 It's only half good.Oct 13, 2003
front end looks good as pictured. back end shows silver plastic stems. not enough rocks to cover the base. whole thing looks as if it was setup to take the picture. 2 more slates for the back and 2 more bags of rock would've made this product much more pleasing.(and I would definitely paid extra to complete this fountain) manual says water constantly evaporate so it needs to be refilled. I find base dish not big enough to hold water from sprinkled out of the plate rather than evaporating. kudoes for including extra light burbs. note: I took off pump cover that has suction cups. have the pump suspended in the water, dangling only by the tube. Now I don't hear pump vibration that was passing on to the table. Gotta go look for polished river rocks in the mall now.

pretty good item for under $20Sep 12, 2004
By G. Moore

I bought this even though the other reviews were poor, and I'm pleasantly surprised. You get two bags of rocks, plenty to cover the base and some of the black slate plates.
It does have a bit of a buzz to it, but if you overfill it a bit and take the time to position the plates and stones, and let the circulator float in the well, the buzz becomes white noise. Again, the issue of water splashing out can be resolved with a bit of time spent positioning the slate plates. It took about 20 minutes of my time, and I have no water splash whatsoever.
I use this in my bedroom in place of a humidifier and it works quite well, especially when it's refilled daily. The tiny light works great as a nightlite, too.
Homedics listened to everyone's issues as well, because the instructions now address these two problems and offer some solutions.
Other units I looked at started at $50 and went up, so for me it's a great little find. Just don't expect a $150 fountain for
twenty bucks....

 It's HorribleDec 31, 2003
DO NOT BUY THIS FOUNTAIN. It doesn't look anything like it's pictured above. The water splashes everywhere, it makes a ton of noise, there are not enough rocks to cover the base, they fall into the canal where the pump is housed, in order to adjust the flow of the water, you have to take the entire thing apart, It's not worth the money.

Awful!Sep 14, 2004
By Ladyhawk Wright
"Reiki Practitioner"
This was so pretty in the picture but when I got it home it didn't go together like it should have, within 5 minutes the whole desk area was covered in water, I never could get it to line up so the water trickled, instead it just gurshed in one area and all of the water splashed out. Not enough rocks to cover bottom of platter, does make relaxing sound when turned on but too much trouble otherwise. Used it three times then put away. Should have taken it back.

 Lovely fountain to aid sleep or just watch...Mar 19, 2006
By Jeff the Lizard
First off, my fountain is quiet...I have excellent hearing and bought it to help sleep and it does this well. I had no real problems with set-up, despite the fact that I read the instructions only after assembly! There is a bit of splatter after many, many hours of running, but adjusting the pump to about 1/3 between the "-" and "+" setting fixes most of that. My room humidity stays about 45% and at that level you need to add water every two days or so. Mine is visible from over 180 degrees and it looks nice from all sides. I found there were plenty of stones supplied, despite others problems. Oh, and please fellow-shoppers, unless you have bought one or have used one of a friends, it isn't helpful to rate a product based on speculation.
All considered, a fine product!
