Good solar fountain during sunlight hours
Works well in garden fountain. Solar power is effective. Had to trial several tip sprays so did not waste water over edge of container but the straw like rods help to keep it in middle of container. Have had several years , had one year where an animal (deer) took it out and had to buy another one but only happened 1x...very light weight.

Love it
Haven't tried it yet but I've seen other who have these and I love them!! Can't wait to set up. It does have rods to prevent it from sitting on edge of whatever you put it in. Stays near or in middle whereas others I've seen don't have them. You can use without them. Love the idea of different fountain tops.

Like it!
Easy to assemble. Had to trim off an inch on each of the "legs" in order to fit the bird bath. There is no noise. It began working immediately after being exposed to sunlight. After it doesn't seem to keep it's solar charge once it gets cloudy or someone stands near it and a shadow is cast over it. I've only had it 3 days so maybe it takes longer to get fully charged. I notice that when the wind blows, water that is spurting up from the fountain it blown out of the bird bath. You may need to check water levels frequently on windy days.

Did not work as described! Performance score is zero.
This product did not work as expected. I am supposed to return it but I went out of town. I did not realize I missed the return date. Therefore, I wasted my money.Because it did not work per product description, itβs just a waste. I would score this as zero.

Doesn't work well in wind.
It doesn't work as well as I hoped but we are having a lot of wind since buying it which alters the way it works. Water splashes out of the bird bath which eliminates the water it can draw from and dry out quickly. We are constantly refilling the bird bath!

Live in Florida. Nice to have birds come in for a drink.
Love how it keeps reuse the water from the birdbath keeps the water clean. Instead of sitting stagnant.

A+ Bought mine in July 2022!!
I live in the Coachella Valley. Summers here are brutal with temps from 110+ on average. The picture window where the fountain sits in front of gets the full brunt of the sun for most of the day here. But this little fountain has survived one hellish summer so far and then some! (If my fountain could talk! π€π) It is still running much to the delight of my kitty who loves to study it while she's waiting for a lizard, bunny or a bird to pop by. I placed my fountain outside in a somewhat shallow plastic recepticle that I got at the 99Β’ store. Nothing fancy. So here are some longevity tips that work for me and will probably work for you.Keep plenty of pure water in your recepticle. Be sure to keep an eye on it during the day to make sure the water stays at an optimum level. Water levels go down because of evaporation and water being splashed either by the action of the fountain or wildlife playing in it. I just keep a hose or water container close by to quickly refill it. Clean the motor periodically depending on use. Keep your recepticle clean. Can't stress that enough. That means scrub it clean bcuz of slime/dirt buildup. If you've placed the fountain in a birdbath, you also need to scrub out the dirt and slime impurities often. Don't neglect this important step because it totally helps with the overall function of your solar fountain. Also clean your device. I can't stress that enough either. I take a power nozzle and spray the entire underside of it and gently swipe off any slime or dirt with your fingers to get around and under the tubes and motor housing on the underside.. And Yes!! You can power nozzle the motor. It blows out dirt and slime!! I do it all the time. I also do a periodic vinegar cleanse to it. Fill your recepticle with water. Stir in approx 1/4 cup per gallon of water. Use basic plain vinegar (acv, white. Do NOT use any other kind of vinegar) put your cleaned fountain in the water and let it run in the sunshine for 2 days. Maybe longer if you get less full sunshine. After 2+ days, dump the vinegar water, rinse device and power wash the underside again as little round gel like formations may have grown underneath, then add clean water again, add the device and set it in the sun again. It will be like new. The vinegar clears out scum and calcium buildup inside the device which causes a flow reduction or just stops working altogether. I do this once/mo usually or when I see my fountain struggling to work.There are no switches or controls. The solar motor is all it needs. And with some love and attention it will live a long time. I love my fountain. But I bought it for my indoor kitty and I think think she loves it more than me π
