    From the looks of it, the one I linked is the best bet at the price point one is looking at.

    I put a RFQ on Alibaba to see if I could pick a couple of the higher powered motors off there but its the weekend...
    Going to order the one linked in the OP I think.

    Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

    Yes, I think it's a nice little one for the price.

    I was looking at the Bambi with similar specs, although the claimed decibels are only 54db. That's just normal conversation volume, but it's double the price.

    Let us know how you find it once you buy it.

    Okay so this thing arrived the other day and wow.
    Can hardly hear it. It is like a big cat purring.

    Ill do a video tomorrow comparing both this and my standard old one.
    Well worth the money!


    Had only one supplier on Alibaba reply to my RFQ.
    For two 1500w motors, £320 excluding customs.

    Each 1500w pump is $95 - ~£71.
    $245 for DHL air freight.
    Obviously importing 20-50 of these in a half container would bring cost per motor down a lot but I am not in that business (unless if people want some, then I am :p)


    [edit]

    550w - $53
    750w - $59
    1100w - $85
    1500w - $94

    You can get them in 240v, 120v and apparently 400v..
    They spec around 16kg

    Are you saying that in the end you bought it from the UK suppliers and not from Alibaba?

    Looking forward to seeing your video and your impressions.

    I bought from the link in my OP that yes is in the UK.

    I posted a RFQ on Alibaba for the motors just to get an idea on the price of these things.
