They are Chinese pumps, sold under a couple different companies. The ones on ebay are 'Sun Sun' and you'll find more State-side being sold as 'CoralVue High Seas Dual powerhead.' They are a sort of you-get-what-you-pay-for. The cord is just 5', and the suction cups on the ones with them, are junk, they always release. Definitely get the magnet version(s). They use a single motor and gearbox to spin both impellers, so they're a little noisy. And they are a little bulky. Maybe not a big deal in a large tank (200+ gal), but they would be quite noticeable in say a 75gal, which is the smallest tank I'd say to use them in.
