iPettie Cat Water Fountain Stainless Steel, 84oz/2.5L, 4-Stage Filtration, Ultra Quiet Metal Cat Water Fountain with LED Light & Filter for Pet, Kitty & Dog

Absolutely love it.. it’s great quality and you hardly hear it. I’m glad I found a fountain that mostly stainless steel to deter bacteria. You can throw it in the dish washer. The pump comes apart for cleaning. There was one review that has some outrages stuff growing out of it but they did NOT clean it properly. I’ve had this for about a year and half and still works great. I like that it has different options for the fountain, you can take the flower out and just have a bubble fountain. (My cat is scared of the flower) but he loves it. I also like how there is a thin blue light ring around the top. Perfect fountain and def recommend !

We have had 2 of these fountains for just shy of a year and they are both still working great! The stainless steel top part's rim very quickly started looking scratched or like something was peeling off. Neither is true though. I tried everything to get it clean, but nothing will. It does not effect the fountain's use however and the cat doesn't drink from that part, so I can only say that it's a con, if you want it to be perfect. The inside and outside of the bottom where the water is held and the flat part where the cat drinks is pristine and as shiny as the day we got it. When you are cleaning the motor, take the entire thing apart. The side where the little door opens is the side that pops off. I use a sharp knife to stick down in each side to pry it up a bit to pop it off. Then I use the circle end of the brush to hook the impeller the take it out and clean it good. The little brush fits into every single part of the motor and entire unit. If your brush doesn't fit into the motor, it isn't taken apart fully. Be sure to clean your fountain well. It gets slimy in the plastic parts especially and no one wants their cat drinking water that slime is! If you clean it and keep it full enough not to burn your motor out, this will be a decent fountain for you. I have had many cat fountains. This one is by far the easiest to clean and put back together quickly. Also, it isn't noisy unless you don't have the parts clicked in or tightened correctly or sometimes when the water gets low. That being said, check the water often. Ours has gotten low many times without any warning. All in all, it does what it's supposed to and our cats love it.

Splendid look, sound and our cats love this

We've had this cat fountain for almost 2 yrs and it's still working great. We have 2 cats, 1 with long hair. We tried several water bowls & fountains before this one. (1) Water pump is quietest I've ever found, on any product with a pump. I'm about 4 ft from it now and if I listen, I can (maybe) hear the water softly falling but zero pump noise. I'm sensitive to noise so I love this technical achievement! (2) It's a good size so we don't have to fill it as often. The perforated steel cover reduces evaporation too. We have a ceramic fountain of similar size that doesn't cover the water reservoir and we notice the difference in water loss to the air. (3) The water reservoir is deep, which means the pump stays covered in water longer and is therefore less likely to run dry, preventing unnecessary wear and tear. Our ceramic cat fountain is wider and shallower so we need to add water more frequently to keep the pump covered in water and the fountain operating. For this fountain, add water when you notice the water streams have narrowed. (4) Stainless steel is definitely better at minimizing bacteria, mold, and other germs. I was reluctant to switch from a plastic fountain mostly because of cost, but the price of this one is excellent! Even though we washed the old plastic one frequently with soap and water, one of our cats started to develop dark spots under her chin which was cat acne. It can be caused by bacteria on plastic water bowls, even if the water is being circulated. The acne occurred more frequently as the plastic fountain got older (perhaps its surface got more nicked with time and created tiny places where bacteria grew more easily?). We haven't had that issue with the stainless steel (or ceramic) fountains. (5) I think cat hair is an issue in all water bowls and fountains. This fountain does the best job of keeping water flowing! The water in a fountain we used to have would stop flowing because cat hair easily blocked the uptake holes. It's true that doing a full cleaning on this one takes a bit of time but it's worth it, and actually more convenient imo than having to wipe uptake holes every day or two. I took it all apart two nights ago, washed very piece with soap and water, even used an old toothbrush to clean the crevices on the underside of the flower piece and was done in 15 minutes or so, including reassembly. I admit not every wash is that complete but that's how long a deep clean took. It's really not bad, especially if my partner & I take turns. (6) Assembly: It may seem complicated but the multiple filters on this fountain are worth it! There are no screws or latches. As long as the pieces are in the right bottom-to-top order and pieces with notches are lined up, it all goes together with just a half-turn here and there. Suggestion: snap a couple pics as you take it apart so you'll feel more confident when putting it back together. (7) Our cats are like the cats in research studies: they drink more water more often when the water is moving than they do from bowls of still water, regardless of how fresh the water in the bowl is. (8) Bonus advice: Avoid moving the fountain when it's full of water. Place it where it belongs and then fill it. Pour out the current water before picking it up. ;-) It's also lighter that way.

Neat little machine, works great so far, extremely quiet, in fact all you hear is the gurgling of the water. For some reason the underside of the bowl gets wet and has to be dried at least once a day. I placed a towel underneath it to keep the floor dry. There is no leak. It seems to be condensation or my cat is aggressive. Either way, I would buy it again.
