Rival Beverage Fountain is so AWESOME! It's so ELEGANT & what a conversation centerpiece., March 22, 2007
This review is from: Rival BF150 3 Gallon Beverage Fountain (Kitchen)
I can't rave enough about this beautiful Rival Fountain! I got it for my son's wedding shower, then the wedding, & then used it 2 months after for my 11 yr old's birthday party too!
We used it at the wedding reception for sweet tea of all things! It kept it elegant & easy to serve. Even with the brown tea color it was still beautifully illuminated & very elegant. It was elegant enough to use at the wedding reception ~ we just encircled the base with floral garland!
Made serving the guests MUCH easier!
I also used it 2 months later for my daughter's 11th birthday hawaiian themed party! Look below for the non alcohol Koolaid / pineapple juice fruit punch recipe! It kept the kid's coming back for more drinks! They felt like little grownups & it made my birthday girl feel so special having the beverage fountain on display for her birthday. A HUGE hit with the kids! I can see myself using this for years!
I got a HUGE discount shopping for it on Amazon.com - I got it for a third of the original store price! yeah me!
Kid's party / or non alcohol Koolaid punch recipe:
a day or two before the party you can mix 3 seperate gallons of koolaid up.( Use your old milk jugs if you have to)
the Koolaid recipe calls for 1 packet unmixed koolaid powder along with 1 cup sugar. BUT ~
(* for less sugar substitute 1 cup splenda instead of the 1 c sugar per packet it normally calls for* )! Set aside at least 3 premixed Koolaids in gallon containers put in fridge to chill.
When ready to serve, the day of the party pour 2 of the pre-chilled koolaid gallons into fountain, then turn fountain on. As it goes up the tube, start to add 1 full can Pineapple juice (it's about 42 oz or something like that) & then add 1 litre of gingeraile (that's half of a 2 litre bottle). The kids liked to substitute half or the recipe's amount of pineapple juice as we mixed more of it, because they said the juice was so tangy & sweet they like the koolaid taste better. But you can adjust the koolaid to juice ratio as needed, & add only 1 litre of gingeraile to the 2 gallons of koolaid, because adding any more soda in one & it will bubble up too much & could kill the motor. Keep adding gallon of koolaid, juice & soda as needed. Toss leftovers or chill & use day after.
Kids can be a bit messy so might want to put an absorbant layer of tablecloth under the fountain.

Party Pleaser!, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Rival BF150 3 Gallon Beverage Fountain (Kitchen)
Bought this fountain after I had borrowed one for a New Years Eve Party. This one was even better than the one I borrowed! Very sturdy, quiet, and easy to put together and clean. The light in the middle makes this a great eye catcher, I kept getting compliments on it all night! This is a great product at a great price. Shipping was fast too!

Party Fountain, July 2, 2007
This review is from: Rival BF150 3 Gallon Beverage Fountain (Kitchen)
I recieved my fountain and was very impressed with the look of it. It functions well and is very pretty all lit up with the punch running through it. It is a "big" hit with the kids. However, I ordered the 3 gallon, my invoice said 3 gallon but when I recieved it it is only a 2.5 gallon with a maximum of 1.5 gallon in the fountain at a time. I was very disappointed in that. That is false advertising in my opinion. The whole point was to not to have to have someone standing pouring punch for people.
