The only minus is that it takes up space! I was amazed at its size in the receiving !!! It is suitable for large tanks I would say. If not for the little ones with doors, you will be a little bothered because the shovel will feel cramped. And yes it is a bit heavy ... You can not compare it with a plastic shovel course!
I find it VERY well because it does not damage such as plastic shovels suffering droppings of our hairball ... now I'm happy to have a large tank, otherwise I would have not found so convenient!
