Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We ordered this fountain a week ago. For starters, the bulb went dead right out of the box. It wasn't a big issue; we replaced the bulb for under $5.00. The first bad thing about the fountain is overall design. The pump comes with suction cups on the bottom which are apparently supposed to anchor the pump to the bottom of the basin. Unfortunately, the hose that runs from the pump to the fountainhead is only about half the length it needs to be to reach the bottom. Second, the light in the fountain, which was the main selling point, does nothing to light the water as it bells out of the fountain. It only lights the birdpath portion. The water from the fountainhead is completely dark. With all the design flaws, it dows work well and gives an accent point to the yard, and the bubbling water is very soothing. It just doesn't show up at night.
Update:
Sunday, May 30 the bulb went dead again. It should have lasted two months. We are not replacing it because as I have said before the light does not allow the top of the fountain to be seen at night. Also, the pictures I've seen, including the one posted here, must be an artist's rendering. The instructions say to keep the pump pressure low. On that setting, the outpouring of water looks nothing like the bell shape in the picture. It's barely even a trickle. Also I do agree with the other reviewer who says the water blows out at the slightest breeze. It certainly does. Finally, it's billed as a fountain/birdbath, but none of the birds around here got that memo. I haven't seen a single bird anywhere near it. This product is NOT recommended.
