Meh, I personally dont trust marineland enough to make canister filters.
After all, they havent had any experience with it, unlike eheim or rena, which have gone through generations of products.
That, and the fact that the filter is totally overpriced.

Marineland makes the Magnum line. Pretty good filters in my experience. Especially the HOT Magnum. They're no Eheim, but good filters none the less.
Yeah....Magnum is only one of the oldest canisters on the market.
Not to mention the fact that Marineland is one of the better companies out there today. Penguins and Emperors are very popular for good reason, as are the Visi-Therm/Stealth heaters.
I'm never one to trust a product based solely on a company's name, but I will certainly be more interested in a product if it comes from a good company. Marineland is no slouch.

Hagen makes the great AC HOB filters, but its canister filters have been known to have problems.
most totally "new" products are overpriced when they first hit the shelves. even so, i have seen them going for the same as Renas and Eheims.

Lol, I forgot about the magnum. Sorry if i happened to mislead you.
However, I still dont trust it enough to buy it. I'd have to see how it performs in the long-run.

Here are some reviews of various canister filters on the market.

It would be easier to just search for reviews on the particular filter you're interested in. Obviously, newer filters are not going to have a 'success history' and is a gamble, but that's when the manufacturer's reputation and track record becomes a matter of trust.
