You really think those $400 to $500 pumps are being hand made in the US with better made products? Same stuff made by the same Chinese manufactures. Box states assembled in USA not made in USA. How do you think they copied the product? It may be because they were contracted to mass produce the product. And really how much R and D goes into making a magnetic driven pump? R&D was done many years ago. As far as cheap parts they all use cheap parts. Plastic is plastic. Magnets are magnets. solder is solder copper is copper. There are some differences in firmware but that does not justify the massive cost increase. So with that being said I would much rather my $80 pump fail as opposed to a $500 pump. I am not naming brands because apparently they are sponsors my last post on this topic was deleted. My point is that you dont need to buy into the HYPE. There are other options out there. Yeah if your a millionaire and can drop a grand on 2 power heads go for it. I would rather put that grand into live stock. I will have $over $800 worth of coral to your 2 overpriced power heads. I am in this hobby for the Corals and having a beautiful tank not to keep up with the jones on equipment.
No, I don't think they are hand made in the USA, barely anything is anymore. I wouldn't even compare Jaebo to Vortech because they are totally different. Jaebo copied TUNZE and put a Ecotech sounding name on it. Tunze is made in Germany. Plastic is plastic but there are low quality and high quality magnets and amateur and professional soldering and low quality and high quality way of sealing the parts from water damage. Fit and finish, quality of shafts and R&D is what I'm mostly thinking of. Flagrant copying is also immoral and one of the reasons the Chinese own half the US. I for one don't buy into the hype, I try to buy quality products when I can even if it costs a little more. Your tone is extremely defensive so obviously I hit nerve. Jaebo pumps might be a fine cheap pump, but don't think for a second they match the quality of a Vortech or Tunze.
Very true, and no matter what we currently have invested it's only going to go up because u can never have enough lol.Not only thousands but some like the rollers 10's of thousands on coral . Weekend fix of 200-500$ on corals
I can't speak from experience on jaebo products since I use vortech and tunze but my thoughts are this.... I can't believe so many people are going out and buying the jaebo dosing pumps. It just released and there's no long term proof on how reliable it is. Most of have hundreds if not thousands invested in live stock not to mention the time we put in to keep it all alive. Is it really worth saving a few hundred dollars and risk an overdose or something catastrophic? Or spend a little more and buy something that's proved to be reliable. There's no way I would risk all the time and money I have put into my tank with a cheap doser. I would rather dose manually and save money for a decent one. But to be fair only time will tell how good the jaebo doser is. For all I know it could be the next big thing. For now I won't touch it with a 10ft pole.

Let's put it like this.
Ecotech vortech: Lexus, Imani suits, caviar dining
Jebao: honda, walmart suits, mcdonalds
They do the same thing, minus the fancy bells and whistles. Services are always better with price. In the end the job gets done
