Solar Fountain with 3.5 W Solar Panel, Solar Fountain for Bird Bath 1500 mAh Battery - 6 Effects for Pool, Fish Pond, Bird Bath, Garden

This thing sends the water pretty high with ANY of the attachments. I originally bought it for a small (14”) birdbath at my home and had to instead use it in my larger (30”) one at school because it sprays so high. So far, the battery stores the extra energy pretty well. It keeps the fountain going when the shade moves over the birdbath in the afternoon.

This is the 2nd one that I have purchased as it works better than any other I bought. The first one lasted two years and had a suction cup that did not hold, while this newer version has clear sticks you can attach to the edges, (you trim to fit), that keeps the unit in place, rather than roaming around and emptying out the bird batch. Works even on cloudy days, when others did not. Great fountain for a great price

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I was hesitant to buy this because of people saying the pump would not work in overcast weather and in direct sunlight only but the review ranks were decent. I set this out early morning with the sun barely up and the pump turned on. Also had a full overcast day and some rain, and the pump still worked fine and never stopped. Overall I am pretty impressed so far. The only issue I have is my birdbath is small and there is not a sprinkler head adapter I can use that won't eventually make all the water pump out of the birdbath because the stream is strong and shoots high. I ended up not using one of the heads and just one of the tubes that connect the heads. It now looks like the stream from a drinking fountain instead of a sprinkler, which works perfect to keep the water in the tub.

Worked well all summer, works even when partly cloudy

I had to return it with in a few days due to very poor performance

It's been a little over a month after I got this solar fountain. I didn't put it to use right away because I was waiting for the bowl I ordered. I put it out this past weekend. At first it ran fine but as the sun moved off of it in the late afternoon, it completely stopped working. It's supposed to work as described; "Even on cloudy days or at night, this solar fountain can work continuously for 5~6 hours on a full charge." Nope, it does not. Other solar fountains I had worked hours after the sun went down.

I'm very happy with this. It comes with various nozzles to change the effect of the fountain. It runs well with the slightest hint of sun. It's extremely lightweight plastic so I ordered extra stakes to keep it anchored. The birds don't seem terribly interested but maybe in time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Because of a video that showed how it works and it also has a battery. Also, like the choices of spray options
