3.0 out of 5 stars Durable, but with shortcomings., May 16, 2010

I had this fountain for approximately 4 years, and it worked well that entire time. The motor never burnt out, and it never had any major operational problems. A few things to know:

1. The bells rust. They will not be that nice brass color for long.

2. The plastic bowl is even more plastic in person. It's a soft plastic, seeming cheap if you touch it or get too close. It will deform as you pick it up.

3. The bells are loud. Personally, I had to muffle the bell sounds with cork.

4. There will probably only be one or two of the internal bells that will actually get struck. By the nature of water flows, expect to hear the same bell over and over.

5. The fountain needs to be cleaned regularly. While this might seem self-evident, gunk builds up quickly.

6. Floating bells flip, get stuck, and otherwise need to be watched after every now and then.

Overall, while I was slightly underwhelmed with certain details of implementation, I didn't regret my purchase either. It worked without complaint 24/7, for many years. It did a better job of hydrating the air than some other fountains or hydrators. But it is big and bulky, and isn't quite as nice as you would think.

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry but I would not recommend this product... It looked like a great deal in the picture but when it arrives, the black plastic bowl is very cheap looking as is the fountain spout and contraption that holds the bells. I tried to cover up the bare plastic bottom with some some glass pebbles but the motor of the pump was not strong enough to push the water over a textured surface so I had to remove them. Well, in the end, even with regular cleaning (every 4-6 weeks) the motor was not strong enough to last and burnt out. Next time I will shop around more for a better product- Z Gallerie has some nice fountains for $50 too and they have a ceramic bowl!

The nice thing is that for the time while it lasted, the chiming bells were very melodius. Too bad it wasn't long lived...

great product, very reasonable price and quick delivery.

I had seen the water bells in an office and liked them.

I did a google search and found Amazon sold a product. I looked it up and it looked like what I had seen and ordered them. It looks and sounds like the first ones I had seen and I have enjoyed them at home.
