Cheerble Pumpless Cat Water Elfin Fountain, Wireless Pet Fountain Battery Operated, 2L/67oz E1+ Automatic Water Dispenser Cats & Dogs MagDrive™ Technology Stainless Steel Tray, No Cleaning Hassle

I want to tell you guys how much I love this water fountain. I have been through countless fountains with my cats. They last a couple of months that’s it. Even with regular cleaning there would be mold, the motor would fail, they would just stop and have to be replaced so I kept spending money over and over on this one thing.Then, I saw a TikTok ad for this Cheerbles. I had a little extra at the time. So yes I bought this $80 water fountain for my spoiled girls. And it was worth it.It’s so easy to clean. I take it apart 1 or 2x a week, which is only necessary because of my cat, not the fountain. She is constantly putting her paws in it and playing with it, she likes to mess when the sensors. Frankly, she’s obsessed with it and spends hours a day plying with it while the other cat just stares in mild disgust.Anyways, that why I have to clean it so often - she gets litter in the water. The fountain itself is wonderful. It’s quiet. The auto sensor works well. I do have non-Cheerbles filters inside and the fountain doesn’t like them but I am poor and don’t care.The gravity pump is wonderful, it’s much easier to clean. I use a steel straw brush to clean the pump inside and out.The water has to be replaced about 2x per week which seems quick but again, my cat is taking bird baths in it.Get the fountain. No fountain is a walk in the park, they all have to be cleaned regularly as your pet is dropping fur, litter, and probably a ton of backwash into the fountain, but this is so easy to maintain plus it functions as a cat toy. If nothing else my cat is well hydrated.

First, I need to share my water fountain journey. Go to the next paragraph if you don't want to read it. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and she loves her water. Rather than a bowl of water that can get contaminated from just sitting there, I wanted to find something better. I tried water fountains with pumps, but the issue is they had extra things to replace (for a price) and would need a lot of cleaning to prevent them from turning into dirty fish tanks. I then found motorless fountains, and not only were they very quiet, but they would move the water around through a filter. I got one with a stainless steel top initially, but it eventually attracts calcium buildup and doggy slobber no matter how much you clean it (CLR helped a bit). The company that made that model stopped making it after about a year so filters were no longer available either. So next I looked for the same thing but all plastic, to make it easier and safer to clean and found one made in the USA and claimed to be the best. Awkward to pick up, you have to carry the whole thing (not just lift the bowl from the base) and only smaller models came with a proper cover, while the filter was just loosely placed in a slot. It was very loud and had an always-on blue light that turned red when water was low. I did not like it at all and returned it.Now for this model - it's very quiet, it filters the water through a smooth filter connection, and is all-plastic with no issues of calcium or doggy slobber. Plus it has a timer function that lets water flow only when motion is detected, which helps a lot, and no overly bright lights either. I have the corded version. If you want a motorless water fountain for a cat or small dog, this is the best one I've found after about 3 years of looking.

I had seen several other fountains and decided to get one. One website recommended this brand and the reviews convinced me to try this one. My cat (and sometimes my dog) and I love this fountain. He drinks from the bowl, and sometimes from the spout, and sometimes dips his foot in to drink that way. I like that it starts up when he comes up to it and also that it randomly starts to try to encourage drinking. It's easy to clean and reassemble. I love the convenience of the charger. I love the lights that tell me what's going on with it--filter needs changing, unit needs charging, water is flowing, etc. The low and high water marks are a little hard to see, but I know pretty much where they are now. The filters don't last 3-4 weeks, but I figure that has more to do with our water than the filter. If I had to buy another waterer, it would be this one or another one by this company.

So far it seems pretty good.There are a few things I don't particularly like; it doesn't keep running even if my cat is there (it does it's usual start and stop) and my cat drinks lots of water so he'll sometimes sit there for a while. Also the light warning for the filter doesn't notify me anything.I LOVE IT because; it's not constantly running (and killing my ears), it's so easy to clean (my previous one took me 20 minutes to make sure everything was clean and dry before putting back together). It's also a perfect size and hold a good amount of water (bc again, my cat drinks a lot). Also the filters are so easy, just one and done (my last had 3 and cost like $40 for a set of 5)

It is a great fountain. It is very easy to clean. There are just a few tough spots but a toothbrush or small cleaning comb should suffice.I don’t have to worry about my cats getting sick with this fountain. Other fountains I have tried there were so many parts to clean and they were so hard to reach every area. It ended up making my cat sick.Most of my cats love to just play in the water. It’s annoying but this water filter keeps the water inside the bottom container SO CLEAN!! I have never seen any hair, dirt, litter, etc in the bottom. Only in the middle area where the filter lays, it catches SO MUCH! I rinse it well whenever i clean the bowl and pop it back in until the timer tells me to change it out to a new one.I also ordered replacement filters that had one come damaged and they replaced them right away!It does not have a continuous flow mode.It has a senser mode (pet is near, it flows for i think 15-20 seconds)and a timer mode. (i believe it’s 15-20 seconds every 15-20 minutes.)I have 10 cats and a dog and they all drink from it. :)Happy critters, happy mom!
