If you are buying this product for looks, then do so. If you are buying it to hear the trickle of water gently going down the fountain, don’t buy it. You only hear a little hum of the motor(very tiny sound). It is very attractive but the motor may not be strong enough to produce the trickle effect.

I received this fountain as a gift for Christmas. It is a beautiful accent piece for any room, with polished river rocks and four votive candles that set a soothing light. I like that it doesn't come with a cord, but operates on battery power. Therefore, you can set the fountain anywhere.

However, I don't use it as a fountain because the motor is so loud on my unit that I can't hear a trickle of water unless I put my ear right up to it and really concentrate. It's too bad, because the unit is even more beautiful with the water running and the candles lit. I just can't stand the sound! Don't the manufacturers even test these products to determine if they work properly? I'm sure that none of the makers of this product have one running at their home. The sound would drive anyone mad!

I really liked this fountain, the combination of water and fire – but it has no cord so has to run on batteries, which is a downer. More importantly, it died after a couple of months. I’ve had other desktop fountains which cost the same or less which have run for years.
