Overall, it's good. I had to send for a new motor because the one that came with it was noisy. It's still a little louder than I would like, but it's a good value and our dogs like it. They appear to be drinking more, which was the goal we had.

This is pretty noisy if you don't keep it filled all the way. Almost every night I come home from work it's gurgling, and I'm sure my cats are scared of it when it makes this noise. It took a couple days for them to get used to it, but now they love it.

My cats and I love this fountain. One cat drinks from the fountain, and one from the bowl. Cats have poor depth perception and the fountain allows them to "see" the surface of the water.
I like how it sounds too; I call it my "water feature". Friends have commented they like how it sounds too, saying that others they have heard are too loud and anoying. This one is soothing. I recommend buying the additional attachment that holds more water. Otherwise you will be constantly adding more water. The motor can burn out, and it makes a terrible noise if the water level is too low. The filters last a long time, but you will need to replace them. I frequently clean the filter while I clean out the fountain to make them last longer.
I am 100% satisfied with this product and have given it as a gift to several fellow cat lovers.

We've had this product for the past 15 years. The first one finally wore out/cracked plastic plus I "munched" one part in our garbage disposal by mistake. Bought two new ones and the improved color and design is great. All five of our cats use the two fountains. Easy of cleaning a real plus.

I am very pleased with the Drinkwell pet fountain. Its construction is far superior to that of the Petmate product which I used for a couple of years. While the Drinkwell fountain seems to be a bit louder, it does not leak like the Petmate fountain. The pieces fit together firmly and easily. The Petmate had to be very precisely lined up and was very difficult to disassemble and reassemble correctly. Not so with Drinkwell -- it is easy to disassemble, save for one part -- and this is my ONLY criticism: the pump is very difficult to remove. The instructions will show that you simply slip your finger underneath the pump, rotate it a quarter turn and remove it. It's the "rotate a quarter turn" part that is not easy to do. I had to find a tool to slip under the pump and get the right leverage to rotate it. Of course, you have to be cautious to keep the torque mostly on the pump so you don't break any of the housing in the process. Nevertheless, a little effort does yield the desired result. I suppose there is a trade-off here in that the tight fit does ensure no leaks -- which I hated about the Petmate fountain. All in all, I am much more happy now that I have the Drinkwell Pet Fountain. Oh, and -- get the 50 ounce Reservoir while your at it! It's a nice convenience.
