U can look for second hand ehiem if u can wait. Tried couple of cheaper brands and they serious cannot last. Once they leak , it is gone , buy o ring , change the outlet inlet all same. Cannot determine cause of leak. Some cannister sometimes leak sometimes don't, have phobia turning them off to wash because not sure what will happen next. Have eheim that leaks and change the seal or locks and it will last couple of years more. And last but not least , got resale value. Never seems out of fashion.
