I saw these at my LFS about 4 days ago... maybe 5. They look better IMHO. We'll have to wait on some performance reports from the users, but AFAIK maxi-jets are cheap in price and more important, solid.

I REALLY wish they would of done away with the suction cups with the new design!

 

huh they don't work as well and are more expensive then the 3rd party mod kits.

 

I am not sure I follow you here - are you saying kits plus the price of the pump is less than these MSRPs?

 

I don't know that they realized that is for the pump AND the mod in the same box...but I do think that they arent pushing as much water as the 3rd party mod...maybe an upgrade in propeller would fix that?

 

exactly and they 3rd party kits puts out more flow, that is with the maxijet included.
1200 with kit is 35 dollars on marine depot, and it comes with 2 props one for 1600gph and 2000 gph. Even the msrp beats MSRP.

most upgrade kits sell for 15 and a good priced maxijet is like 25 dollars.

While marine depot is the cheapest, aquacave sells them also( although sperately) for only around 5 dollars more.

there kit may have been worth it if they added a magnetic attachment instead of the suction cups but they didn't. If they are only making the 50 dollar kits now, They have assured I won't buy maxi-jets anymore, assuming online stores don't actually sell it for like 30 dollars.
