DownyPaws Cat Water Fountain Cordless, 84oz/2.5L Fursink Wireless Pet Water Fountains for Cats Indoor, Battery Operated Cat Drinking Fountain with Motion Sensor, Ultra Quiet Pump, BPA-Free, Black

Practically perfect pet fountain – I will own no others from here on out!
The Pros:Let me start by saying that this is TRULY a wireless fountain. Just charge the pump and put the fountain anywhere. You can easily turn it off and remove the pump for charging while leaving the fountain itself where it lives.It’s also one of the quickest and easiest fountains to clean that I’ve ever found. The filters are both OUTSIDE of the pump, allowing a quick rinse/replace as needed. No annoying little weird things sticking out randomly in the reservoir for no good reason (except to have to scrub around with a toothbrush). And the pump itself can be gotten to reasonably easily for a deep cleaning. It also doesn’t really splash outside the fountain itself, so not much wiping up needed in the area either.You can also add water from the top. The slit where the water drains back into the base will funnel far more than the normal amount of water the pump pushes, so you can just pour extra water in as needed. (Mind you, you do have to be a little patient and not pour too much too quickly. But the fact that you don’t have to tear it apart to refill it is awesome. That cannot always be said of fountains that keep the bulk of the water away from the open air.)You have your choice of modes for the pump also. There is a built-in motion sensor that is surprisingly sensitive several feet away, that turns on the pump for about 10 seconds when the cat approaches. Timer mode turns on the water every 15 minutes for 20 seconds. The pump itself is very quiet. So much so, that I hear the water splashing, not the pump, and even that is quite unobtrusive. The fountain apparently stops running when the water level is too low so as to not damage itself, but I haven’t tested that. It DOES have a red light that comes on, indicating it’s perhaps time to refill.And I LOVE that it has two different drinking styles. The main mimics a water faucet. It’s their favorite. But it also has a small “pool” up top for those that don’t like/can’t get the hang of drinking from the falling water.The Cons:I could wish the motion detector flow lasted longer than 10 seconds. My old cats just don’t drink that quickly and I end up waving at it from my desk nearby to re-activate the flow. But still preferable to the every 15 minutes as there are too many cats and they are not used to having to pay attention to time. Even a perma-on option might be nice, but I can see that causing the battery to burn out much faster.A SLIGHTLY deeper top “pool” with a SLIGHTLY larger drain into the reservoir. Just because I’m lazy and would prefer to refill slightly faster without opening it up. But a very minor point and hardly worth calling it a “con”. The shallowness of the top pool does occasionally lead to some splashing around the edges or outside, but not much at all.Also super minor (and mostly for other cats than mine), perhaps a redesign of the pump someday, where it would allow a “bubble up” feature for the water before that goes into the more faucet-like fall? Not at all necessary in my book, but a thought to add a third drinking option that some cats seem to like. (But I’m quite happy with the faucet and pool and loathe to even include this as a “con”. Just a suggestion really.)

Great customer service and product
Customer service is fantastic! This is the second fountain I have ordered. So far it is working great! This one is an upgrade to the previous model I had. They added a better battery spout, metal bowl, and combined one of the filter holders to the base. I use the motion setting and it lasts roughly 2 weeks. I have one cat. I clean it out at that time and usually wash the gunk of the filter a second time (not recommended) but I do it and it seems to be fine.I bought a fountain about 2 years ago, the battery stopped working while in warranty. I emailed customer service at Downypaws, they gave me instructions on what to try to fix it. Ended up still not working so they sent me a new and improved model free of charge, as it was still in warranty and there was some issues with the connection to the battery and base they implemented.That improved model worked fine for me for about 1-2 years (past warranty). The battery stopped working. Started showing a purple error on it. I emailed customer service and they gave me instructions to try. That didn’t work, they gave me a discount on a replacement battery. That didn’t work, turns out it was the base of the fountain. They gave me a discount to buy a new fountain. Which is this one. I greatly appreciate the discount! They didn’t have to do it.Long as the customer service stays like it is and the products keep being great, they got a customer for life from me.

Tiene un sensor muy sensible eso ayuda que se active más fácil con el minimo movimiento, me hubiera gustado que tuviera también la opción de flujo continuo eso lo haría un producto excelente!También me hubiera gustado que tuvieran un modelo que no tuviera el tope que está en medio de la bandeja.Lo compre especialmente para mis aves por el tiempo de calor y mantener el agua limpia por más tiempo, al parecer le gusta.

I’ve been using this filter for several months now. I terribly regret buying it. I have to change the filters every 3 days since they barely keep the water clean and when I do the water is always dirty and the fountain is slimy (hence cleaning and changing the every three days) the battery last long I have to give it that only reason I gave it two stars. Other than that not worth the buy and I highly don’t recommend. I’m keeping it for now till I find a better fountain for my cat.
