absolutely incredible and well worth it. being able to track my cats intake has been huge for my anxiety!!! super easy to put together and use, the filters last 14 days for me. you can pick between a continuous water flow or you can change it to timed increments! i would definitely recommend for those nervous nelly cat owners, as well as those with kitties who don’t want water
Our unit has been working non-stop for 3 years with no motor issues. The only issues are: 1. me (discipline needed to clean it), 2. hard water, 3. the 2 cats that use it.😅 So take a close look at my pic because this is what it will look like after 3 years with average cleaning.It's a lot like having a fish aquarium to clean. You'll want gloves and a soft sponge to clean it. You definitely must change the filter every 2 weeks, even if you can't do the thorough scrub. My cats will stop using it if I don't change the filter.About the water and hard water deposits.... I only put filtered water from the fridge in this (and I change the fridge filter regularly). We have hard water where I live. The edges of the stainless piece and the plastic tub have become covered in water deposits that I can no longer remove. I have put it in the top rack of the dishwasher without problem but it doesn't help with the scale. I've tried vinegar, blue Dawn soap, a sponge, it won't come off. I'd give this unit 5 stars if somebody could tell me how to eliminate this permanent staining/scale with something that will be safe for my cats. But I dislike it's appearance with the edge staining and stuck on debris.My cats have never gotten feline acne from this despite the plastic parts. They both like it. My cats are long-haired so long hair gets stuck on the edges of it. One cat tries to stand in it if I put it on the ground, but if I put it up on a countertop he does not. I do notice that the cats tend to drink from it right after I refill it and I'm not sure why - maybe they like the cold temp of the fresh water? Maybe it needed a refresh?Petlibro seems to be dominating the pet water fountain market and I would buy from them again. I like the filters I buy from them and they are easy to order. I would like an all stainless model - but only if somebody could prove to me that the stainless would stay cleaner than this model. But the one stainless piece in mine is just as bad as the plastic pieces.
My cat wouldn’t use it because the top tray is metal . Luckily I had a white one on hand. The machine works well
My cats are obsessed with this fountain! The stainless steel construction is easy to clean and looks sleek on the counter. The water flow is just right—gentle and quiet—encouraging them to drink more. I also love that it has a filtration system to keep the water fresh longer.
I’ve had this water fountain for almost a year now and I love it! My cats drink several ounces more water per day which is fantastic since my older boy was diagnosed with stage one kidney disease and needs all the water I can make him drink. I’ll be purchasing another fountain to have in a different part of the house.The one thing I don’t like it how often my longer hair cats fur gets stuck in the filter. I brush her every day and have placed the fountain in a spot away from where dust usually settles but I have to rinse out the filter every three days just to get the hair out. Still worth it for me but I wonder if others struggle with this?
