Title: Great Little Fountain and Excellent Value!
Review: This is an attractive and functional little fountain and an excellent value as well. The fairly large number of negative reviews it has received seem to revolve around two issues. One is the plastic (and in the opinion of some, “cheap” looking) construction and the noise of the pump.First of all, regarding the plastic construction…this is a $20.00 pump (a great price for what you get by the way) and you are not going to get a fountain with copper and slate for that price. I did get a little bit concerned when I first opened the package, concerned that I might break it when I unpacked it if I weren`t careful. It had been very well packaged however and I Just made sure I was very careful when unpacking it. Once it was unpacked and set up however, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about the quality of its construction. Not only did it seem very sturdy when completely set up, I found it very attractive as well. The fact that it is plastic doesn’t detract from its appearance at all in my opinion.As far as the pump goes, when I first started up the fountain, I also felt that the pump was louder than it should be. I was able to adjust the sound of the water by experimenting with the placement of the pebbles in the base and on the 3 tiers however, and the sound of the pump is no longer a problem for me. I think the manufacturer of the pump would do well to add a section to the instruction manual to the effect that by experimenting with the placement of these stones, one can increase the sound of the water flowing to the point where it drowns out the sound of the pump.After having used the fountain for nearly a month now, I have discovered that the pump noise is EXTREMELY sensitive to the water level. It’s important to keep the amount of water right up to the fill line (which is small and difficult to find). If the water level starts to drop…even slightly….the pump noise will start increasing and continue to do so the farther the water level drops. If it gets too low, the pump can be damaged. On the other hand, if the water level is kept at the fill line, the pump noise should not be a problem for most people. Also, I found that in warm weather I have to add about 10-12 ounces of water daily to keep the water level at the fill line (your mileage may vary). This is not the fault of the pump, it’s just the way things work…in other words, normal evaporation.There is also a water flow control on the pump itself so that you can adjust the amount of water through the pump. You have to remove two screws and take out the pump to do this however and I haven`t found the need to change it so far. Another point about the pump noise is that I was really only aware of it when I was within 1-2 feet of the fountain itself (and I have good hearing). Most people aren’t going to notice the pump noise unless they are in an otherwise exceptionally quiet room and fairly close to the fountain. One last point about the fountain noise is that you need to keep the water level at the proper level. If it drops too much, the pump will become noisier but once the water level is restored the pump becomes quieter again.One of the biggest positives in my opinion is that this fountain uses low voltage DC current for the lights and submersible pump. I’ve always been concerned about indoor fountain submersible pumps which use 120V AC current. Any time household voltage electricity is used in or around water there is a hazard of electrical shock and/or fire. Low voltage reduces this risk to near zero.That is why most building codes these days require the use of a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) in certain household locations (i.e. bathroom, etc.) which will trip a circuit breaker and shut off the electricity if water has gotten into the connections somewhere and is causing potentially hazardous current leakage. You almost certainly have them in the electric wall outlets in your bathrooms (they have a red or black “reset” button between the two outlets) and possibly in your kitchen as well. You can also buy portable GFCI’s at your local hardware and Amazon also sells them (http://www.amazon.com/TRC-90265-6-012-Shockshield-Portable-Protection/dp/B000XU5MEG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342325556&sr=8-2&keywords=gfci). They plug into any wall outlet.Since this fountain is low voltage (as I mentioned previously) having a GFCI is not as critical. Still, it’s worth having one on it if you want an extra measure of safety or if you are concerned about any water making its way along the electrical cord and into the transformer/wall plug (not likely but still possible). If you have an indoor fountain with a 120V AC pump, you DEFINITELY need a GFCI in my opinion.Another point about this fountain is that mine HASN’T leaked at all. Also, if you inadvertently overfill the water level, such that it overflows the edges of the fountain it can create the appearance of leakage when in fact it is NOT leaking. Splashing over the edges of the fountain can be mistaken for leakage as well. I found that mine does splash a very, very slight amount (an almost imperceptible amount) but after all, it *IS* a fountain and that’s what fountains do!! Again, any splashing can be minimized by experimenting with the placement of the stones. Still it’s best to place it on a surface that cannot be damaged by water, such as Formica, tile, etc. You certainly aren’t going to want to place it on that antique solid cherry lamp table!I also like the placement of the LED lights. There are 3 of them and their placement is well thought out. One is just inside the very top of the fountain where the water streams out. Because the LED is amber, it creates the appearance of dancing water at the top of the fountain. It also can appear to be candlelight. I have also mistaken it for the flame of a candle many times because of this same lighting effect but I consider that a positive.There are two more amber LEDs, one which illuminates the middle tier and the last one which illuminates the bottom tier. Some may find the lower two LEDs too bright but you can easily use a small piece of dark tape to direct the light downward instead of outward. I haven’t found that to be a problem however. Overall, the lighting is very attractive, particularly for a fountain in this price range. You can spend $100-$200 or more for a fountain and get only one LED that shines down from its top however this fountain’s lighting is far superior.Regarding the sound of the water, it is quite audible and can be heard some distance from the fountain, about 10-12 feet or so. Still, it is not a large stream of water….about what you would get if you let a faucet partly open. It is very relaxing and satisfying however, but if you are looking for a more powerful water sound, you will need to spend more and get a larger fountain.The fountain is very aesthetically pleasing, not only from the sound of the water flow but visually as well. It is also versatile. In addition to being a display fountain, it can also be used as a night light and a cat drinking fountain! As long as your expectations are properly set regarding it, (i.e. don’t expect copper and slate for that price and understand that so far, even the very best electric submersible pump is going to make sound that is at least slightly noticeable if you pay close enough attention to it). I like mine so much that I am ordering several more.PROs — Very Attractive Looking- Low Price, Excellent Value- Operates on Low Voltage DC Ccurrent- Relaxing Water Flowing Sound- Well Placed, Well Thought Out Multiple LED lighting- Power ON/OFF switch on line cordCONS — NONE – changed from NONE to Stopped Working Properly after little over 1 month.UPDATE – 08/21/12I have had this fountain in service just slightly over one month now. About a week ago, one of the 3 LED lamps in the fountain stopped working and there appears to be no way to repair since it is imbedded in the plastic structure of the fountain. A few days ago, the second of the three lamps stopped working as well. Right now, only one of the three lamps continues to work properly. It is now past the return window with Amazon so I cannot return it or receive a refund for defective merchandise. I am continuing to attempt to get Amazon or the product manufacturer to refund my money.Also, Amazon’s policy on reviews does not allow a change in the rating originally provided at the top of the review otherwiseI would be lowering the rating on this item to at least 3 stars.UPDATE #2 – 09/18/12After not all that much pressure on my part, Homedics, the manufacturer of this fountain agreed on August 30, 2012 to replace the fountain if I returned the defective fountain to them using their prepaid shipping label (no cost to me). I had sent emails which were not quickly answered but contacting them by phone seemed to be the ticket to getting the replacement. I received the replacement fountain via UPS today so I guess we will now see if the replacement fountain lights work any better than the ones on the original one. I will update this review again after a reasonable time to report how the replacement fared.

Title: Nice little fountain for the price until it started leaking after 2 weeks!! DESIGN FLAW!! BUYER BEWARE!!!
Review: Yes, it is made of plastic & the parts may look cheap when you look at them individually, but once it is assembled & operating, it is quite charming. For $20 I think it is a bargain. I had another $20 HoMedics fountain that lasted about 5 years. My cat drank from it & was quite upset when it no longer worked. I primarily bought this for the cat to drink from as he has not liked any of the fountains designed for pets. Also, they all are priced way too high in my opinion & are not very attractive. I placed it on a black dinner plate to catch any leakage (none so far) & sat it on the bottom level of my foyer table where the previous fountain was located. It actually looks really nice on the black plate. The square fountain base is a nice contrast to the round dinner plate. I cannot hear the pump running & it does not splash too loudly. You can manage the level of water noise by how the rocks are placed & it will also control the amount of water splashing. I used distilled water as I have very hard water. Distilled water will increase the life of the pump versus tap water. Overall, the cat & I are both very pleased with the $20 fountain. I do not find the light to be too harsh, it has a nice warm glow. It was very easy to assemble. I added some of my own rocks from my previous fountain purely due to decorative purposes. It came with an adequate amount of small rocks. I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the fountain. I will probably order another one to place in my bedroom because I like it so much. It is well worth the $20 price. UPDATE: After approx 2 weeks of use, fountain started making grinding noise & leaked water all over the place. I had it on a black dish, but it overflowed the dish. Water was leaking from the bottom of the fountain bowl where the cord exits. Fountain was almost dry which caused the motor noise. Would have ruined my wood foyer table if I had not caught the leakage in time. Fountain performed flawlessly until it just started to leak. Can’t trust this fountain. I had cleaned the fountain at least once after a week & used distilled water. No reason for fountain to leak except design flaw of placing cord exit in bottom of fountain bowl. The water was not flowing over from the top as I had just checked the fountain a few hours previously when I turned it on that AM. The water level was not too high & no water was leaking over the edge. DON’T BUY AS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN OR IF IT MAY START LEAKING! Very disappointed as I really liked the fountain. Returning for a refund. I am giving up on fountains after this disaster.

Title: Nice & Relaxing, But a Lacks Some Quality
Review: This is a compact waterfall that fits well on a countertop or desk.PROS: The sound of the falling water is relaxing, and the colored lights are a nice touch. The pump is pretty quiet with a steady flow, and you can shift the shelves to direct how the water falls.CONS: The unit comes with very poor instructions, and I had to figure out assembly. All of the pieces are cheap, and the stability of the tower is questionable.Overall, I would recommend, but not as as a centerpiece on you coffee table.

Title: Four years use with no problem – until I dropped it on the floor
Review: I purchased this fountain in 2020 and have used it virtually every day for short periods of time since receiving it. It is pretty, creates a nice atmosphere. The light is a nice touch that I wasn’t sure I’d like — but do! I am purchasing another one to replace it, as when I was cleaning it today, my foot tangled in the cord and pulled it to the floor. One of the supports broke and can’t be repaired. My fault, not the product’s. As long as your expectations are realistic, it’s definitely worth buying.

Title: Wrong color sent. Bright lights.
Review: Updated review 10.6.24: I have come to throughly enjoy this tranquil little fountain. It has a calming effect.Initial disappointment at unpacking when discovered the wrong color was sent. I received the one with silver leaves.I ordered the earth tone leaves. Beyond that Its a small plastic fountain. That has yellow lights that are too bright so I cant watch the water fall. Frankly Im disappointed. But you get what you pay for.

Review: Lo compre porque alguien de la casa por algun tiempo tenia problemas para dormir, el ruido relajante del agua y la luz de la fuente le permitió conciliar el sueño. Hoy está guardada, pero incluso puede servir para decorar un espacio de la casa y el ruido del agua cayendo siempre será relajante e incomparable

Review: This is a very simple but well made fountain. All of the components are plastic, but the finishes are good enough that for viewing purposes – which is what this is for – it’s practically no different from the metal and wood that it imitates. Assembly is easy and the included pebblestones – which are real – that you can scatter adds an air of authenticity to the set-up.The pump is not completely silent, and emits a quiet hum that is noticeable in a completely quiet room but would otherwise be undetectable in a room with other sounds, such as computer, music, fan/hvac, keyboard typing, etc. The yellow LED lighting is a nice touch although we’ll have to see how long they last.Overall quite impressed with the quality for the price and I’ve enjoyed watching it when I wanted to take my eyes off the computer screen to focus on something else. Longevity remains to be seen but other than the lights I don’t see anything that could fail easily. If the design of this fountain is appealing to you then this is worth a shot.
