The filter needs to be replaced once a month (at least at my house, where the well water has a lot of sediment) and that might get pricy. It is easy to clean, and that is a big bonus. One star taken off because while it hold 50 some odd ounces, if it gets down a third the pump will not move water, so it needs to be refilled more frequently than I had expected. It is not as much of a fountain as some of the other styles (the water runs down a trough into bowl) but the cats don't seem to want to play in it quite as much. Some drink the flowing water, and somedrink in the "quiet " part of the bowl. The parts go together easily, and the cats took to it quickly.
While not as pretty, it is more practical, as it will not break if knocked around. I had ordered the ceramic fountain, but got the stainless instead as the ceramic one was back ordered. She loves drinking right out of the fountain, but she also likes licking the water right off the incline as well. Zoe immediately took the fountain (though she played with it a lot in the first few days, that calmed once she got used to it and there are no more puddles on the floor!). That said, the steel fountain looks really slick on my bamboo floors. I was really attracted to the black ceramic fountain, and probably would have gotten that one if it wasn't back ordered. It's about the same cost as all the other kitty fountains out there, but I feel it is hands down the prettiest out there. It's not at all sensible to keep the taps running all day for her, so this was a fantastic buy! Ad this to the fact that Zoe would literally LEAP the moment any faucet would turn on, I was very concerned about her being at risk for a urinary infection. I was getting really worried about my cat, Zoe, as her water bowl did not appear to be getting any action. There is one suggestion I do have, however, when you're preparing this. Willie does not hear well anymore but if he did, I don't think the pump noise would concern him. He seems to prefer the water at the source where it bubbles up or as it runs down the little ramp toward the bowl. It took some time for him to figure out that the object on the floor was for him, that it was a source of water, and that there is more than one way to capture his drink. Since I'm not watching him every minute, a few kitty licks could go unnoticed. It's been operational for 10 days and I've seen him actually enjoy a refreshing drink from it twice. Because he should drink as much water as he can and loves it from the faucet, I thought this would be the perfect solution. He is unbelievably healthy for his age but does have CRF. I purchased this fountain for my cat, Willie, who is going to be 20 years old this month. This review is from: Pioneer Pet Stainless Steel Fountain Raindrop Design (Misc.)
