Not worth it Date: December 1, 2008
"Sence the day I got this pump home, it has givin Me nothing but troubles!

I am on My second 100 pump in six months, and on My 3rd repair kit from the Tetra site, just to replace the diaphragms.

I'm not quite sure why the split in the same place every time, but at 8 dollars per kit, I should have tried two smaller pumps for the same amount of money."

This product blows, air like a champ Date: August 26, 2008
"This pump would get 5/5 paws except for a few things of note. The pump runs on an electromagnetic diaphragm, which pumps air into the tubes. Basically, when the power is on, a simple lever connected to a regular magnet and a diaphragm is moved by an electromagnet near the regular magnet. In theory this is a basic and reliable design, but not entirely. If the pump meets any resistance it will force the lever out of its socket, forcing you, the owner, to open the pump and push it back in, unless you LOVE loud pumps that barely pump air. So yeah, I like this pump when it works, I ended up supergluing the lever which is held in place with foam, into its socket so it would not CONSTANTLY pop out and wake the neighbors. What is unfortunate is that these tend to be some of the best pumps out there for a budget consumer like me. I'd recommend opening it up when you get it, and put a drop of superglue on the fulcrum of the lever."

Love it. Date: May 15, 2008
"I have a 60 on my 55 gallon, and it's works perfectly. I just bought a 100 for my 75 gallon. It is a little louder, but that is to be expected for a larger pump. It runs 4 airstones in my 75 without any problems."

Awesome Date: May 10, 2008
"These are so quiet! The little rubber feet make this hum so nicely! You can only hear it if you are right next to it...
It's sleek and sassy and has a valve to chance from light to heavy bubbles. I use the 10size for all my little tanks up to a 10gallon. The only problem is because its so tall it cant fit under tanks like the minibows that have a base made for hiding the pumps."

I'm quite happy Date: May 5, 2008
"I bought a Whisper pump last summer for my 75gallon tank,as I wanted to add a big bubble bar for the tank.
I was actually surprised at how quiet the pump ran.I have quite a few aquariums with quite a few different brands of pumps,so I've had some experience with most of the brands. This product impressed me enough to buy again.
I also like the styling of it.They don't seem to vibrate like a lot of the other pumps do."

Most Disappointing Tetra Product Ever Date: April 27, 2008
"I love Tetra's filter, water conditioner, fertilizer, fish food, and algae control. They really worth my money. But this air pump so-called "Whisper" is very disappointing. The noise of this air pump is louder than my friends Aquatic Garden air pump and is just as disturbing as the noise coming from a helicopter. Perhaps I have been expecting too much. To be fair, this air pump is more powerful than anyone I have used. Maybe the trade off of great power is loud noise."

Great air pump Date: February 13, 2008
"in terms of noise, it is about the same as other air pumps. The shape is great. you can put it on a hard surface and it wont start shaking or moving around. Ive had other air pumps and they start moving and making sounds on a hard surface. the feet have lots of rubber. very powerful air pump"

The quietist bag for the buck Date: February 12, 2008
"I actually have two of them, a 40 and a 100. Both of which have ran non stop for three years without as much as a vibration, what else could you ask for? The larger one I actually painted black and proudly display it on top of my light hood. A geat purchase for any size tank."

SILENT! Date: January 31, 2008
"I bought a different (cheaper) air pump 1st and it seriously sounded like a jack-hammer. My tank is 55 gallons and right next to my TV...so I took it back.

This pump is like night and day with the cheaper one...so quiet, worth the extra few bucks!!!!!!!!!!"
