Review of Eden 501 Ext Filter

UPDATED
The Eden arrived promptly today which was a nice surprise (thank you to Age of Aquariums for their prompt postal services).

Eden 501 External Filter
First off this filter is from Italy and the packaging is good and compact. On first view this filter is tiny. I hope that what it is lacking in size is made up for in punch but since it is only filtering about 16L of water and is rated to do up to 60L it should be fine. The total dimensions of the filter are a microscopic 16.5cm x 15cm x 9cm so there should be no problem with sitting the filter almost anywhere as it is about the size of a smallish Tupperware container.

Instructions
A very good instruction manual comes in the box, with a guide to all the parts (lots of them- 15 coded parts for replacement). The instructions are simple and easy to follow with easy to understand illustrations showing the steps.

Setup
Also very easy, taking perhaps 15 minutes from start to finish. The biggest issue being that the size of the parts allows for a much larger tank (approximately 3' or 90cm tank) which is much larger than the one I was setting up which is only an 18" tank.

Noise
The filter is a little noisier than I would have expected when it first started up but after half an hour the noise disappeared and it was completely silent except for the spray bar.

Overall
My first impression is that I might be a little hesitant in using only this to filter my water in a 60L tank and would be inclined to add at least a powerhead filter to it as well but for the small tank I have which only holds 16L it is more than capable. The really telling part of the review will be in a week when I check the water of the Axolotyl and see how it has improved over what it is now. Since Axo's are incredibly messy creatures it will be the real test for the filter.

Scoring
Value for Money- 5/5
Flow Rate- 4/5
Noise Levels- 5/5
Ability to Clean Water- 4/5
Maintenance Level- 4/5
Total- 22/25 88%

Conclusion
The cost for the Eden is $79.00 plus delivery charge of $7.50 (which can be offset by purchasing other products at the same time) bringing the total for this filter to $86.50 which is very cheap for an external filter. The Eden also comes with a 2 year warranty and is rated at 5 Watts which is as tiny as its footprint. I would recommend using this for sub 50L tanks if space is an issue internally and for tanks 50-60L if you use additional aeration, though time will tell on how good it really is at cleaning tanks of any size greater than 30L.

Update
After running this for a while now I can say that it is an awesome little filter. It has kept the messy little axo as clean as a whistle, a not easy task let me tell you :) I have upgraded the score to reflect its awesomeness.
