We have one exactly like the posted at Canadian Tire. Both the wife and I have found it fairly easy to clean. The pump pops apart easily and the impeller comes out to be cleaned. I have kept many aquariums over time. It is just as easy to clean as any aquarium filter.
Our cats and dog use it with no problems at all. We had the domed one at one point and found it to be a hassle. The pump was under powered and getting the water to flow over the dome consistantly was a headache.
