Easy to set up. Filter works perfectly. Not too noisy either. Our cats love it

Only noisy if set to max water speed but even then u didn't let it cycle I just turned the speed down a bit and it's very quiet & relaxing. 4 stars as the lid doesn't quite click down to be sturdy

I've been looking for a fountain for my cat for some time. As I'm unsure whether or not she will go for the idea of a fountain or not, I've struggled to commit to buying one as I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that she will not use. Then I saw this - a little small, perhaps - but the price point was OK, and if my cat liked it, then I could always look at a bigger one in future. I got home, got everything set up, and plugged it in. I immediately unplugged it, as the noise it made had me questioning whether it was faulty. No cat would go near something that makes this sound, surely? I checked everything was set up correctly, and added some more water as it wasn't quite at the "max" level - and I tried again. No joy. Just a constant, infuriating noise. On the plus side - I think this will have put my cat off going anywhere near any fountains for her whole life, so at least this element of the situation has been satiated.
