Wonder Creature Cat Water Fountain Stainless Steel, 84oz/2.5L Automatic Pet Water Fountain with Water Level Window and LED Light for Water Shortage Alert

I usually don’t write reviews often, but I had to for this product. While on vacation two summers ago, my mom started turning on the faucet so that my cat, Thor, could drink from it because he would usually jump in the bathroom sink by one of his water bowls. She thought it was cute. When I returned home, he became addicted to it and I kept forgetting to go back into the bathroom to turn it off when he was finished drinking. So, I decided to look into fountains. I had one before with other cats, but it was years ago and it always made me nervous that something might happen if the water ran out and the pump overheated. So, I started searching around for fountains searching for one that possibly turned off automatically when the water ran out when I came across this one. The reviews sold me (other ones complained of bugs growing in the filters or just getting into the water tank altogether) but this one seemed perfect so I purchased it last February. My cat loves it and so do I. It’s very quiet, cute, has 2 different water spouts, allows my cat to drink at all angles, has a night light feature so that I can clearly see the water level at all times, and is very easy to take apart, clean, and fill! My cat drinks from it so much that I have to refill it about every 4 days and he does not have kidney disease, he just loves to hang out and drink the water. A few months ago, it started to slow down and sometimes would take a few seconds to start streaming water. I was concerned because my cat loves it so much that I didn't want him to go a day without it and I had heard that most fountains only last 6 months so I ordered a new one. The old one kept going, but I decided to put it away a month ago to use the new one. I left it in the box should the new one break before I could order another one. This time, the new one came with a year's warranty, which was impressive to me. A couple of weeks ago, I had a question about something so I reached out to Wonder Creature and I found out that all I have to do is use the brush that came with the fountain to clean the pump and the old one would be as good as new. He sent me the directions for cleaning the pump (the directions are also in the description on Amazon - they even have photos). I had no idea the little blue motor came apart!! I took it apart today and when I popped it out, the propeller had a bunch of stuff in it. I cleaned that with the brush attachment and snapped it all back together and it started streaming water just like the new one! Nice! Now, I have 2 fountains so I guess I can put the other one in a different spot in my home or give it to another lucky pet owner. That said... this is the perfect water found and is worth every penny. Heck, I would pay double the price for it! On another note... a friend was at my house earlier in the year and commented on how quiet the motor was... he said that his son's cat's water fountain was very noisy and he needed to get this one. Buy this fountain! You will be very glad that you did!!

Go ahead and get this fountain. I think you'll be very happy you did! (It may even save you some vet bills!) I'm so happy I purchased this water fountain! I got it because my cat would only drink from the toilet, never his water bowl, even if it meant going without water for days until he got sick from dehydration that he landed in the hospital on more than one occasion. So I was really hoping this fountain might entice him to drink instead. I couldn't tell if he was drinking from it for a few weeks because he'd never do so in front of me, so I set up his automatic feeder so it would take pictures whenever he came near the fountain, and I finally caught him drinking! (See picture.) I think he believed he was stealing from his sister (now passed – I miss her so much!), since he would never eat or drink near where I used to feed her. Now I can always tell that he's been drinking from the fountain because he gets droplets of water on his face. Busted! This unit is so quiet, and I was worried that the light would deter my cat, but he doesn't seem to mind it one but, and it makes a great little nightlight for me! This fountain wouldn't be good for dogs unless they're very small, but it's plenty big enough for my very large male cat. Putting the fountain together was a breeze, except I didn't know which way the filter should go in. Others answered this question in the Q&A section though – it goes on with the flat/smooth side down. At first I thought cleaning it would be complicated, especially when it came to cleaning inside the pump, but I figured out from YouTube that it's much less complicated than I thought it would be. Now it's a breeze to clean the fountain! Basically, if it looks like it can come apart or fit together, just give it a try. (I use the tips of scissors to gently pull the little propellor from the inside of the pump.) It will only fit back together one way, which is pretty easy to figure out, so don't be afraid to wing it. If it fits and runs, you did it right. I was worried about getting the power cable in and out through that small tube along the back of the inside of the fountain and then cleaning out the filter itself, but even that's much easier than I expected. I just use the the tip of a knife to pop out the tiny rubber cover at the top of the tube the cable rubs through and the USB cable slides right through it as you pull out the pump. (Just be sure to keep track of the little rubber piece.) Then the filter comes apart very easily and fits back together just as easily. I use a toothbrush (used only for this purpose) to clean this and all the other parts. Don't forget to clean the part of the cable that gets in the fountain water, as that gets residue buildup on it too. If you're still trying to decide which fountain to get, I highly recommend this one! UPDATE Customer service is top notch! After using the fountain go four months the pump stopped working and the light would just flash blue. I emailed them at [email protected] and they replied within two hours saying if it's flashing red, the pump probably died, but if it's flashing blue it may just need to be cleaned. I do clean it often (and you really should too), but figured it couldn't hurt to do it again. (They attached some pictures which I'm adding here.) Sure enough, I think maybe taking it apart and putting it back together was all it needed. Today, at eleven months, the pump died again but this time it was flashing red, so I emailed asking the best place to get a new pump. They again replied super quick (on a Sunday!) and a new pump is already on the way!

Our cats do great with this fountain and drink more water with it than with a bowl. Plus it's great for out-of-town trips because they still get fresh water. Our first one lasted for about 3 years (and through an interstate move), which is pretty good given the price. We liked it enough we bought the exact same kind again when we needed a replacement. After 10 months, the power brick failed (we tried it in other outlets, with other USB-C cords, etc.). I contacted the seller and they were SO helpful and sent us a replacement part right away. Highly recommend.

I've been using different types of water bowls for years and there was always some type of problem. They got slimy on the bottom, cat food always got in it, whatever gimmick claimed to make it special or different failed to actually make it so. So it was time for a change. This fountain caught my eye for many reasons and I was not dissapointed upon its arrival. It was simple to put together, I was pleased with the size, the flower attachments are a cute little bonus, and I was also pleasantly suprised to recieve the nonslip mat! Plus, you can't beat the price point. Similar waterers were either a comparable price, (or more expensive), but ultimately this one had many more favorable reviews. The extra filters sealed the deal. I like being able to see the water level, and the water constantly circulating naturally keeps it cooler. The filter catches any cat food debris after they eat, and also protects the inside from getting slimy. We keep their food and water in a small back room on the counter, and too many times I've woken up to find their dishes scattered, even broken from being knocked on the floor. I don't like keeping the lights on, since my 4 year olds bedroom is near the back room. When sees the lights on under her door, she thinks we are still awake, and starts stalling, avoiding going to bed, coming out of her room constantly. The gentle blue light is just bright enough so they can see enough to get up on the counter. Now that we can turn the light off, the blue light is dim enough that she doesn't see it, and she has stopped coming out of her room. Huge factor: it's ABSURDLY quiet. Other than the gentle sound of the water, you can barely hear anything at all. Its a very dim, kind of whirring sound, which makes sense, from the fountain circulating the water. You have to actually put your ear right next to it to hear anything at all, standing more than a couple feet away, nothing at all. The lines on the front of the fountain showing the minimum and maximum water levels, so there is no guesswork as to when it needs to be filled. Also, instead of bringing it to the sink to refill each time, I just fill a quart size Tupperware, bring it to the waterer and slowly pour it right into the top. My cats are big, part Mainecoon, the female about 14/16 lbs, her brother about 22/24. So they drink alot of water. Here in CT with the hot humid summer coming, I wanted to switch to a larger waterer, and this is the perfect size. I've been refilling it approximately every 2-3 days, which means the cool clean water is definitely encouraging them to drink more! My cats weren't too sure about it at first, but I read in the reviews that seemed to be common. So I kept an eye on the water levels, and after about a day, the levels degan to drop, so I knew they were drinking. And suprisingly, both my cats, who until this point would have drank from anything, (the faucets in the bathtub, faucet AND dishes in the sink, and any water glass they find anywhere,) even with a freshly cleaned filled water dish, are no longer doing so. I've had this waterer for about 3 weeks now and I haven't seen them at the faucets at all. They are also drinking alot more water which is great, since they are now about 7 years old. A cat I had years ago developed urinary problems in his later years which constantly went to his kidneys, and had to be on medication for the remainder of his life, so anything to help these sweet babies drink more and keep healthy as possible is a big plus in my book. The pictures show my big boy Smokey happy with his new waterer. His sister Bandit is more shy, and not a fan of photos. The only reason I deducted one star is because the top of the waterer doesn't seem to secure in place. The directions say to "press top firmly into place," and it has what looks like latches, along thw inside, giving the impression it's supposed to lock into place. Mine does not. It basically just rests on top. I tried taking the whole thing apart and putting it together again to make sure it wasn't user error, but nope, it just doesn't secure properly. I decided to keep it for a bit and make sure it stayed on. I just didn't feel like going through the hassle of returning it, unless I needed to, and so far it has shown ro be uneccessary. It doesn't leak or anything, the flower attachment seems to help secure it, and it's not like my cats are pawing or pushing at it, so it does stay on. I'm going to give it an extra.good scrubbing this weekend hope the fact that it won't latch properly doesn't give me any problems in the future. TLDR: Get this waterer! This company also makes a fountain that is otherwise identical, but round if you prefer. Otherwise, there is no need to search any longer. I promise you and your pet will love it. Highly recommended!

I’m one of those jerks who relies on Product Reviews but hardly ever write them… decided to change my ways, and this is one of the first Reviews I’m writing because I love this product SO much. I’ve been a life-long cat servant, and have known for a while that cats prefer to drink from running water. Although one of ours still prefers a bowl, most house cats tend to be dehydrated when they only have a bowl to drink from. We currently have three cat water fountains, and this is my (and their) favorite by far. The main feature, as I mentioned in the title, is the level of water purification this fountain provides. I have one of those home water purification systems that comes with a water tester. It measures the Total Dissolved Solids (impurities) in the water. Our tap water consistently measures about 123-124ppm (parts per million). Just for the heck of it one day, I decided to test the water in the cats’ fountains, and this fountain purifies our cats’ drinking water to 000ppm! That was pretty impressive to me, and that’s why I wanted to write about it. Cats (especially males) can have issues with their urinary tracts; for some reason, they can be delicate. Keeping their systems well-hydrated and free of impurities (minerals such as calcium can form stones or crystals that can clog up their tubes) has made a world of difference in my cats’ overall health- not to mention my veterinary bills! At first, I did find it difficult to re-assemble it after cleaning, was always coming back to the product page and referring to the pictures. But after a little while got familiar enough with it to make it simple. I do clean it regularly, mostly because the black sponge filter gets full of hair. Even though the filters are inexpensive (especially in the big packs), I will run the black sponge filter through the dishwasher a couple of times to extend its life. Other features I love- the light is a pretty purpley-blue and is an excellent nightlight for The Cat Room. It also blinks when the water level gets low, but that hardly ever happens, which leads me to the next great feature: it holds A LOT of water! I have to refill our other two cat fountains every single day, but not this one, even though it’s the only fountain in The Cat Room. The silicone mat that goes under the fountain is cute, easy to wipe clean, and extremely practical because my cats are SLOBS who knock food and water out of everything they eat and drink from. If anyone is still reading,… this is an overall amazing Cat Fountain! At this price, you really can’t go wrong! Like I said, if you buy the replacement filters in the multi-packs, clean it regularly, and use the mat to protect your floors, it’s easy and inexpensive to maintain. All but one of my cats love it, and I’ll bet yours will, too!

After much research, we chose the Wonder Creature pet water fountain for our kitten. She seems to be obsessed with running water, so we were SO excited for this product to arrive! We stayed up later the day it arrived to get it washed & set up for our kitten. We were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to find that our pump did not function on our brand new fountain, right out of the box!! Figuring it likely wasn't worth the time, I contacted Wonder Creature to see if they would quickly send us another pump rather than us having to send the entire unit back to Amazon, as everything else in the package was fine! (I know....yeah, RIGHT!) We were pleasantly surprised when we got an email back from Wonder Creature....pretty much shocked to receive a return phone call from an ACTUAL PERSON, & TOTALLY SHOCKED when Wonder Creature followed through on quickly sending us a new, functioning water pump!! (They even threw in 2 extra filters!) Now our kitten's new water fountain is functioning properly & she is enjoying it quite a bit--while we are getting a kick out of watching her silly antics as she tries to decide if this new contraption is a water dish....or a TOY!?!? This dish makes ZERO noise that we can hear, has a nice blue light that allows us to easily see the water level, & is easy to assemble. Although we have not had to clean it yet, we did take the motor apart as shown in the directions to see if it was easy. We have no complaints there, either, as we did not find it difficult & the brushes required to clean it are included with the product. We are now very happy with our purchase, & absolutely delighted in the professionalism, follow-through, & end result in how we were treated with courtesy & respect by Wonder Creature! Customer service is a BIG deal to us, so if you combine Wonder Creature's rare quality of above-&-beyond customer service with this nice water fountain, we ABSOLUTELY recommend them & this fountain for your pet! Thank you, Wonder Creature & Jason for being a cut above! Zivah seconds that! ;)

My cat's absolutely love this water fountain! If you have a cat that loves water like I do, you definitely need to get this! Most cats don't like to be in water, but my cat does, she even jumps in the shower with me! Lol!

PRO: I love this fountain, and so do my cats. They took to it right away and like drinking from the little waterfalls. I like that there are multiple options for setting up the water flow, too, with the little attachments. It's a lot easier to clean than other pet fountains I've had in the past. It's pretty quiet, just a mild hum, until the water level gets low and it starts making louder gurgling noises. The pump has an auto-off feature if the water gets too low. Probably the best things for me are the little window to see how much water is in it, and especially the inner blue light that makes for a nice nightlight in my bathroom. Customer service was good. CON: The pumps just don't last. I bought the fountain on 1/1/23, and about 6 months later the light on the pump suddenly quit working. I read somewhere there was a 1 year warranty, so I contacted the company and they sent me a new pump. Great! Set it up and it works fine. Here we are now and the second pump has suddenly stopped working completely as of 2/1/24 - no light, no motor, nothing. I tried plugging into different outlets, nothing. I had just recently cleaned it and I took it apart anyway to check, nothing clogging it. Good thing I had saved the old pump, even though the light doesn't work at least the pump itself still does. If their pumps actually lasted, I'd give the product 5 stars, but I've been through 2 in about a year already. Maybe 1.5 if I'm being generous, since the original one half-works. These pump sizes are pretty standard, I wonder if I'd be better off buying a better quality one or a compatible aquarium pump elsewhere.
