3 out of 5 stars Love it, but not perfect at all   July 24, 2008
Estelle Weyl (San Francisco)
I love this fountain, but it has 3 major drawbacks:

1) The top section, or ewer, is made of a different material than the rest of the fountain, so it doesn't match. Its made of smoother, darker clay.


2) This does NOT come with an AC power pack, so can only be functional when the sun is shining.

3) The chord is about 8 feet long, so it's too short to have the fountain at a nice location and the solar panel hidden in a sunny area, like your roof.

Otherwise, it makes a soothing amount of noise, is pretty and is fairly stable. Very easy to put together. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get an AC power adapter for it (weird connector), so it's useless a lot of the time.



4 out of 5 stars Did not receive product as described   July 3, 2008
Julia A. Striblin
Generally, I like this product. It arrived very promptly and was easy to assemble. It did NOT however, come equipped with the AC adapter which, based upon the other reviews, I had decided on this particular item. I contacted the company that shipped the fountain and they have indicated that the missing adapter will be sent to me. We'll see. Very disappointing, however.


4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, large, solar? Not so much...   April 23, 2008

Be advised, this fountain doesn't have a solar collecting panel, just a direct sunlight panel that powers it...that means no fountain on cloudy days or nighttime. If the sun comes and goes, you get a gurgle. I just gave up on the panel and plugged it in. It's wonderfully large, easy to maintain and everyone loves it. Very soothing at the end of a hard day.

Neat fountain; but,forget solar power in Maine. Well packaged, fast delivery. Really improved by placing in terra cotta colored plastic dish for monster plant pot. Fill dish with white marble chips.
