It allows you to have a small pond or container with circulating water. A delight to watch, keeps the water from getting stagnant, etc., with ZERO operating costs. I love it.

 Solar Panels still a sensitive product... August 2, 2007

I bought this about 6 months ago and it worked like a dream. I have bought other solar fountains in the past, this one lasted the longest before dying. I think that the technology for encasing solar panels in water just isn't there yet. I loved this fountain though and really enjoyed watching my humming birds take showers in it! I would (and maybe will) buy it again because it is perfectly suited to my needs. But beware, as with all solar fountains... they do not last long. The technology needs to improve!!!
 Great for a couple of weeks July 26, 2008

We wanted a small pond in our backyard but didn't want to have to use electricity. I thought this solar fountain would be perfect, giving some circulation in the water, plus looking pretty. It did just that for a couple of weeks ONLY when in direct sunlight, but since then, has decided to quit working most days. I don't know if there is a short or what, but the fountain does not even come on most days now, even in direct sunlight. Unfortunately we threw away the box so I haven't tried to return/exchange it. I'm now looking for an alternative.

I bought one of similar design from Harbor Freight. It worked as advertised, until after a few weeks. It became waterlogged on one side and the flowing water from the fountain part would tend to flip it over upside down, such that the sun wouldn't hit the solar cells anymore. I have been able to remedy the problem by drilling 1/8in. holes in the bottom of the base floating unit, to more evenly distribute the water inside base. That helped to stabilize it in the tub of water where it sits in the sun. The plastic cover fogs up, which blocks out some of the light to the solar cells, but it still will push water up 5-6inches in the bright sunlight.
It is convenient to use. However, IMHO the best solar-powered fountain would probably not be self-contained, you would want to buy a quality 12v DC pump and then run it off separate wiring, batteries, and solar panels which are remote from the fountain pump itself, which would be installed somewhere in the pool/birdbath. That's what I plan to do later myself.
