Did not work. Only had a small 1/2″ stream of water.

Good price. Easy assembly. Good solar panels. Poor design. The weight of the motor under the fountain makes the solar plate tip over and stop working. No matter how I re-set it. Also the suction cups will not stick to a resin or ceramic fountain. Only to metal or glass. My work-around was to lay a clothespin underneath the solar plate so the fountain stays stable.

I loved the idea of solar power. The fountain arrived in good shape but directions were sketchy. We figured it out by researching on line. The fountain never worked at all. Different fountain heads made no difference. The pump itself was apparently defective. I am an invalid and sit and sleep by my huge windows around the clock. I have multiple bird and squirrel feeders; hummingbird feeders and birdbaths. I have very disappointed that my little fountain did not work. My housekeeper returned it for a refund.

Purchased another one. This one was “on sale”. I thought it’s getting to end of season and maybe it’s a type of clearance. Wrong. It’s like buying at a 2nd hand store. Some parts are missing. No integrity towards customers. I didn’t contact seller. The 4 ‘arms’ that keep the disc in the center of the bath are not in the box. I’ll never buy certain items from online again. My list grows bigger by the month. I don’t have to buy from Walmart, I choose to. I need to be more disciplined and support my locals more often anyway. Maybe Walmart will have higher standards again if people will take time to respond to reviews. The first one I bought worked great for a couple months then it wouldn’t bubble anymore in the birdbath. I had cleaned it several times previously. It just quit working one day and I couldn’t begin to guess why. It was nice while it lasted but made no difference to the birds. They use the birdbath without the fountain pump the same as with it. I’m guessing it’s a feature more for the human than the animal.

Works so far, but requires supervision if I want it to have any longevity. Interesting little thing, It pumps up a 8″ to 12″ fountain in direct sunlight. The height of the water is not adjustable even with the variety of spouts, they don’t seem to lower the height, just adjust the shape of the fountain. Slightest breeze helps the fountain empty my birdbath of water, which is kind of funny to watch, but also limits being able to use it because it has to be “babysat”. It has to have water to pump or the motor will burn out, so if it empties the birdbath, that would happen.

its a cool little device that keeps the water circulating. It was smaller than I expected but works ok.

Worked for about 2 days then quit. Had to be in full sun for long period of time. Nice when it worked but totally dependent on strong sun and lots of water!

Instructions are not clear. The pump itself can either be suction cupped to the bottom with a tube (not supplied) leading to the fountain intake, which will not allow the fountain to float freely; OR the pump can be attached to the bottom of the solar disc, allowing the fountain to float freely. The kit did arrive in a timely manner, pretty much when originally estimated.

Was disappointed in the size of the product
