Nero5 pump I have purchased and I opened the box for this and the product was already obviously used. There were scuff marks on the pump controller, but I figured it was just cosmetic and no issue. But then the pump stopped working after 24 hours of being turned on and after troubleshooting with AI technical support, they said the issue was with the pump.
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Nach Ablauf der Garantie Motor defekt | 2022-02-01
Eigentlich eine gute Pumpe, allerdings ist jetzt der Motor defekt. Die Pumpe war gerade ein Monat aus der Garantie raus. Das nächste ist die Support Seite vom Hersteller. Grauenhaft die Formulare zum ausfüllen wie Kaufdatum oder Telefonnummer funktionieren nicht. Für den Preis auf gar keinen Fall kaufen.
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen geringe Verarbeitungsqualität und sehr laut | 2021-11-12
Das Gehäuse war schlecht gegossen, das Flügelrad unsauber verarbeitet und das Auflagemoosgummi schief aufgeklebt. Die Pumpe verursachte zudem einen „Höllenlärm“ der wie ein Lagerschaden klang. Bei der Reklamation sollte ich dann zunächst die Rücksendekosten selber tragen!
| | Good flow pump | 2021-10-30
Has to be added to my ai app easy to use and change different patterns and flow rate A bit high priced I feel tho neally £200 a pop
| | 4.0 out of 5 stars Por ahora un 4 el producto no creo que es nuevo | 2021-10-21
Trabaja bien por ahora
| | Bought 2 one not working | 2021-10-03
The one that works is awesome, great power, easy to setup and thin wire. the second unit mad a clicking noise every revolution and didn't have the power of the first. Amazon refunded no issues so await unit 3, hoping its quiet and powerful like the first
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars Compact powerhouse. | 2021-08-30
Love the flush design of this unit. Makes no noise. The AP is great to use. Kind of looks like the Ecotec Light ap. Highly recommend.
| | 2.0 out of 5 stars short life span | 2021-08-05
When I bought this I thought it was great! Stopped working after eight months. I was going to buy a Nero3 ( I had my Nero5 dialed back to 60% for my 50gal AIO ). After reading the reviews. I found others with the life span issues also. I may still buy a Nero3, just because it is such an awesome pump. Maybe I will have better luck with it.
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars Very quite | 2021-06-29
Quite, small , very good flow and nice phone application .
| | 5.0 out of 5 stars Cool looking and works well | 2021-04-09
I have a 120 gallon fish and coral aquarium. I have one of these and one cheap, continuous output pump. It was easy to set this pump to run constant for part of the day and pulse like a surf for a few hours during the day. The teal blades look good too.
| | Fish getting sucked in | 2021-04-04
Seemed quite good, fairly loud and rattly, but was hoping it would just settle. Ran on max 40% flow in 200L tank. Within first 48 hours, found goby sucked up against powerhead guard dead. Seemed completely fine before, but assumed he must have got sick/died in tank and been pulled in. 2 days later, saw my clownfish get sucked in, got sucked up against the guard and unable to swim away, had to turn off before she could swim away. She was 100% fine right up untill this happenned. Maybe it was too
| | 2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware | 2021-04-01
Bought this thru another avenue ... not even 30 days and started having issues when the blue light ring was flashing between the red light. You would think you get what you pay for with something of this price ... but nope.
| | 5,0 von 5 Sternen Nero5 | 2021-03-25
Item as described, good package fast delivery.
| | Brilliant product | 2021-03-18
Very happy with the power head and controls through the app makes job easy to control flow
| | Great value | 2021-03-15
excellent water movement and fantastic control
| | Excellent quality | 2021-01-03
Bought this for a 4ft reef tank and has created great flow in the tank and only needs to go up to 70 % has made my other pump look quite poor so would definitely buy another
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Wenn der Nachbar das Aquarium steuert | 2020-12-16
Leider hat man bei den Pumpen wohl nicht daran gedacht, dass Bluetooth auch durch Wände geht. In meinem Fall kann mein Nachbar, aus dem Stockwerk darüber, ohne weiteres mein Aquarium steuern. Leider verhindert das auch kein Passwort und / oder ein vorgeschriebener Tastendruck bevor die Pumpe von einem neuen Handy gesteuert werden kann. Einfach auf einem Beliebigen Gerät die App installieren, und die Pumpen lassen sich bereitwillig auch von diesem Gerät steuern. Besonders schlimm: Die Pumpe
| | Great flow | 2020-09-20
Nero 5 great flow pump, now fish safe with the new guard. Love it!👍
| | 1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible customer service | 2020-07-11
Okay. Overhyped. Not good customer service
| | 4,0 von 5 Sternen Gutes Teil | 2020-04-26
sehr leise, nur zu empfehlen. Preiß/Leistung naja?
| | Powerful pumps | 2020-03-02
So far so good! Another decent product from AI. The ability to control these pumps and to see the actual flow rate of the pumps is great as now i can have a better understanding of turn over occuring in my tank. Bit on the pricy side but they are quality would recommend.
| | The best ! | 2020-02-11
Awesome product probably one of the best wave pumps I have ever used within the aquarium hobby. Bluetooth capability makes application for these wave pumps so much easier! In my 60g reef I have them at 35 % with exceptional flow
| | 1,0 von 5 Sternen Achtung: Fisch vernichter | 2020-01-04
Hallo Achtung die saugt Fische. Garnelen an. Seit 1 Jahr im Einsatz schon 4 Fische gestorben. Und jetzt ist sie defekt kann keine Verbindung zu mein Telefon aufbauen Leistung nimmt immer mehr ab. Ich würde diese Pumpe nicht mehr kaufen
| | 3,0 von 5 Sternen Könnte für den Preis besser sein. | 2019-11-18
Einrichtung mit einem Android Smartphone und Tablet nicht möglich. Mit Apple Produkten funktioniert es ohne Probleme. Für den Preis hätte man es auch für Android entwickeln können.

Super Preis, schnelle Lieferung, kompetente Beratung. Gerne wieder
| | 3,0 von 5 Sternen Leider deutlich hörbar und gefährlich für einige Tiere. | 2019-07-27
Leider ab 70% Leistung laut hörbar und kein Schutz gegen das Ansaugen leichterer Tiere. Mir sind wegen der grossen Öffnungen hinten schon diverse Tiere darin verendet, daher werde ich mich jetzt wieder nach einer anderen Lösung umschauen müssen.
| | Love it!!! | 2019-07-02
I love this little wave maker!!! It’s everything I expected and more, yes it is a little bit pricey but I can say it is definitely worth every penny! I will for sure be ordering another one of these pumps in the near future for my SPS corals!

| | 4,0 von 5 Sternen Super Pumpe mit kleinen Mängeln | 2019-05-23
Diese Pumpe macht eine gute und starke Strömung. Vor allem bei der geringen Größe. Die Einrichtung per Bluetooth klappt einfach und zuverlässig, genauso wie die Einstellung. Auch die Lautstärke ist super, eine der leisesten Pumpen die ich je hatte. (Und ich habe sehr viele getestet) Einige kleine Kritikpunkte habe ich allerdings. -Die Magnetbefestigung ist recht schwach! Bei meinem 12mm Glas hält sie so grade eben, verdreht sich aber oft beim anlaufen. -Zum abbauen der Pumpe, z.B. für die

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
