i replaced an old stainless steel fountain with this one.. holds up great, able to use bar keepers friend to clean, and to put in the dishwasher.. i only use 1 of the clips to hold the middle section down since it looks nicer, and it doesn't affect the performance at all.. pump is nice and easy to clean.

Great fountain! My cats love it and are drinking more that they did from just a bowl.
It would be nice to have something on the bottom so it did not move around as my one cat likes to play in the water.
I put it inside of a boot tray. That keeps me from having to clean up water from the floor everyday.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cat-Mate-Pet-Fountain-70-fl-oz-Water-Capacity/dp/B001TY5D6C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cat Mate Pet Fountain, 70 fl. oz.

I absolutely love this fountain and so do our cats! It runs very quietly and has a nice trickling water sound that is actually quite soothing. Big enough where both cats can drink out of it at the same time! Easy to clean!

We received this fountain yesterday.  I set it up within an hours time---water circulating through the fountain just fine.  I read the other reviews left which complained about parts missing and someone not being able to set it up----I had no problem!!!  The statue comes in one solid piece---there is an opening in the back at the bottom.  Reach in and up and you will find the rubber pipe which connects to the pump.  You leave the little pump in the back opening in the back.  You lay the light in the front water barrel part of the statue, and pull its cord through the hole on the back wall of this little water barrel, where the pump sits.  You connect both the pump cord and the light cord to the back of the solar panel.  Pour water into the barrel.  The water will fill the back hidden part of the statue as you pour it into the barrel in the front part of the statue.  The pump that you put in the back opening needs to be underwater back there to operate.  I had to add almost a quart and a half of water to 2 quarts to fill it and cover the pump in the back opening.  Finally---I switched the on button on-- on the rear of the solar panel--and the fountain worked just like it should!  I put the solar panel on the roof of my patio so that it will get enough sun to run continuously.

Beautiful fountain for the price!! We were replacing an old "flower" style fountain that got broke, but we didn't want to pay upwards of $40 to replace.
That's how much my local pool store sells these for, and this is the exact same quality!  As long as your pool filter is nice and clean, it gives a great, long stream of fountain action! My family loves this one so much, for the price, we will likely add a second one for the deep end.

STILL love it! I have since put my fountain in an oversized shallow bowl since it does splash a little bit (no big deal).  It also helps catch overspill when I refill it.  I'm quite amazed at how fast I have to refill  - the water evaporates surprisingly quickly.  Of course, depending on your climate, your result will vary.  I still highly recommend this fountain as an ambiance enhancer.

Still love this fountain.  If you're finding that the pump sound is louder than the splashing water sound, it means that it's time to top off the fountain.  The water level is too low and air is getting into the pump, causing the loud pump noise.

I've only owned this fountain for a few hours, but I already LOVE it.  The sound of the water is wonderfully soothing - I can't even hear the pump. I found the LED a bit bright for my tastes, but I fixed that by putting a small quartz crystal over it to diffuse the light. I have it tucked in between a couple of plants on my desk at work and it is lovely.

Awesome fountain! I love it! Only flaw is if the power goes out kitties have no access to the reservoir (which is good because one cat loves playing in water) so if I go away I put out bowls of water just in case!

This fountain was exactly what I was looking for! I was concerned about water pressure, but the flow is great. The pump works just fine. The color has a little more green to it than the picture, but that worked out in my favor. This looks great on my urban rooftop deck!

I've had this fountain for almost a year on a bookshelf in my office, so it's been running 40 hours a week consistently without a hitch. Yes, there is a little motor noise, but if you try some of the tips & tricks in the other reviews (don't use the suction cups, keep the water full, etc.) it's not very noticeable.  The water sound really is quite lovely.  And the reviewers are right, it has an "ugly" side and is really designed to be in a bookcase and not in a 360 degree view on a desk or table.  Since the water in our area is quite hard (mineralized), I refill it with grocery store jugs of distilled water, and have not had to clean it at all since I purchased it.

Overall, it's really been great and I've had a lot of positive comments.  I would certainly buy another one and think my money was well spent.

My dogs love water from this fountain! I haven't had any problems with it, and would definitely buy it again!

We purchased this water fountain just about a year ago, and absolutely love it. Each of our foster cats and kittens figured it out quickly, and many spent hours just standing over it and watching the water ripple! Our own two cats now rarely drink from anything else! It holds much more water than one would think, and we usually only have to fill it up every 2 - 3 days. Our only complaint is the A/C adapter WAY too small for the motor. It typically runs pretty hot, but the adapter case popped apart a couple months ago, and the motor overheated today. Hopefully it will work after sitting for a few hours. Despite this detail, we are still extremely happy with this, and every other Catit product we own.

This fountain is great and I highly recommend it.

My cats were apprehensive for the first day or so, but when they got used to the low hum and the fact that something new was in the house, they became obsessed with it. One of the cats sits and watches the thing for hours. They definitely drink more, which was my goal, and they use every feature of the fountain, sometimes drinking from the reservoir and sometimes directly from the stream/bubbler. I have one cat who used to constantly tip over her water bowl so that she could watch the water slosh around. That behavior has ceased now that she has a constant source of moving water to watch/drink. I am obviously happy about not having puddles of water everywhere anymore!

It definitely works better if it is fuller, so I add water everyday and clean it and entirely replace the water about every week. Recently I noticed some gunk spitting out of the filter into the bowl, so I added some dish soap to the water and let it cycle for a while. I then rinsed it thoroughly and filled with fresh batches of water several times until no more suds came out and until the little pieces of gunk stopped shooting out. I assume it's natural for buildup to occur, and I think this highlights the importance f regularly cleaning the fountain.

Very easy to clean. In the past, fountains have been troublesome to do regular maintenence on. So glad it's easy to take care of! It's two easily separated parts, that can both be hand-washed or dishwashed. No special cleaning supplies for small, difficult to clean pieces! Other than the two main ceramic pieces, there is only the motor and the filter.
I like to clean the main pieces once weekly to remove debris and do a complete water change. The inexpensive filter needs to be changed once monthly, and I'll do motor maintence (described in manual) at this time.

Glad the device is quiet. I really didn't want any noise to be produced. The motor is extremely quiet and the fountain is only a bubbler-type in the top piece. No fountain noise!

My cat loved the new fountain immediately, as soon as the water was poured in. It holds a large amount, so he has fresh water access for a long time. He has been drinking so much more, and finds some enjoyment in putting his paws in the bowl. It's probably a little to big for one cat, but he loves it, so I'm happy. :)

This is the best fountain I have had. It is very quiet, easy to assemble and super easy to clean. the cats love it (though one was skitticsh at first, i think because of her reflection, I did some positive reinforcement with treats for a fe days and that was enough to dispel her fear, she loves it now.)  I love that i can easily stick it in the dishwasher, its great!

So far I love this fountain! It works great and is very easy to assemble. I have only had it for a few weeks, but I have no complaints. Also the fountain is quiet, I do not hear the motor. The best part is my two cats enjoy it!

Unlike others that have reviewed this I find it much better than any of the other fountains I've had previously.  It is, however, noisy.  Not noisy from the pump but noisy from where the water falls.  It SOUNDS like a waterfall - which I find very irritating at times so I had to move it to another room.  All in all it's the best one I've purchased and I'm very happy with it. It's also VERY easy to clean, unlike others.  Oh and I didn't have any issues with it clogging quickly.  It has ran for 3 weeks without any clogs - and I haven't cleaned it.

This is a very cool fountain. My only complaint is the fairy was broken off. I will need to glue her back on. But for now she's sitting on her own just fine without glue. The water comes down in a thin stream at the middle and then splits into two to go around the fairy. It also comes with a light so it lights up from underwater.

Edit: Dropped some stars. The water gets dirty fast and smells bad, my cats try to drink from it and started getting sick from it. And the waterfall is more of a little trickle down the middle.
