Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I already owned the Lotus Pet Fountain by the same company, but I thought I would give this model a chance, and I’m very glad I did. It’s just as quiet, so quiet that you really wouldn’t realise it’s there apart from the occasional whisper-quiet sound of water hitting the stainless steel tray. Design-wise, it’s an improvement in every way. Whereas in the reservoir of the other model, small insects would drown or pet hairs would gather, with this model, almost all of the water is “hidden” underneath the stainless steel tray, which means that my cat can only get to the freshest water at all times, and there’s nowhere for dust or insects to gather. There’s a handy gauge on the side of the fountain to keep you aware of how much water is left, and refilling is as simple as just gently pouring a jug of water onto the stainless steel tray and letting it filter through (or taking off the tray). Speaking of filters, you get three included with the fountain, which should last you a few months, and you also get a couple of brushes for any necessary cleaning. Although the instructions that come with the fountain say that there is a switch to turn the LED light on and off, there actually isn’t, so there is a constant blue illumination to the water, but it’s really not intrusive at all and actually makes it easier to gauge the water level anyway. In terms of your pets adapting to the fountain: my cat gave the usual wails of protest he always gives every time some tiny little detail in his life changes, but within a couple of hours he was already drinking from the new fountain, and now I have the peace of mind that his water is always fresh and clean. At the current price this is going for, there is really no downside to this product.
