Magnavore or Algae Free?
I'm considering getting a new magnet cleaner to replace my POS Magfloat. I"m debating between these 2 brands. Which one is better in your experience? I'm looking at either the Algae Free Hammerhead or the Magnavore 4 ER.

I've got the Algae Free (Tiger Shark, I believe) and like it a lot. It has NEVER seperated on me while cleaning and my magfloat did that all the time. Can't speak on the Magnavore as I've never used one.

Get the Magnavore. I have the Algae Free magnet but I think with the extra 'reach' the magnavore has, it's useful to reach places where it is unreachable with the Algae Free magnet.

Well I found a great deal in the for sale section for a Tiger Shark so I went with that.
