review

The fountain is the same as on the picture. It's a bit smaller than I imagined but I still love it. The rocks look believable and the water imitates a flow of a stream very well. The trickle is pretty quiet, you have to get up close to hear it but once there it's magical. The led light is a bit too bright so I covered it up with a translucent shell, which makes it look even better. The pump is very quiet and it came all set up and ready to be plugged in. The manufacturer recommends distilled water so the tube doesn't get clogged up with build up. So far I haven't noticed any leaks. I placed it among my plants and they seem to love the humidity and the sounds of the water, I also arranged my air plants on the edges of the rocks and they look great.

I got this fountain as a gift; it's not something I would have purchased myself, and certainly not for the current price ($25) on Amazon. Reviews I've read elsewhere indicate that it might not be very durable. Purchasers have reported that the motor eventually burns out, and some people have noted that it leaks. I haven't had these problems yet, but I have noted several shortcomings:



*It's much smaller than you might expect, about 6.5 inches high and 5 inches wide (though, to be fair, the small size might be just what you're looking for).

*It's made from some sort of resin or plastic, and it feels like it would be easy to break.

*It does NOT come with an adapter. You must use 2 AA batteries (which other reviewers have said only last a day or so) or buy an adapter separately. I really can't imagine under what circumstances someone would only want to use a fountain for short periods of time, so not having a built-in or accompanying power supply is a clear sign of cheapness and that the product is not expected to last.

*Even if you do buy an adapter, you still won't be able to leave this fountain on all the time! On the underside, there is a warning label that says to not leave the fountain on continuously for more than 72 hours to avoid pump damage. But then how long do I have to turn it off before turning it back on?

*There is not a mechanism to protect the pump if the fountain runs dry. You'll burn it out if it does.

*Though the illustration makes it look like it comes with a bounty of rocks, there are actually only 14 small rocks, and they do not cover the entire base.

*The fountain splashes a LOT, though you won't notice this at first. It was only after leaving it running a while that I realized everything within a foot or so was wet. If you hold your hand near the fountain for a several seconds, you will discover that it spews out fine droplets constantly.

*The pump is louder than the water. It makes a constant, low buzzing sound. It's not awful, but it definitely detracts from the tranquility of the fountain.



On the plus side, it actually is a very pretty piece. I got it from my severely romance-impaired husband, so I was thrilled. I really wish that the manufacturer had made this a more substantial, well-engineered product.



Should you buy it? Certainly not at this price, and not if you can find something better. But if you are desperate to get your woman something romantic and you find it for, say, under $10, go for it.

I ordered this for myself because it looked so beautiful in the pictures. When i got it, i had to assemble numerous pieces and it didn't seem to fit together well at all. I thought maybe i just needed to put the water in to make it more sturdy, boy was i wrong! Once i got it "working" it was really hard to keep the water from splashing out, because of the flimsy plastic design. The flowers are literally on 3 plastic stilts that are suppose to hold it up with hardly any anchors. I would not recommend this product to anyone, i am actually sorry that i bought it. You would be better off purchasing one of the better built homedics fountains.
