My husband bought this for me for my birthday recently. While it is very attractive, and the birds seem to like it... we are both disappointed that you only get 2-3 hours of "fountain time", even on a bright, sunny day. The ad says it needs direct sunlight, and it means DIRECT. The sun has to be directly overhead for the fountain to work. And this takes place for no more than a few hours a day. Also, it already has a crack in it, after only just a few days. (have no idea how it happened) And when you go to empty the dirty water out, it collects in the rim and it is almost impossible to empty it completely. For $200, I would have expected more. I really felt more sorry for my husband, because he was trying to buy the very best for me. Overall, I think this product needs improvement or the price needs to be lowered substantially. It is not worth the money he paid for it. I would not recommend it.
Dec.2009-update: This fountain quit working completely after only 1 season of use! I am very meticulous about how I care for things, so it was not due to any neglect on my part. This is just a very poor quality product... period. I do NOT recommend it for anyone.

I am in complete agreement with the woman who wrote the previuos review. In addition to the disappointing 2 - 3 hours of fountain time, the seal between the bowl and the base of the fountain broke shortly after I purchased it. This product is definitely not worth the money.
