This is a very nice fountain for a small water feature or pond for keeping water fresh and aeriated for bird baths and other wildlife like butterflies, dragonflies, etc. ... with no electrical cord or outlet needed!Please keep in mind that it needs good sunlight to work to it's fullest pumping capabilities. It will continue to work to a diminished degree if it becomes shaded during the course of the day, but don't expect it to spray as high as it is capable of doing under direct sun when it is very cloudy or in shaded conditions. That said, this new model works much better in the shade than my older model. You also should be careful that it's not emptying your water reservoir if it isn't centered so as to not spray water outside the bowl or pond ... especially if the wind picks up and blows the spray in directions you didn't anticipate. On this new fountain I'm using the included plastic "bumpers", on my old one I use rocks to keep it from drifting in the bowl. You will also have to play with the eight or so fountain heads to see which you like the best, as well as which heads don't spray water out of your reservoir and empty your water! Also, remember to check your water level in your reservoir on a regular basis, keep it free of leaves, etc., and occasionally clean the little fiber filter which only takes a moment to clean. Other that that this is a very dependable little "work horse" for a very reasonable price!I have an older day & night version of this fountain with LED lights and separate power bank and a sensor that lights up and sprays after dark that is still working very well after more than a year and a half, (see the ground level red/blue/green/yellow bird bath in the background). This particular new version is only a daytime version w/o the LED lights, (the copper/green raised bird bath in the foreground), but I like it quite well and it does work better in the shade than the older model. I see that they also still offer the day/night LED lighted version, so it's just a matter of preference and a bit difference in price.I included a short 8 second video of what to expect if your fountain becomes shaded during the day from clouds or from shading from a fence or tree blocking the sun at different times of day/season. That doesn't mean it's broken, just not getting full sun ... assuming the filter is not blocked, of course.I think you'll really enjoy this little fountain. I know my cardinals, blue jays, wrens and dragonflies do, as I can watch them throughout the day while they are drawn to and visiting my bird baths! ; -)

This pond fountain worked well right out of the box! The only improvement I would suggest is if it had a battery component so that it could run in the dark. Great price for the value.

As you can see in my video, my shadow even causes it to not work at full strength. So I wished they could come up with something that would allow it to work in the shade. Because I don't want to put my birdbath directly in the brightest and hottest part of my yard. I wanted to put it in a flower garden that I have made for birds and butterflies which I purposely created to get only morning sun and not the hot afternoon sun. A place the birds can cool off in the shade and have a water source. But I cant put it there because the fountain doesn't work at all in that particular flowerbed. So it kind of defeated the whole purpose of getting it. In order for it to work, I had to move it to another flowerbed that is in the direct afternoon hot sun. The birdbath is small and shallow so when the fountain is working at full strength, the water sprays out of the birdbath which quickly empties it of water. So it will only work about 45 minutes max before the water is completely emptied out. This of course isn't an issue with the fountain but with my birdbath. Otherwise this is really a cute fountain and I like that it comes with different spouts so you can change out the waterfall style. It also floats around a lot and doesn't stay in the middle of the birdbath. Although it comes with these plastic straws to use as "arms" to keep it from moving, they don't help at all. I ended up having to put a rock on each one of the arms to keep it from moving. But by doing this means that my birdbath holds even LESS water than it normally does because of the rocks taking up space.

The media could not be loaded. Great little fountain! Only works when the sun hits the panels. The power of the fountain depends on how much direct sunlight hits the panels. If it’s cloudy , the fountain just squirts out a small stream periodically.For the price , and the fact it’s powered by the sun, it is definitely a 5 star for me.

Works as it should. A few time if have let my bird bath run dry and I thought it would have burnt out the motor. But it still works. It’s not very well life . Once the sun goes down it will shut off.
