Red border: Required a minimum of two swipes to remove film off the glass. Center area only took one swipe. The reason the edges required more swipes is because of the way the inside velcro pad is lined up. When you move the Piranha in a straight line or along the edges, algae is missed in between the scrubber. When you swipe in the center, your swiping at an angle which closes any gaps.

The Algae Free "Piranha Float" is an excellent and stylish magnet cleaner. The rare earth magnets are extremely strong, even when used on 1/2" thick glass. There is a good amount of resistance when pushing the magnet cleaner across the surface. The wet side is a black plastic block that floats when detached, and is easily concealed against black backgrounds. The Piranha float is priced competitively among other top rated magnet cleaners.
