They do look slick in black tho, both of my used mp10's were noisy until I purchased new ceramic shafts and now they run much quieter.The shafts are easily cracked if dropped or jammed and just a tiny hairline crack can cause tons of noise. I spoke to an Ecotech rep who advised me to never run the pumps without the filter pads, which I guess safe guards the pumps more, but who really wants to clean those out all the time.
