I would agree that the current offerings from Rena, Fluval & Eheim are
all quite good and reliable so I don't think there's a bad choice (with
the exception of the Eco series from Eheim which I have no experience
with but have read lots of grumbles). For servicing, I much prefer the
current Fluvals over the Eheim Classic series (which is just getting a
little dated).

I'm nowhere close to being canister-savy, but I have an Eheim Ecco (my
first and so far only cannister) and I haven't had problems with it (that
I'm aware of). LOL It came recommended to me as a nice, easy cannister for
beginners.
What kind of grumbles have you heard?

What I heard (but have never seen) is that the Ecco stands for ECOnomy, and
its construction was not up to Eheim's standards. Grumblings about the
capacity and the quality of the components. There is more, but I'm not
comfortable commenting further, as I have had no personal experience with
this model. It might be a very good value for it's cost, and just didn't
meet elevated expectations. You should speak with someone who has both
Ecco's and other Eheims (or Renas/Fluvals etc) who might be able to make
more objective comparisons.
