Like any piece of equipment it partially comes down to just luck, whether the exact one you got will be reliable or not. I've never had to deal with customer support or warranty issues with Jebao, but I suspect it's not too good. If nothing else with most of the major US brands you will get good support.Good to know jebao is somewhat reliable. Definitely gonna look into pne!
I agree completely, cheapest and gyre do not really go together.If you need to buy some time with a cheap powerhead than skip the gyre and put a couple cheap Amazon numbers across the top. The cheap gyre isn’t a good solution for now - I have a half dozen of those $10 powerheads that I use for various things like mixing salt or emergency flow. They will run for awhile while you save for something decent
Not trying to argue but have you actually owned a jebao gyre pump? I'm just trying to see if your negative opinion came from experience with them. Like I said I've had two that have worked great for me for a few years. Maybe I just got lucky thoughI just got myself an icecap gyre 2k this week (its on sale at reefsupplies.com). Jebao is cheaper but they suck and I'll never buy another jebao product again.
Whatever you decide, you will be happy. I've had aquariums about 15 years and this is my first gyre, and I will never spend money on a normal powerhead again, this thing is amazing.
I think you should hold out for what you want, dont settle for a lesser machine. Christmas deals are coming soon you might get a good deal.
Not a gyre but I did buy a controllable powerhead which cost a $100, the thing completely failed after 4 months for no reason, I just noticed one day the propeller not spinning anymore. You may be right it may be my usual bad luck, but I've had several cheap $15 sunsun powerheads last 1-2 yearsNot trying to argue but have you actually owned a jebao gyre pump?

Understandable, if I had an item quickly fail I probably would do the same. I've never had any of the jebao regular powerheads but overall I've heard more good than bad.Not a gyre but I did buy a controllable powerhead which cost a $100, the thing completely failed after 4 months for no reason, I just noticed one day the propeller not spinning anymore.

I guess its hit or miss, but I got bit, so now I've blacklisted them.
A sunsun was the first cheap powerhead I bought, super powerful but I don't like how open it is (fish blender) and the suction cup mount sucks. Or doesn't suck, which sucks lolNot a gyre but I did buy a controllable powerhead which cost a $100, the thing completely failed after 4 months for no reason, I just noticed one day the propeller not spinning anymore.

Bumping thisOk so I want ro bump this thread again for something. My lfs is selling the gyre 2k but without wifi. Is it mandatory to get the wifi or can I just buy the gyre 2k
charge your phone ;JoyfulBumping this
You need the wifi or the hydros wave engine. The pump only is to add on to a hydros for example.Bumping this
