Product Review: HoMedics Envira Scape Mariposa Fountain - Avoid It
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this fountain as a gift for my daughter for Christmas. It was defective, with a crucial piece in the base being malformed. It was returned and another sent. The replacement was shipped from Target, and they sent me an obviously used and previously returned fountain (the "petals" were filthy), and the same defect was in the base.
Amazon's customer service is top, so I've not had a problem with return and refund, but save yourself the time and aggravation - don't purchase this particular fountain!!
Product Review: It is Just ok!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I do not like this product. Although it was easy to assemble and looked good in the beginning, the motor makes more noise than the water trickling, plus looks wise, it is not so classic. The plastic looks cheap. It doesn't look big, it is very small, much smaller than what the picture depicts. Also, in my piece, water flows in only one side, it never flows through the other side, so I have to turn it on and then turn the water flow side to the front.
I am disappointed with this product. I had especially purchased it for the sound of water flow which is definitely not so good in it.
Product Review: TO everyone giving this 1 STAR:
Summary: 5 Stars
Every single review that has 1 star states that it looks cheap, the motor is cheap, that it's plastic.
YOU PAID $20 BUCKS FOR A WATER FOUNTAIN.
Seriously people. If you want something that looks expensive, then spend the dang money. How about writing review that are actually helpful to people?
FOR THE MONEY, this is a good product. If you want something nicer looking, google Sharper Image and shut up.
Product Review: it's noisy...not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this from Target and, despite my usual method of checking out the reviews for something online BEFORE buying it, this was an impulse buy for me. I brought it home and then did my research--not good reviews at all. I figured I'd give it a chance so I set it up--yes, the instructions are confusing. I cleaned everything prior to starting it to make sure fuzzy junk doesn't get into the pump just like it recommended, and lo and behold, the pump is very noisy anyway. I couldn't hear any of the water, no matter how much or little water was in there. I was disappointed in the pitiful bag of rocks they included, so I went and got some little glass ones from Wal-mart in hopes that it would help the fountain make more waterfall-y noises, and, I suppose it did a little. For a short while at least. It took much maneuvering of the second and third tier basically every time I turned it on to get 'babbling' or 'drizzle' whatever it is water does, but it still doesn't mask the noise of the pump. I tried to give it a shot anyways, trying to convince myself that the pump acted as sort of a 'white noise machine' ....but that didn't work so well. I think i might end up returning it. Not quite sure yet.
I went and bought some algae destroyer from the pet shop, since some comments say that the pedals/tiers are easily discolored due to hard water or algae, but really I've only had it a while so I doubt this will be a problem any time soon, however I do recommend it for anyone who has a fountain, so it doesn't need to be cleaned as much--probably only once a month with the stuff.
The thing as a whole is pretty, especially when in a dark room and you can see the light flickering through the water on the wall and ceiling, but I'm just not sold on this thing yet. Maybe a couple more days.
