Eheim powerCleaner finally coming to market

By on Jun 28, 2012

It was just over two years ago when we picked up on the story about the Eheim powerCleaner — a motorized, vibrating power cleaner for brushing that tough algae off your aquarium — and now it looks like it is finally ready to hit the market. Our friends at Aquaristica posted a video of the Eheim powerCleaner in action we have after the break.

According to the rough translation from German to English, the powerCleaner features:

  • Battery operated and fully submersible
  • Handheld for most aquariums but extension handle can be used for larger, deeper aquariums
  • Cleaning width is 8 cm
  • Switchable LED light so see what you are scrubbing

We don’t have any word on when it will be out. the Eheim website has no pricing indicated but that is will be ready somewhere between late 2011 and early 2012. We can only assume with the video being released, the company is getting ready to set it free in the wild.

    If I shook my hand while using my scraper, could I achieve the same results? Kidding. I wonder how it will work on coralline.

    There’s a metal blade/tip. That mixed with the vibrating would make me pretty nervous of breaking off a small piece, which could (and has before) easily nuke a reef tank. I’ll stick with the little plastic scrapers, even though ysing them to scrape off coralline can be such a pain in the hind quarters.

    The cyano it’s scraping off in the video would be just as easily scraped off with any scraper. If it worked that well with coralline, I would be beyond impressed.

    This movie proves nothing! An easyblade will do the same job just as easy.

    I’m guessing you meant that it* will be ready somewhere between 2012-2013?

    +1 – That looks like some easy to ‘scrape’ off.

    interesting, but a pack of razor blades is cheap and works great for film algae and coralline algae.
