"I've had this fountain for over a year and it's been easy to maintain, simple to clean in the dishwasher, and very quiet. With multiple cats, the large capacity means I only refill it every week or two. The only minor issue is the pump’s suction cups could be stronger. Overall, it's a 10/10 and highly recommended—I’ll definitely get a replacement pump if needed."

"Customer service really impressed me by helping resolve a mildew issue and even replacing my fountain. The unit is silent, easy to assemble, and helps keep my cats from spilling water. With a simple filter swap and straightforward maintenance, it's a great fit for my six cats. The only concern is that stainless steel shouldn't mold, but I appreciate the support and the clean water supply."

"I chose this fountain after a lot of research and it’s been a game-changer for my pets' hydration. The stainless steel build is sturdy and hygienic, and the large 95oz capacity suits both my cats and dog. I love the quiet pump and easy cleaning—dishwasher safe parts make maintenance a breeze. It even comes with replacement filters and a silicone mat to keep things tidy. I’ve noticed my pets drink more, and my vet has seen positive changes. Highly recommended for any pet owner."

"I’m amazed at how completely silent this fountain is—unlike my old one, I can barely hear it even when I’m right next to it.

My cats were immediately interested, which is exactly what I hoped for!"

"I've owned this fountain for over a year and it's held up great—super easy to clean, fits in the dishwasher, and stays sparkling.

"This fountain is adorable and just the right size for both my chihuahua and cat—even my lab likes it. It was easy to assemble and works perfectly.

"I love how quiet this fountain is—the pump barely makes a sound, which is great for my sensitive cats. Cleaning is a breeze since it comes apart easily, and the water stays much cleaner than in their old bowl."

"This fountain is ideal for homes with multiple cats. The filters keep the water clear, and routine cleaning is super simple. Just make sure to keep the water filled to keep it running quietly."

"I've been using this fountain for over a year, and it's still running like new. What I appreciate most is that it's completely silent, exceptionally stable and easy to move. My foster cats all prefer this fountain over bowls, and the rechargeable battery means I can place it anywhere. With minimal maintenance—just topping up water every week or so and changing the filter while charging—it's perfect for my busy schedule. The stainless steel bowl is also a breeze to clean."

"As someone who has owned at least six different fountains, this is by far the best one I've ever had. Setup and cleaning are exceptionally easy—it takes just a few minutes to disassemble and wash all parts, even the pump. The super quiet operation didn't scare my shyest cat, and the thoughtful, corner-free design means no hard-to-reach spots for grime. I love the battery indicator and water level alert, which are really handy features. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again!"

"The ingenious cordless pump is a game-changer since cords in water fountains can get gross. The bubbling mode is impressively quiet. My only gripe is that the filter cover is tough to remove—I had to use a lot of force and worried about breaking it. Still, overall, it's a fantastic and thoughtfully designed product."

"After having cats for decades, I finally tried this fountain and it’s been a pleasant surprise. My cats started drinking from it right away and seem to be hydrating better, which makes me happy even if it means more frequent litter box cleaning. The unit is completely silent—no noise from the pump or water at all. I also appreciate the internal light and water level window, which make it easy to monitor and provide a nice gentle glow. Assembly and cleaning are straightforward, and after months of use, I haven’t had any issues with the pump motor. So far, I’m very satisfied and would recommend it to other cat owners."

"With six cats in the house, I now own four of these fountains and they’ve been a game changer. They’re easy to take apart and clean, especially the plastic basin and stainless steel drink tray. Operation is almost silent, and if I ever hear a trickle, a quick filter rinse solves it. I proactively swap the pumps every six months for peace of mind, but they haven’t failed on their own. No complicated nooks or crannies to scrub, just simple maintenance. For the price, it’s unbeatable—easily one of my best purchases for my cats."

"I think the fountain is adorable and my kitten took to it without hesitation, but there are a few things to remember. You really need to clean it every couple of weeks, especially the motor and filter, otherwise it gets grimy. Also, only one filter and sponge come with it, so I had to order more. It’s quiet, but if you forget to check the water level, the sound changes and the motor can run low. It’s not a set-and-forget solution, but it definitely beats the hassle of daily bowl washing and keeps my cat drinking more water."

"I've owned many cat fountains, but this one stands out for being extremely easy to set up and maintain. The quiet operation didn't scare my shy cat, and the disassembly and cleaning process is so quick—it only takes a few minutes. I especially appreciate the thoughtful, corner-free design and the completely removable pump. Even with three thirsty cats, it's a breeze to keep their water fresh. The battery indicator and water level alerts are very useful, especially since I don't always have an outlet nearby."

"As a foster parent for cats, I've tried more fountains than I can count, and this is by far my favorite. Silent operation, stability, and portability are huge pluses. I love that it's rechargeable and lasts weeks on a single charge. All the cats adjusted to it immediately, and some even refuse to drink from anything else. Maintenance is minimal—just topping up the water every week or so and changing the filter when I recharge it. The stainless steel bowl is way more hygienic than plastic. I do suggest using distilled water to avoid mineral buildup if you have hard tap water."

"I can't get over how intelligently this fountain is designed. Every piece comes apart—including the pump—so it's super easy to clean every nook and cranny. The magnet-based motor means no wires inside, and the locking mechanisms prevent spills when moving it. Plus, it's amazingly quiet. Whoever made this clearly knew what needed fixing in cat fountains, and they nailed it."

"I was looking for a compact and vertical cat fountain because my previous one was too low and not cat-friendly. This one is perfect—my cats took a few hours to adjust, but now they love it! The stainless steel top makes cleaning super easy and the bright LED is a nice touch. The only slight downside is the plastic bowl feels a bit thin and the filter placement could be better, but overall, it's a fantastic product for cat owners."

"Compared to my last fountain, this one is a huge upgrade. Assembly and cleaning are easy, especially with the included brushes. It's so quiet that I barely notice it—unless the water is low, then you get some gentle trickling sounds. The light-up design is adorable and looks pricier than it is. My only wish is for better filter design, but I can recommend this for anyone wanting a good value fountain."

"I’m impressed by how quiet and cute this fountain is—my cats enjoy it so much, I bought another for upstairs. Maintenance is a breeze, and the price is right. After months of use, I’ve had zero issues and friends I recommended it to are also happy. Highly recommend for multiple pet households!"
