Pioneer Raindrop Drinking Fountain - Stainless Steel

Our cat used to have a plastic fountain but she developed severe chin acne. Her vet said this was caused by bacteria in the fountain - even though I was scrupulous about cleaning it. We got rid of the fountain, but kitty was later diagnosed with kidney issues and her vet recommended trying a fountain again to encourage her to drink. She's been using this stainless steel fountain for over three years now and she's had no issues with acne at all. The fountain is super hygienic and easy to clean.

Very disappointing. Extremely noisy. Have to unplug the fountain at night or cannot sleep. My three dogs drink from it only if there is no water left in any of the two water bowl. I do not recommend this product.

The Raindrop is great in design and handling, and is easy to clean. Unfortunately, inventive cats can lift the shell very quickly, causing the whole jet to break up. Being directed outside. It happened here and half the kitchen was under water. Likewise, limescale is fast on the top, even if you use it as here only with still mineral water. Therefore, clean regularly with a limescale remover. All in all: 4 stars ☆☆☆☆

I used to love this and my cat drinks happily from it. It's also very hygienic, way better than plastic. However, the pump tends to make the upper part vibrate and make annoying noises (think about a refrigerator, but slightly louder and constantly on). Noise is reduced if the case of the pump is perfectly aligned, but it's hard to achieve it. Also (after a few years, I wouldn't consider it a defect), one of the suckers of the pump case broke, and I cannot find a replacement.

Advantages: + easy cleaning + light weight + dishwasher safe + Add water easily + quiet, if there is enough water in it + easy to disassemble & reassemble Disadvantage: - With calcareous water, it quickly gets limescale, which is difficult - For 3 cats, water must be replenished almost daily All in all: TOP TOP TOP!

So far, I have been discouraged from buying this fountain because other reviews said that there are no spare parts (e.g. a new pump). However, now I know that they are readily available. Let's go ...

Just a quick note to those who are capable of wiring a plug, just cut off the supplied one and add a UK 3-pin plug. Simples! (If you are not sure how to fit a plug, please consult a qualified electrician.)

Only had this for a few days, however it's proved successful with our 4 fussy felines. It's taken 4 or 5 days for them to get used to it - but they are all drinking from it and I'm so pleased to find a produt that encourages them to drink water. Easy to assemble, quiet operation and looks great!

Having done the Drinkwell and then the Lucky Cat ceramic fountain, this is much quieter and offers more drinking area for the cats than all the others. No problems getting them used to it and all seem to like different parts to drink from. Four happy customers. Only one request - am very tired of having to use adapters for anything from Zooplus. Please please please, make some of the UK for us UK customers, the adapters are unreliable - several times they become loose and the fountain stops working because of this.
