This water dish is almost next to impossible to fill up without spilling water all over the floor. I have tried several different ways to fill it up and they have all failed to keep the floor from getting wet. Imagine taking a full 1 liter bottle of water and attempting to place it upside down into a hole the size of the neck of the bottle without spilling it. Even if you use your finger to cover the opening you will eventually have to move it out of the way and the funnel area cannot funnel it away fast enough. The plug-in for the pump is right where the water can cascade over it too. The casing is formed out of two pieces of plastic and there is no seal between them so if you overfill the pump canister it will leak out onto the floor. The pump was quiet at first but now it is getting louder. The pump is nothing but a fish tank pump. This is very much a gimmick product. Update 19 Feb 2004: shortly after writing this review the pump failed completely. This item now sits broken in it's original box in my attic.

The cats loved it. But the pump stopped working six weeks after purchase. The box was recycled during the holidays so now I'm stuck with an expensive water bowl that I cannot return. Ouch.

These 2 bad reviews do not surprise me. As with other Lentek product, this does not work well. Noisy. Poorly made. Also, their customer service is a joke.

Well, once you mastered the art of getting the water bottle into the funnel without spilling it, the next obstacle is getting the funnel attached to the body. The key is attaching the bottle to the funnel while the bottle is upright. Then invert the bottle and attached funnl over the opening. Sounds difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it's simple. I have 4 cats, I was doing this daily. It's not a bad product, just involves a little dexterity. Maybe not worth 55.00, but then, what is? I loved mine. And the humor of watching your pet drinking out of their own toilet....
