I love this item, especially for the price. At first I thought it was noisy, but then I realized there is switch on the pump where you can adjust the flow and now it's whisper quiet. My kitten learned to drink from in just a week and now loves it. It's small, unobtrusive and fits perfectly on the bathroom sink. It's also super simple to take apart and clean, taking less then 5 minutes to clean thoroughly. Much more affordable than other pet fountains and it has the option of a gentle bubbling fountain or a stream (it comes with a little tube that you pop in so the water will shoot out in a little stream, which some cats like). I've only had it for a couple of months but I think it's great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My cat was not drinking enough water. She would only dip her paw in a water bowl and lick water from her foot. I was told a fountain may help. I was attracted to this one because of the lower price. I did not want to spend a lot on something she may not use. She loves it. She no longer puts her paws in the water and no longer makes a mess on the floor. The amount of water she drinks has greatly increased. Bowl is very easy to clean, assemble and add water to.

The fountain was very easy to set up and get operational. Directions were very clear. Took maybe a week of me sticking my cats nose into the fountain to get him used to it but now he uses it with no problem.

I did a lot of looking around and reading reviews before I purchased this one. It works flawlessly my cats love it, runs very quiet, easy to clean and change filter. I have nothing bad to say about this fountain and the price was great compared to a lot of others out there. You can't go wrong on this one. just be prepared to clean the litter box more often. My cats drink way more water now then they ever did which is great for them. Again if your looking for a great priced quality water fountain for cats or small dog get this one you won't be sorry!!

I bought this because it seemed like my rescue cat might like it and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a fountain in case he or my dogs didn't care for it. Well, for some unknown reason it stopped working after not even a month of use and the filter looks quite dirty despite changing the water every day and using filtered water from our refrigerator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am so delighted with this reasonably priced, highly functional and easy-to-clean water fountain for my kitties. I bought it four years ago, and it still works perfectly. My two cats have drunk much more water since then, and their excellent vet checkups reflect the health benefits. Refill filters are also well-priced. What a great product!

Overall, I think this is a great automatic water fountain for small pets. I have two cats and they took to this one almost right away.
PROS
-Quiet motor
-Sleek design
-High capacity
-No "dead zones" with no water flow
-Easy to clean, change filters, put together
CONS
-High flow rate, doesn't gently bubble up like the picture shows... actually shoots like a human water fountain
-Can splash a bit onto the floor if you aim it off-center
I would recommend this to a friend!

My cat from the time I adopted her at 8 weeks old didn't like to drink from bowl. It got to the point I was getting very concerned for her so I ran out n bought this from Petco for $22. My cat now drinks water very well and loves her fountain. This unit is very easy to clean, filters are about $7 for 3 and each lasts me about a month. The only thing I will mention is when you unplug it you will not be able to plug it back in without emptying and refilling it. The motor almost burned out when my power went out in my house because when it comes back on it gets back logged with water I think. I've had mine 6 months n its still working great. Honestly for $22 I'm extremely satisfied and at this price wouldn't be too angry if I had to go buy another. Well worth the money especially not worrying about my cats water intake anymore :)

Quieter than the more expensive fountain it replaced, easy to care for. Wish it had a larger reservoir but after several weeks, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Cat approves as well!

I was so happy with this fountain when I bought it because it suited my (cat's) needs and it was inexpensive. But like others on here, I was disappointed that about 3 months later the fountain part started to lose energy and I had started to research maybe better (but more expensive!) fountains. I looked at the instruction manual (ah doi) and found that in addition to cleaning the actual fountain every so often, you also need to clean the actual motor by disassembling it and getting any build up cleaned out. I tried that and it has fixed any issues I was having! There was definitely a lot of gunk in the motor so no wonder it wasn't working as well as it used to. Disassembling the filter is very easy and its easy to put back together. Just follow the directions. Otherwise, this fountain works great. I try to clean it every 2 weeks because it does get kinda slimy after a while. The replacement filters are inexpensive as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!
