Okay it took a few days before my cat would drink from it, but now she loves it! I change the water once a week. It is easy and quick to clean. I definitely recommend this to any cat lover!

I bought this product because I have a cat with urinary problems who would only drink out of the sink while I was getting ready for bed or getting up in the morning. He was constantly dehydrated and it was nearly impossible to get him to drink enough water. Clean fresh water wasnt enough, he would only drink running water. So i got the Drinkwell pet fountain and he loves it!! He likes to watch the water run and drink out of it and play in it. The motor is a little louder than I would like, but all three of my cats think it is fantastic. My 15 year old cat loves to sit by it and watch the running water. Its a great way to get cats to drink more water if they like the running water.

After just a couple of months use, my Drinkwell fountain developed a leak and became unuseable. It was leaking from the part where the motor is inserted into the base - the rubber ring meant to seal the connection was not sufficient. The leak was really significant; within 30 minutes there would be a big puddle on the floor. I would try reinserting the motor repeatedly to create a tighter seal, but I've given up. I don't want to deal with it every time I have to disassemble the fountain for cleaning. If not for this problem, I do like the fountain and my cat was a big fan. I wish they would fix the design so that the motor is contained in a closed section of the unit.

I bought this from a pet store in 2005. Now that 2007 is almost over, I realize that the thing has lasted for a little while now & is still going strong. When I bought it, the cover on the back was missing. I e-mailed the company, and they sent one out to me, free of charge, no questions asked. They didn't have to do that, so I thought that was pretty nice of them. This fountain does get gross after a while. We have 2 indoor/outdoor cats using it. It should be cleaned once a week. Cleaning involves taking several things apart, and the "slime" built up from cat saliva, microbes, and everything else demands that you do more than soap & water. I use vinegar or an extremely weak solution of bleach with lots of rinsing afterward. You will need to clean hair off the motor assembly. You will also need some little brushes to clean in small crevices. It has a slight hum, so keep it away from your bedroom. I find its trickling water noises to be pleasant. The filter part isn't designed well - water flows over it & around it. I found that without it, though, the water gets grungier faster.
