Has anyone used

Penn-Plax Silent AirŪ B11 Series Battery Operated Aquarium Air Pumps?

I currently have

Marina Battery-Operated Air Pump by Marina.

Just want to compare the longevity of the two units and the reliability.

Thanks,

Jeff

Ive been using the Azoo from foster's and Smith.I have one from when Keith and I did the GCCA show thats still going,and I bought the 3/pak when I brought all those fish to the last meeting at Keiths,and they're the same Ive used when getting fish at your place.

I went to Gander Mountain here in Janesville and picked up a Frabill 1420 Aeration Unit that says it'll run 30+ hours on 2 D cell batteries. It's still new in the package, never ended up using it for it's intended purpose. I'm sure it was less than $10, but oddly they don't seem to offer it on their website.

The ones I got from Fosters offer a 3/pak for around $12.

Dang, that would have been a better value? 3 brand new pumps in unopened packages for $12?
