 Highly recommended August 10, 2008
I have had it for maybe 6 years. Also purchased the other type, I forget the name of that brand, it has more of a spout than this one, which is more of a flow. I have 8 cats, some really like the flow, some just want to drink from a bowl. I don't consider this noisy. I don't bother with the filter, consider that kind of useless. If the pump gets blocked by junk (will occur with or without using a filter) it will get noisy, or if the water gets low. That is your clue to add water or clean it. If you ever shelled out $500 because one of your cats had urinary blockage, you don't consider anything that encourages your cats to drink more water a bad idea. I also suggest filtered water (I use the attachment for my tap), cats really go for filtered water more. Bottom line, some of my cats just love this, and they all prefer it to the alternate brand. My tom's all go for it, and male cats are more prone to urinary blockage.
Convenience at a low price July 23, 2008
This fountain is quite inexpensive compared to others I have seen elsewhere, and is convenient for those who are always on the run, such as myself.
It keeps the water cool and makes the water fresh (I add lukewarm water and minutes later it feels nice and cool). Rather than changing your pet's stagnated water daily, this fountain only needs to have water added whenever it starts becoming noisy due to the filter needing to be fully submerged. It includes a reservoir too which makes your water-filling less frequent and since the water is constantly circulating, you don't have to worry about it getting algae. The filter traps pieces of food your pet may accidentally kick into the water, so at that time it is a good idea to empty the water and clean it with hot water.
 GET THE DELUXE MODEL July 22, 2008
I had the deluxe model, and thought it wasn't working correctly, and I ordered this model, which did not work water gurgled out the sides. I cleaned the deluxe model with vinegar and it is working again! it keeps water circulating and my siamese and jack russell seem to drink more water .. get the deluxe model, you won't be sorry.
Love it, love it, love it! July 22, 2008

This unit is so quiet and works great. I have a 3 pound Chihuahua and a 14 pound Chinese Crested Hairless and the size is perfect for the two of them. I highly recommend this to any petite to small animal owner.
Good but None Too Large July 19, 2008
Buy a larger size than you think you'll need. I bought the Jumbo for a two-dog (one small, one large) household and wished that it came in a larger size. It required refilling every day or so. Other than that no real complaints. Reading the mostly positive reviews here leads me to believe that this product can have a long life. I haven't owned it long enough to form an opinion. The first unit I purchased experienced pump failure within a week and was exchanged for another, which did not fail. Maybe the pump is the potential weak point....
There doesn't appear to be another, better product on the market, so go with the Petmate!
