Mademax Solar Bird Bath Fountains Pump, Upgrade 1.4W Solar Fountain with 6 Nozzle, Free Standing Floating Solar Powered Water Fountain Pump for Bird Bath, Garden, Pond, Pool, Outdoor

Great product and worked right out of the box. The only challenge is if the wind is blowing, it will gravitate toward whatever end of the birdbath the wind is pushing it towards, and it will empty the birdbath because the water from the little jets will be falling outside of the birdbath. So you have to keep an ion it to make sure that it’s not sitting in an empty birdbath, because it will keep attempting to work, and may burn out

I bought this to keep my bird bath lively without dealing with cords or batteries. The solar powered setup promised quick starts in direct sun, and the claim about attracting hummingbirds was a nice bonus. The option to swap nozzles gave me something to play with as the bath size and sun conditions change. In everyday use, I filled the bath with clean water and set the pump in place. In direct sun it starts within a few seconds and the spray appears almost instantly. The built in retainer keeps the pump centered, so the stream stays in the bath instead of splashing over the edge. I experimented with the six nozzles to switch between patterns, and for a smaller bath I found that using no nozzle cut down on splash nicely. What stood out is how simple it is to set up and how reliably it runs in sun. The different spray styles are actually useful for changing the look, and the bubbler option helps keep water from splashing out when space is tight. It requires clean water and regular topping up, but there are no cords to manage. One small note is that it does not work at night or on cloudy days and it relies on direct sunlight. Also I learned to keep the water level adequate to protect the pump. Despite that, the overall effect is pleasant and the birds seem to enjoy the movement and aeration. Overall, it’s a 5-star addition to my garden.

Once the sun is gone,it's doesn't work anymore,it's only works under full sun

This is tough because the fountain works pretty much as it is described and it has lasted over a year of basically non-stop, continual use during spring, summer and fall seasons in Ohio. We are using this in a 27" bird bath that gets full sun exposure for ~8 hours a day, then is partially shaded in the late afternoon and evening. So why only 3-stars? Primarily for understating the flaws... 1. The note in the description about the spray height being directly related to the sunlight intensity is an understatement to say the least! The ONLY time you will see tall spray like in the pictures is when there is complete full sun exposure with absolutely ZERO obstruction. Slight haze from a humid summer day?...nope, that's not enough sun. Now, with that said, it does run when there is little to no sun, but it's just a trickle. That's enough to keep the water agitated, but not much else, and that has served it's purpose for us at least. 2. The description mentions "a larger birdbath is recommended to prevent splashing out of the birdbath". Again, that's quite an understatement! We have what I would consider a fairly large bird bath at 27 inches in diameter, but on the rare occasions we have enough full sun, anything but the flat spray nozzle will result in most of the water being sprayed out of the bath onto the ground. If even a slight breeze picks up, then most of the water ends up on the ground and in a matter of minutes the bird bath is empty! So I'm not sure what bird bath would be big enough to use the other tall spray nozzles unless it's a small pond. Also, keep in mind that it floats, so it hardly ever stays in the exact center of the bath; so even with a huge bird bath, it would eventually float to the edge and you would end up with the same problem. 3. Finally, the thing is a magnet for algae and debris. It's not necessarily hard to clean, but it does require frequent (basically daily) cleaning. Because the entire surface area of the fountain is in constant contact with the water, I think it also makes the water get dirty faster as well. 4. I don't think the birds care about the fountain. They use the bird bath, but I have never seen them use the fountain's spray - partly because we use only the flat nozzle just to keep the water agitated and provide a little sound, and nothing more; so there is rarely any spray for them to play in. To sum up... we've been relatively happy with the fountain and the limited functionality that we get out of it, but are looking for other, non-fountain options that will run more consistently and have less surface area contacting the water, but still provide the sound and agitation we want. But if you have no wind and no clouds and a gigantic bird bath and don't mind taking it apart everyday to clean, this fountain will work for you!

The fountain description states direct sunlight is required in several different areas of product information. But I've noticed many reviews stating dissatisfaction because it only works in direct sunlight. It works exactly as described and fit my need perfectly. I turn my pool pump off from 10pm to 10am and needed a small ripple to circulate in the early morning. This little fountain creates the small movement I required. I also have a bird bath shaded under my pecan tree and tried it out there. When in shade the fountain produces about a quarter inch height of movement to keep the water circulated. This is actually perfect for not splashing the small amount of water out of the bird bath. This product has no batteries to charge from the solar panel. It only works in sunlight, which is perfect for my application because I don't want to be replacing batteries in this instance.

Overall it does what it advertises and it’s been running great for me so far. It looks nice in the black bowl with pebbles I placed it in and blends in well. The battery life is very good so far and I haven’t had any issues since purchasing it a few weeks ago. The only negative I can think of is that it’s very lightweight and small (which some people might like), so it floats around and isn’t stationary in the large bowl I placed it in. The water can shoot up very high as well may or may not be a plus for some people. Putting in less water helps regulate it. It’s under direct sun all day on my deck (haven’t tested with partial shade) and continuously shoots out water until it gets low, so I would say it works very well for a small solar fountain!

Absolutely no installation required! The motor started working even with sunlight coming through windows after unboxing it. With the suction feet it's immovable, so there is no complaint of water falling out and getting empty. Just be sure to top up water in case of evaporation. So far so good. Will have to see how durable it is. As of now, I am happy with the purchase.

Worked for a month only which indicates poor quality of the product. I definitely don’t recommend it. Update on 30 Dec: My previous bad review was actually unjustified. I found that the small pump just needed to be rinsed a little bit to free it of some blockage. The product is still working. My apologies to the seller.

لاانصح بالشراء الصور لاتمثل حقيقة الجهاز لايعمل الا اذا كانت الشمس مسلطه عليه والدفع ضعيف جدا ويتوقف كثيرا عن العمل بضاعه سيئة ورديئة

I've bought a variety of solar fountains and this one worked the best. I had it in an outdoor kiddie pool and many times the pool got all but drained of water and this was unaffected. Love it!

Buen producto! A varios meses de la compra sigue funcionando
