Wondered how they worked...seem like a good idea and design.
Tagging along for follow-ups

Of course it's a good design - it's a direct rip-off of the BK Mini.

$1129 vs $249 for a couple of hundred of material, can see people going for the Magus. Now if Aquagiant would start bringing them in...

That's because whoever ripped off the design didn't have to spend thousands of dollars and man hours in research and development - old Klaus did it for them for free.

And it helps that labour costs in the paradise of the proletariat is a tiny fraction of what it is in der Fatherland.

I honestly wonder why guys like Klaus even bother nowadays.

BTW, from the specs the Bubble Magnus is probably closer in performance to a BK Mini 160 or 180 ($879/$999). So the comparable prices do get closer after factoring in shipping and duties for the Bubble Magnus.

...and then people wonder why good quality skimmer manufacturers start producing their skimmers out of country cheaply to try and lower the price

LOL, the whole story is even better than anything one could come up with narcotic-induced high!
