Jebao SCP-150 / CP-55W

[ZaneTer]

Does anybody know the difference between the two models or has any experience using them? Please give me your feedback on the units. If I get them it will be two going into a 6ft 180g.

I am after owner experience only.

Thank you kindly

They IMO ARE a replica of the maxspect gyre and have not been very reliable.
Biggest problem with Jebao product is lack of US parts and support .
I personally like Jebao products but also like reliability and warranty

Comments are taken on board. How did using it work out for you? Which model did you use?

The issue with maxspect is I can buy 3 Jebao 55w units for the price of a single xf330 in the U.K.

Are you using them or used to have them?

Agree but when they die, you’ll tell yourself I could have bought maxspect and still have it LOL.
I had model 55. Id imagine if you clean them regularly, you’ll get decent life out of the Jebao units

I remember first gen for both Maxspect and Jebao were of very poor quality with failures across the board.

These are now 3rd gen mature products.

Used to have. I have much larger tank since and they were not strong enough to stay tight on glass

Did you have any of yours break?

One just quit running. Impeller, etc was good.

Scp Has master and slave great for duel pump
back and forth waves in sync (More expensive) an updated cp. My next one
Cp is Single without sync. (Cheaper)
I used this one.
Great performer for price, limited flow at the bottom of the tank although can place lower. (No surface waves then so pointless) Mine fell apart after a few years use. Just need spares (Not available) A great option and a good performer but sadly throw away when broken.
(A late reply but question answered in case some one else looks)

Thank you for the reply, I am one of those who are looking.

The SCP ones have sine wave converters in the power supply for less occillation and longer service life supposedly, I've got SCP 70M and 150M and an SlW10M, they came out with newer MCP ones with a fancier lcd controller might get one of those.
