Product Description:
Aqueon QuietFlow Power FilterAqueon QuietFlow Power Filters and cartridges were designed with the fish and the aquarist in mind. The patented filter designs include unique features to enhance water quality and clarity, increase oxygen levels and lessen noise.

Aqueon QuietFlow Power Filters feature four stages of filtration–mechanical, chemical, biological and wet/dry–for the cleanest, clearest, healthiest water. Higher flow rates ensure higher dissolved oxygen content for healthier, more active fish. The internal pump design helps dampen noise, eliminates leaks, and starts up automatically after cleaning or power interruptions.

Four Stage Advanced Filtration System

Stage 1 - Dense floss removes particles and debris.

Stage 2 - Activated carbon removes toxins, odors and discoloration.

Stage 3 - Patented Bio-Holster removes toxic ammonia and nitrites.

Stage 4 - Diffuser grid removes additional toxins while adding oxygen for more active fish. It also reduces splashing makes the return exceptionally quiet.

"Very Very Noisy"
This filter is advertised as being quiet, but it is by far the noisiest power filter I have ever had. It appears to clean well, I have a canister filter on the same tank, but the noise is unpleasant.

"Pretty Good!"
I got my Aqueon Power Filter Quiet Flow 30 in a aquarium kit. So as far as the price no idea. As far as quality, effectiveness, and Ease of Use: pretty good! My filter is super quiet, as long as the water isn't super low! It keeps my water super clean! Now I have only been in the hobby for 6 months, but I wish I would have bought one of these filters over my Bio-wheels in my 75 gallon tank!

"POS"
buy a penguin or an aquaclear. I bought this filter and switched it out with my aquaclear 50. It was working great, but then it just wasn't picking up debris like it should. my tank turned into a murky mess, smelled like a swamp, and ammonia began to rise. POS. Period.

"Best bang for the buck"
I've read reviews about it being loud but mine is nearly silent when the water level is up. The "bio" insert is the noisy part as I think it is designed to direct the water to disrupt the surface so I have one on a tank in my bedroom and I've removed that stage. Also, over the years I've had many HOB filters and I think the floss used by Aqueon is by far the best although I rarely get 30 days before bypass but healthy fish don't care!! great filter for the value and PETCO has them on sale regularly.

"Cheap, but ultimately it shows"
I recently purchased the Aqueon 30 to supplement my Filstar XP2. The primary purpose of this filter is simply to be quiet and to move some water, nothing more. I wasn't expecting it - nor needed it - to be on the level of the better power filters on the market.

Unfortunately, it was loud from the jump. The filtering capacity is limited and the media is underwhelming. It's a bit bulkier than I anticipated and the cover doesn't muffle any sound - only amplifies it.

If you're looking for a good value and don't care about potential noise issues, this may be worth considering. I would not recommend this filter as your end-all option - it's a role player, not a star.

"I love my 55"
I love my Aqueon 55. It moves a lot of water and the cartridges aren't expensive. It traps a lot of debris so you have to clean the cartridges every week to two weeks but you can keep using them for a month or more. But it keeps my tanks nice and clean which I like.

"Set it and forget it"
I've had this for just over a year now on my 29H and haven't had a single issue. As long as you remember to do basic maintenance it will run fine and keep your water almost crystal clear, it is a HOB after all. The tank is a species only multie tank with over 30 juvi's and the filter hasn't had a problem with this bioload even with biweekly water changes. For the price it's worth it, but there are better HOB filters with more filter area for around $10 more.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the fact that you can plug-n-play with it is nice. No more messes with filling up the filter with water beforehand. Also the plastic is not very brittle and I've dropped the housing a few times into the tub before I clean out, with siphoned out water of course.

"Decent if it fits"
I got one of these in a promotion at a pet store. On a 20 gallon long, it is diffucult to get onto the tank. The glass lids will also no longer fit. The filter is quiet, and starts right up after a water change, but is a light grey in color, so really stands out from my black back ground. The replacement cartridges are about $3 each, and there is very little room to shove additional media into the water path.

"Looked to be a Great Filter"
The setup was nice, but I never actually got to use it. This is the reason I am writing the review. I bought one of these for my Oceanic 30 gallon Hex tank, and it didn't fit on the tank. The hex tank has about an inch and a half lip on top and this filter wasn't made for this. The guy at my LFS told me that yuo wouldn't find quiter though, as the motor resides in the water. That ins exactly the reason why it wouldn't fit my hex tank though. I will try it again on one of my standard tanks and see what happens.
