I have a cheap Orlushy DC pump. It's been running solid for nearly 5 years. Every now and then when it starts back up the programming gets wonky and it sets itself to the slowest speed and I have to manually bump it back up. Not terrible, but not great either. It's happened once while on vacation and maybe 5 other times so just about once a year.
Looking to upgrade to the VariOs pumps

2 jebao mdp 6500 on my 210 work great all of my flow will be jebao from now on.
I am slowly moving my return pumps over to GHL (made by Sicce). I have had the Neptune COR 15 and 20's, and they worked well when I was using Apex for a controller. I am currently using the Red Sea ReefRun DC pumps and they are working well, but the software is the issue for me.

Panworld for 16 years straight. Bulletproof.

Yep, Panworld 250ps in basement sump room since 2008. Just keeps on running like new.
Hi. Ecotech M2 which I bought due to battery backup and a quality brand.
Battery fails after 2/3 years and the pump cant seem to keep a consistent flow rate which seems to be a problem for many!
Might go for the Red Sea pump next. Sicce pump with the Red Sea app plus the 5 year guarantee.

Is it stainless or plastic internal parts? They sound like a decent pump.

When I switched from AC to DC for quietness, I bought a Maxspect Jump. It's had zero issues and I have no regrets.

I’ve had a Jebao DCP-10000 pump on my 125g tank for almost 5 years now. It has run flawlessly the entire time.
Ironically I bought a Neptune COR pump to replace it, but realized as well as the Jebao runs I don’t need to replace it. So now I keep a COR as a backup to my Jebao.

Sicce and jebao here. I started with the sicce sdc 6 dc pump but found that it was way too loud even after sicce sent a new impeller then a brand new pump. They both sit on a shelf as backups. I switched to jebao 2 years ago and it has been super silent and reliable. I did not get the wifi version. The controller and it being plugged into my apex are plent for my needs.

Other for me because I ran Iwaki pumps for years, and the main pump I bought used.
I sold it & it ran for more years. Now I found Blue Line Pumps, DC with a 5 year warranty, silent & running for 1.5 years with -0- problems so far.

I'm not sure. The body is metal. I think the impeller is plastic. They are heavy in weight. I joke, that, if you hold a Blueline pump at your waistline and drop it on your bare foot you will break every bone in your foot. But, if you hold a Sicce pump at your waistline and drop it on your bare foot you will break the pump!
