Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Oh my goodness, I wish I had ordered this fountain long long ago. I have been using a PetSafe Drinkwell Stainless Multi-Pet Fountain for the past three years. It was large enough but always a major pain to clean. So many pieces, ugh! I put it all (except the motor) in the dishwasher but it was still a real pain rinsing and brushing out the motor and since I have six furbabies in my home, cleaning it was a weekly chore. This fountain has been the much needed relief I have been longing for. I wasn't sure about it and wouldn't order it for the longest time because it didn't have multiple spouts for the water to rain down like the 360 did but I finally gave in and decided to give it a try. There are half as many parts to clean in this Big Max fountain as there are with the 360 and the bowl is much easier to clean as well. I spend so much less time cleaning and what's better is that I do not have to clean it as often. I have been using it for over a week and the water still looks clean with very little hair floating in it and no slimy residue (yuck). With the 360 I had to clean it every week and the water would be hairy and slimy every time. It really needed to be cleaned probably every five days but it was such a pain. I am so proud of this fountain and highly recommend it to all pet parents. Especially if you are wanting something easy to clean. My furbabies took right to it too. Maybe because they were already used to something similar? If your babies are not used to something like this it might be best to leave their bowl or fountain out while you transition them to this one. That way you make sure they are getting the hydration they need. I am including a video showing the different pieces of the fountain. In the video I mention that you will need to clean the motor weekly. I am so used to cleaning a fountain weekly due to my 360 that I said that without thinking. It is probably not a bad idea to clean it weekly though, especially if you have a lot of furbabies using it like I do. Just be sure to clean the motor each time you clean the fountain to preserve the life of the motor. Also I recommend buying those fuzzy craft sticks that look like pipe cleaners (I get the white ones). I cut them in half and use them to clean the really tight areas of the motor that nothing else seems to be able to get into, especially the center of the impeller. One final note. When I cleaned this fountain it took me about 12 minutes from beginning to end, whereas the 360 always took me about 30 minutes.
