Echo Valley 5105 Argos Solar Birdbath Fountain Blue & Greywash Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband bought this for me for my birthday recently. While it is very attractive, and the birds seem to like it... we are both disappointed that you only get 2-3 hours of "fountain time", even on a bright, sunny day. The ad says it needs direct sunlight, and it means DIRECT. The sun has to be directly overhead for the fountain to work. And this takes place for no more than a few hours a day. Also, it already has a crack in it, after only just a few days. (have no idea how it happened) And when you go to empty the dirty water out, it collects in the rim and it is almost impossible to empty it completely. For $200, I would have expected more. I really felt more sorry for my husband, because he was trying to buy the very best for me. Overall, I think this product needs improvement or the price needs to be lowered substantially. It is not worth the money he paid for it. I would not recommend it.
Dec.2009-update: This fountain quit working completely after only 1 season of use! I am very meticulous about how I care for things, so it was not due to any neglect on my part. This is just a very poor quality product... period. I do NOT recommend it for anyone.

Create a relaxing atmosphere in the garden, patio or balcony with this solar-powered birdbath and fountain from Echo Valley. The water in this solar powered fountain cascades into the bird bath basin and then down into a generously sized hidden water reservoir which also contains the pump assembly. From there, the pump recirculates the water back through the fountain again. Poly resin construction ensures optimal durability for years of attractive decor. Best of all, there's no hassling with batteries or electrical cords, and solar power means no wiring for easy setup. Solar cells conspicuously mounted in the fountain keep the fountain flowing by day. A classic column-style with a wide, shallow bowl makes this a great centerpiece for the garden, and adds a distinctive touch to any area that could use a dash of outdoor décor. For optimal performance, this fountain should be exposed fully to direct sunlight. The fountain measures 20-1/2 by 20-1/2 by 28-1/2 inches (l x w x h).
