This is absolutely gorgeous but very tippy. I immediately had to replace the solar pump ( bought a plug in one) and the hose that comes with it was cheap thin rubber that was totally inefectual. Replaced that with aquarium tubing. The top jug isn't attached and loosely sits on the metal holder so if bumped falls off. Hasn't broken yet but got chipped up. Not worth the cost since you have to replace the working parts and general instability . But it is pretty 🤨

The cascading bowls are nice. It takes some repositioning of them to get the water flow right so it doesn't drip outside of bowls. The solar panel I received only worked one day and then totally stopped. Customer service was poor in responding. After several emails I was told to send the pump back for testing, which means finding packaging for it, locating a post office, and driving there to drop it off. Yes, they emailed a postage free label, but for a cheap pump, and to possibly receive another defective one after sending the broken one back, it's not worth my time.I am extremely disappointed. Not to mention the first fountain I received was the wrong color and already had to send that back just to get another one that's defective. Very frustrating situation from beginning to end.Update: One month after purchase the the gasket to the hose constantly leaks so fountain runs out of water. Have to fill twice a day until I find a solution.

It looks nice. The sound of water is minimal, The bowls fit loosely into the wire brackets. Water needs to be added daily. As advertised, it only works if in direct sunlight not clouds or shadows.That being said, it looks nice but with the water sound so soft it is not a feature to relax with considering it has to be outdoors not under a screen where you would be sitting and hear it.

This fountain is very pretty and a perfect size for my patio. I fell in love with it as soon as I set it up. At least, until I realized that it will only work if the solar panel in the direct sun light. All you have to do is stand in front of the solar panel to make it stop working. I bought it months before it got warm, so I can't return it. I've ordered an electric water pump to install so that I can enjoy it in the evening when we spend more time on the patio. I'm sad that this fountain did not include a chargeable battery. It would definitely be a 5 star fountain if it did. As it Is I wouldn't order it again.

I really like this fountain, it is a very attractive and unique piece in our backyard. It works perfectly, however there are a couple things to be aware of. First of all, the solar panel has to be in direct, unfiltered sunlight for it to operate. A slight cloud or any shadow on the panel will stop the pump immediately. Also, the three smaller ceramic pieces do not fit into the base at snugly as one would like. So there is some danger of one of them potentially falling onto the ground. I used some moldable Putty to keep them somewhat in place which has worked so far. Overall though this really is a great little fountain, just make sure your expectations are set correctly. The panel does not store any power at all, so when there are clouds or at night it will not be running.

arrived in good condition, in a timely fashion, and looks exactly like the product that was advertised. Only a little bit funky in the design, which requires some adjustments to allow the water to flow from top to bottom unimpeded.

We received this fountain with no problems, all parts were there and nothing cracked or broken. Set up was very easy. Love the green color to blend in with our backyard. We placed the fountain on the corner of our ground deck which was not under cover, filled it up with water, connected solar panel and away it went. Cute! I placed blooming outdoors plants all around it to add color and hide the tubing and solar panel cord. The "tinkle" of the water in it is not loud at all, so if you are looking for a big water noise this is not for you. We found it just right because we were sitting close (abt 15ft.)to it on the other end of our covered deck. We get about 7 hours hours of sunlightjust on the little area where it is setting. Works great! Although as stated doesnot work on cloudy days, but will work on partly cloudy days. When we want it on at night we just plug in the electric adapter which we bought seperatly. I wish the price had been lower but all in all we love it.The directions say it will freeze in the winter so be sure to take it in. It does have to be cleaned about 1 a month but it's not a problem and I have to add water to it about every 5 days depending on how hot it is. The birds in our yard love it too. Even though we have 2 birdbathes a few do drink out of the fountain and well as the one cat I have seen. Just remember it is for small spaces.

It was hard to tell from the photographs the actual proportions of the fountain, so I worried it would be too tiny for what I wanted. It isn't. It is absolutely beautiful and I absolutely LOVE it. The ceramics are well-made and the fountain works beautifully. Make sure the connection between the pump and the solar panel is firmly in place - I didn't initially and thought something might be wrong with it. Assembly is a breeze and it was up and going in no time. Heavy cloud cover blocks the sun from the solar panel and stops the flow, but nothing else has slowed it down. I knew that I wanted solar power to prevent having to use a power cord, so this was perfect for me. The panel doesn't store power (no battery assembly) so on overcast days it won't be running, but I am fine with that. The ability to avoid a cord was my primary goal. I didn't think to check about the battery/ability to store solar power. Even knowing that now, I would buy this fountain again without hesitation. The price made me try it - the beauty and quality make me glad I did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fountain to anyone.
