Decent cat fountain
Originally we liked this fountain. It started out quiet. It’s easy to clean. It is small and fit our small area for the cat food and water well. The colors are as pictured and very cute. The filters were not even a bad price and did a good job keeping the water clean.After about 6 months the power source began the vibrate. It became very noisy, but we dealt with it since the pump was working great and our cats love the fountain!After 11 months the pump stopped working. The kitchen was finally quiet again.The Hommii customer service was really great though, they contact you quickly. I was quickly assured a new pump. However between the two groups miscommunication occurred and I thought a new power source would also be mailed. I indicated the noise we dealt with.The parts had to come from China and that part took a long time. Our cats were not happy and drank a lot less water. I thought it would have been faster.Once we received the new pump we could not even use it because we had nothing to plug into.I contacted the seller again and they quickly responded. They sent over a cleaning kit to help compensate for our time. We had already just upgraded to a ceramic model and it was due to be delivered. Our cats needed to increase their water intake and we couldn’t wait to sort it out.Overall this is a good cute unit, but don’t expect it to last long, at least not perfectly quiet. If I had the choice I would have purchased the ceramic model first as it is far superior quality wise. It’s sold by the same company so I assume the same great customer service will be there.

Love it
Easy to use. Easy to find rrplacent filters for reasonable price and in bulk. Not the easiest thing to clean. Especially the pump itself. IF you keep the water level up and the pump CLEAN it is pretty quiet. Also nice that there are a few options for the set up depending on your animals

Drink for cats
I bought this because my cat insists on drinking from the tap. I was trying to detour that behavior. Others talked about water sliminess. I change my pets water daily. Even though this says every two weeks, I change the water every two days. It only gets 4 stars because there is no way to disconnect the pump without lugging cord and all to the sink and I would prefer an on off switch.

My 3 cats love it!
My 3 boys all enjoy this fountain. We've had it for several months now with no issues. I change the filter every 3 months when I change my fridge filter because I only use filtered water in the fountain. Even if you aren't filling it with filtered water, I don't think you need to change the filters weekly ($$$). Once a month would be fine. Just rinse them weekly.

Worth every cent
We adopted 2 foster kitties, ages 3 and 4 months. I was using a regular bowl while waiting for this fountain to come in and I thought they were drinking fine. Actually, when it came I considered sending it back but decided to try it and see if they liked it any better. They love it! My husband and I were both blown away by how much more they drink!! Sometimes they'd stir the water in the bowl with their paws before drinking it. With this fountain they just walk up and drink for several seconds at a time, several times a day. We are so happy with this purchase.

The fountain itself isn't that big which is nice. I'm really blown away with how quiet it ...
The fountain itself isn't that big which is nice. I'm really blown away with how quiet it is, which is a huge plus. It also holds a lot of water which is really convenient. My cat hasn't exactly figured it out yet, so I'm a little hesitant if the purchase was worth it or not yet. But overall, a good purchase.

Better than other brands (catit)
We’ve bought the same fountain from other brands and the pump would stop working after 6 months. This one has lasted quite a while and the cats love it. I find myself putting water in it every day because if the water gets lower than the pump, it makes a much louder noise. But as long as it’s filled, it’s very quiet. I change the filter every few months and clean it every month. I just take it apart and use a wet sponge without soap to get the slime off.

Weak motor
UPDATED:Since leaving the review below, Hommii customer service contacted me and sent me a whole new unit free of charge. Their customer service is great!Original review:The good: it has 3 water flow settings and my cat loves them all.The bad: the motor is already sounds like it’s working extra hard and I’ve only had the fountain 3 days. It was silent at first, but makes a loud buzzing sound now. Not sure how long it will last. And in case you’re wondering- yes, the water levels are fine!

The cheapest fountain has worked the best
This is my fourth or fifth different pet fountain, and the least expensive one of all that I've tried. I purchased it in winter 2018 and as of fall 2018 it's still working just fine, having lasted longer than the supposedly better quality ones. It's easy to clean and holds a generous amount of water (I use distilled). The pump is FAR easier to get apart than other fountains with the same type of pump, and overall cleaning is easy. One of my cats loves it and uses it daily; the other prefers still water (go figure). Still, I'm happy with this purchase and would buy another.

So far so good
I have a very timid kitty. I wasn't sure if she would ever use this because she is afraid of everything.It sounds like a soothing water fountain. It is best to keep it fairly full to keep gurgling noises down.I've had it for about a week or so and no leaking whatsoever.I suspected kitty was using it but I never actually saw it happen until this morning she had a good long drink. She is a VERY messy drinker and usually gets water everywhere but I'm happy to say there is no mess with this little fountain.minus one star because the cord is too short and I'm not able to keep it in the kitchen beside her food cuz the outlet is too high on the wall. One more foot of cord would've done it!

seems good design but my cat still won't use it
I've had it for about a week now and to date my cat will not drink from it. I don't know why, she seems nervous of it or possibly the sound of the pump or design or height. I've tried with or without the flower setup and makes no difference getting her to approach much less drink from fountain. Her normal water bowls are low and easily accessed when she crouches etc, this fountain design she would have to stand and I wonder if this is why she doesn't drink from it. I even tried putting her bowls next to fountain to help transition bowl to fountain.. she'll drink the bowl dry but still won't use fountain.. If anyone has any suggestions to aid transition to the fountain it is appreciated, thx

CLEAN IT MORE THAN IT SUGGESTS
CLEAN PROPERLY. For your cats health sake! You’ll have to open this up completely with cotton swabs and clean the sludge from every millimetre sized corner and crease. Yes even if you buy the filters or use filtered water. I thought I was cleaning it properly. Each month, and there would be a slime if left a day longer, but then the pump broke and I had to take the whole thing apart, was disgusting! I feel bad my cats were drinking from that. It does work for cats to drink from it but just clean it properly if you can’t afford the better ones!

Works great - But broken after 3 months.
My cat loved this water fountain, she took to it on day 1. We were ecstatic that she was consuming more water.But, it broke after 3 months. Now I am hesitant to buy it again.Pros:- Cat like(d) it- Reasonably priced to make my cat happier- Easy to clean- Easy to replace filters- Low noise- Cute lookingCons:- Pricy filters that needs consistent replacement- It broke after three monthsMy family went on vacation for 3 weeks, and we put our cat in a homestay. Before we left, we ensured the fountain was emptied and unplugged.But, alas, when we came home and tried to use the fountain again it is broken.This is a sore disappointment for my cat and I... and upon digging around and trying to see if there are any warranties for this product -- there aren't any. So, that's telling of how long they expect their product to function.I would recommend a pet drinking fountain, but I will not recommend this one.
