Good & not expensive at all
Our cats used to play with the water in an open bowl and we often found the kitchen more or less flooded, but this dispenser solved the problem and even made them to drink more often than before. Besides, the water stays fresher in the container than in an open bowl. However, the bowl of the dispenser is a little too small for our 7kg male ragdoll (his cheeks touch the rim when he drinks) - but until now he has been ok with it. And yes, as far as drinking and eating are concerned, I would normally prefer ceramics or glass to plastic, but this dispenser seems to be resistant to scratching etc.
