Sicce Syncra reviews

I am looking to get some reviews on these pumps. How quiet are they? How do they compare in performance to an Eheim? Thanks!

I have owned the 3.0 and 2.0 and they are great pumps. They are very quiet and are much smaller than eheim pumps. I would highly recommend these pumps.

I have owned the 2.0 for 6 months as a return pump for my 40 gal breeder. I never have a problem and it is very quite too. I highly recommend it.

They are not dead silent, although they are one of the quieter pumps Ive used. Mine still had an audible hum to it, i was using the 3.0

I got the Sicce Silent 3.5 today. I am quite disappointed! It is at least 4 times louder than the Rio I have in there. It does move a ton more water, but too noisy. It is pulled out for now and Rio back in. I may run the Sicce on its own for a few days to see if it gets any better...
