Try a quick search up top, there's usually at least one thread a week on their performance and a few threads have thousands upon thousands of replies.

I have 2 RW-8s and like them.
Enough power that I have them turned all the way down for now.
One is new to me and the other I bought from someone who was doing a tank tear down. The controllers are mixed up now but one is wonky and gets stuck on night mode sometimes. Works just fine just won't "un-night" every so often.

My RW8 has run perfectly for a year or so and it moves significantly more water than my MP10. The shaft spins on ceramic sleeve bearings at each end and the rear one has a tendency to freeze up. I run it in a diluted vinegar bath about every 3-4 months for an hour or so to clean and prevent the seize. Mine is as quiet as my MP10 or more so at high speed.

I have 2 WP10's, 4 WP25's, 1 RW4 and 3 RW15's.
IMO
The WP10's are horrible, parts broke, pump locks up, no good.
The WP25's were reliable enough but they do lose speed quickly as they get dirty. Never failed in over a year of use, currently not used.
I really like my RW15's, and they are filthy dirty and still cranking out plenty of power for me. Same with the RW4 in my smaller tank. Much improved over the older models IMO. As far as the new controller. It works, but don't trust any fancy wireless sync settings, mine have never worked right.

I started off with (3) WP-25's about a year and a half ago. (1) of them burnt out on me a couple of months ago, the other (2) are still good, but I'm not using them.
I bought a WP-10 for a nano I had going, but I was not happy at all with that pump. It works, but I would pretty much use any regular old powerhead for water movement over a WP-10.
Now I have (2) RW-8's. They're a couple months old (I replaced my WP-25's with these) and they're fantastic pumps IMO, I just don't like how the brackets don't allow for 360º adjustment like the WP series does.
If / when these die - I'll replace them with more Jebao's. For the money and the performance, IMO - you just can't beat them.
