Has anyone tried one of these powerheads? If so, what was your experience? It's a Zoo med Power Sweep 228 with approx 270 GPH.
The end (return) sweeps back and forth 60 degrees.

Junk. It works good for about a week until algae stops the nozzle from rotating. Then, when you take it apart to clean it, the flimsy plastic parts inside fall apart.
 
I have one. I must say that it worked great at first, performance began to decline. After about 6 months it stopped sweeping. Cleaned it out, then it would sweep and get stuck. The sweeping motion was not as graceful as I would have thought. I would not buy another one.
