For the price, I guess I shouldn't expect more, but the pump inside is quite cheap looking. The fountain ball and bottom are also very light. I couldn't get the ball to be perfectly centered. I'm keeping it because it does look good and works, but I'll keep people from getting too close to see that it's cheaply made.

I sent this as a gift and when I had not heard from the recipients, I asked if there was a problem. My engineer niece and pilot nephew were having diffictuly assemblying this product. Apparently it did not come with instructions and they were attempting to contact the manufacturer to get instructions. I was surpized because the picture makes it look like it would be simple to set up.

The ball fill's with water, At the top where the tube exits the ball,there is a gap that alows the ball to fill with water', When full it weights about 8 LB.and the insert that the ball is supported by is not self aligning...the plastic disk is much smaller than the dia. of the tube ? If it were made to fit tighter it would automaticly align the ball....The base plate should be heaver.

I thougth it could be used outdoors, however, the enclosed product brochure notes that outside use voids the warranty. Also, the power cord is too short, in my case I needed an extention cord.

True the ball is not perfectly centered - but still love this fountain. We put it in a whiskey barrel and plant annuals around it. Really looks great. We have had it for 2 seasons now.

It was easy to assemble and it arrived quickly! Looks great in my yard!
