When I bought this, I was fascinated by the idea of the lighted fountain. That does work. What doesn't work is the water fountain; if you set it too low then you get very little movement and when it is set up higher water splashes everywhere until it settles down. I made the mistake of setting it too close to the lamp shade and somehow it drizzled all over it. Now I have a ruined ... lamp shade and the waterfall fountain is awaiting the next garage sale. There are much better fountains out there. This is not one of them

I bought this for my mother, she loved it. It was just the cure to help her relax. The sound of water is amazing and there has not been one problem with it. Go get one!

I needed a source of humidity in my office (Salt Lake City is in a desert). I was not prepared for the attractiveness of this fountain! The design is simple and very pleasant. The light moves, diffracted by the falling water. The sound of the falling water is not as noisy as some fountains, and is very soothing. It is not difficult for me to maintain; I shut off the fountain when I leave each day, and I use only distilled water, to avoid mineral buildup. I've had many compliments, unusual in an office where so many have desk fountains!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my fiance a few years past. This beautiful and soothing fountain appealed to me primarily because of its simple design and its striking curvilinear design. For the tranquil water cascading down its rippled wall, and its elegant design I give this fountain a five star rating.

It is the most relaxing of all fountains around. You can leave it on as a night lite as well(just don't let it run dry). It would take more than a night to run the thing dry, so use it to light your way and listen to it to fall asleep. It is even better than those sound machines. It is a wonderful product, better than the cheap models...Worth it, if you want a good nights sleep or just a relaxing sound to read a book by.

Alas, we had lots of problems with ours. It's attractive, but the water has to be refilled every day or two, particularly if you use the light. Unless you have very soft water, you'll find yourself cleaning out calcium deposits (just a fact of life). The light went out after about 3 months. After 6 months, when we went away for a weekend, the basin went dry, the pump went out, and we never bothered to replace it. Sure, we should have remembered to turn it off but I think the same thing will happen to lots of people.

Pluses - attractive and soothing

Minuses - high maintenance and questionable reliability

I've had this fountain for at least ten years, and I love it. I've never had any problem with it, though it does take periodic maintenance -- just basic cleaning (including taking apart the pump) to keep calcium deposits down. I've also used a "foam-be-gone" type fountain solution on occasion. You have to be willing to always have distilled water around; and I've had to replace the light every so often. But I really have found this to be perfect for all these years, as far as the sound and the look, the humidifying and relaxation aspects of it. I am writing this now because I'm looking for another of the same. Homedics has different models out now -- I don't know that I can get this one anymore except used. The new model most similar to this now has an LED light, not a halogen as in this model. What has now happened to mine, after ten years, and why I'm having to look for a new one, is that moisture got inside the glass bell enclosing the light and has corroded the tiny metal pin-holes for the light bulb, and the rubber around them. One with an LED light might be a good idea.

This product is great! Sitting at home in a quiet house and hearing the waterfall is very relaxing. At night the illumination is gorgeous and always gets a nice comment from people who have never seen one. I enjoy falling asleep to the sounds that the waterfall makes. I love it!

When I first opened the box I wasn't so sure I would like it. It did not look that impressive. It was extremely easy to put together and so I put it on the table top in our bedroom and turned it on. It was awesome! We had a lot of compliments on it. The sound of the water was a little too loud next to our bed so we gave it as a gift to someone else. She loves the sound of the water and falls to sleep to it every night.

While the idea behind this product is ingenious, its implementation was very disappointing. After owning several aquatic sculptures hand crafted in the USA by MIDWEST TROPICAL, I decided to buy the Homedics desk top waterfall as a gift. It really did not live up to any of our expectations. Not only was it smaller than I had expected, its quality reflected it as a hastily made piece of (...) junk. After poor customer service, numerous problems, and no assistance after the ninety-day warranty we had to trash the unit after four months. While the idea of aquatic sculptures is a truly great one, I find Homedics' interpretation of MIDWEST TROPICAL's products crude and cheap. If you're looking for a piece of aquatic artwork, go to the people who invented the idea of indoor water products, Midwest Tropical. MIDWEST TROPICAL's designs are exceptional, staff gracious, and most importantly their quality is second to none. (...)
