PETLIBRO Cat Water Fountain, Cordless Pet Water Fountain Battery Operated, 2.5L/84oz Dockstream Water Fountains for Cats Indoor, Cat Fountain with Stainless Steel Tray, Easy to Clean BPA-Free

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like this fountain, but the wireless pump drew me in enough to try it. I’ve had numerous fountains - different brands, different materials - over the past 10 years. Some were more expensive than this one, some were less expensive. So, as I write this review, I’m using the experiences I’ve had with ALL of those fountains for my comparison, and I’ve had the PetLibro for about 2 months now.FIRST: Set up - The set up of this fountain is SUPER simple. The instructions are clear, but you really don’t even need them. Everything is intuitive, and the fountain really only fits together one way. You can’t even put the motor in backwards thanks to the notched design that makes it fit neatly in the bowl.SECOND: Operation - Full disclosure, I’ve only used the constantly on function, so I can only speak to that. It stays plugged in, so I don’t use the cordless function, though I do like that it’s an option. The water flow is excellent, and it is very quiet. The lack of a window to monitor water level is what kept me from purchasing this sooner. I didn’t think the the red light that notifies you when the water level is low would be noticeable enough, but it really is. And surprisingly, the motor shut off when the level is too low actually works. When operating, the fountain is VERY quiet. I don’t hear any motor sound at all, and very little water sound. Refilling is quite simple - you can remove the bowl from the base, remove the top and fill it per the instructions. I know the instructions say not to just top off the water by adding from the top, but honestly, as long as you don’t overfill, I don’t see why you can’t do that in a pinch. I have four small dogs, so we have to refill at least once a day, and it doesn’t need to be rinsed out every day, so I do sometimes just top off.THIRD - and this is the kicker - CLEANING: The one thing that has always been painful about pet fountains for me is the cleaning. The taking apart and putting back together. We have always had at least two fountains, and with some of the fountains we’ve had, cleaning them was a chore. Lots of parts to take apart, clean, replace the filter and put back together. This fountain is SO easy to clean. Fewer parts, easy to put back together, and because of the wireless motor, so much easier to clean without worrying about the power end of a cord getting wet while you’re struggling to take the motor apart for cleaning. This fountain cuts the cleaning time in half at least, and because of the ease of cleaning, I’ve been much better about cleaning more frequently (every two weeks as recommended). For some reason, this fountain also doesn’t seem to get as gross as other fountains I’ve had get.FOURTH - Expense - The replacement filters for this are no more expensive than the filters for other fountains, and you can get them auto shipped, which is nice so you don’t run out or have to remember to re-order. They are smaller than most of the other fountains filters I’ve used as well.I’ve been surprisingly impressed with this fountain, and have replaced two of my three fountains with the PetLibro so far. When that third (least used) fountain dies, it will be replaced with a PetLibro.

The media could not be loaded. My cat somehow managed to knock the top off of my previous water fountain, which meant he wasn't able to drink water. I decided it was time to invest in a sturdier option, even though it was a bit over my budget. I wanted to ensure my cat had access to fresh, clean water and move away from plastic bowls, opting for the stainless steel tray and ABS (BPA-free) tank instead. That's when I came across the PetLibro Dockstream Water Fountain.Boy, am I ever glad I did! This water fountain is FANTASTIC! Not only is it practically indestructible for my mischievous cat, but it also provides a steady stream of fresh water that he loves. The stainless steel tray is a huge upgrade from my old plastic bowl, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that my cat's drinking water is free from harmful chemicals.Sure, I have to clean it and change the filter twice as often, but the process is SOOO much easier and quicker than with my old fountain that I don't mind at all. Cleaning the fountain only takes a few minutes, and there are no cords to get in the way. The mini-filter cleaner that comes with it is a game-changer, allowing me to get into all the nooks and crannies effortlessly. I actually look forward to cleaning it now, which is something I never thought I'd say!In addition to the ease of cleaning, the Dockstream looks incredibly sleek and modern. It fits perfectly with my kitchen decor and complements the other PetLibro products I have, including their kibble and wet food feeders. The cohesive look of all these products together not only looks great but also adds a level of convenience and organization to my pet care routine.Another fantastic aspect of the PetLibro Dockstream is its thoughtful design. The fountain is designed to be quiet, which is great for both me and my cat. The gentle hum of the water is soothing rather than disruptive, and my cat seems to drink more water now that it’s always fresh and flowing. Plus, the sturdy construction means I don't have to worry about it tipping over or breaking, no matter how curious my cat gets.These products have truly made my life easier. The combination of the PetLibro Dockstream Water Fountain's durability, ease of cleaning, and sleek design makes it a worthwhile investment. If you're considering a new water fountain for your pet, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s a perfect solution for any pet owner looking for reliability, convenience, and style in one package.

I've purchased a total of 4 diff cheaper cat fountains, so I was skeptical when i bought this fountain. I have to say that this is the best fountain out of all of them. I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is easier to clean than the other fountains bc there is not a lot of little pieces to scrub or a cord in the way. The filters are awesome! I have well water and with the cheaper fountains, the filters are practically rusted out within a week, which means I have to change them more often then needed. Even though i change the petlibro filters every 2 weeks, they are still clean and white! In addition, I love that there is a notification light that blinks when the water level is low. It's also pretty cool that it has a sensor, so the fountain will start running when your cat approaches it to drink, or you can put it in continuous running mode. I've had this fountain for about 2 months now and I think it's great. I will definitely be buying another one for my spoiled fur baby.
