Biling Solar Fountain for Bird Bath, Solar Panel Kit Outdoor Solar Water Pump with 4ft Tubing for Hummingbird Bath, Small Pond and Fish TankGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

First this product had a little defect due to lose attachment. But they were able to exchange and shipped easily. This fountain is the one I've been looking for. With solar panel and it's higher than the one I had before for my bird bath. I am actually impressed with this product. A must buy if you're looking for a solar water fountain.

The media could not be loaded. I read all the reviews before I purchased this, and in spite of the complaints about random shadows ceasing the fountain activity, I bought it anyway. The reviews are true and correct, any slight interference with the sun (passing clouds, overcast skies, my own shadow, etc.) does cause the pump to halt immediately. This solar panel does not store the suns power - not even a smidge - so if that's what you need, this is not the product for you. However, for my purposes, this is perfect. My goal was to create a hummingbird fountain and provide a daily water source for my hummers and butterflies. I don't need the pump to run at night, that would just cause faster evaporation. Even when the pump is not running, there is still a water source for my friends, as I have it set up to keep a small bowl full. When the sun shines again, the pump resumes it's purpose of recycling the water and keeps it moving. I can't really speak to longevity yet because I've only had this for about a week now and so far it has not disappointed. If it does, I'll come back and update.The pump arrived on time and was neatly packaged. All the parts were there and in perfect condition. Comes with a little instruction manual too and was very easy to assemble. I included a measuring tape with my pictures to show the panel size, it is pretty small, but it does the job as intended. I do wish the cord was longer because I would love to have mounted the panel on my roof - once the sun sets past my awning my little fountain is done for the day. The clear hose has a curve to it from being in the package which resulted in the fountain not shooting straight up, it wants to maintain the curve resulting in a lop-sided spray. To resolve this, I found a small piece of red PVC laying around and ran the clear hose up through it to keep it pointed straight up - worked perfect.I saw a review or two that said the tips don't fit the hose but after a bit of persuasive wiggling the tip went on and worked as advertised. In fact the tips worked so well that they sprayed higher than I needed for this project so I did a bit of modifying to my hose and PVC contraption until I got the spray height I wanted. Again, keep in mind that the height of the spray is directly related to the strength of the sun. Strong sun = strong spray. And I can switch the tips whenever I want. Btw, there is no ON-OFF switch on this, but not to worry, once the water at the bottom of the planter (or pond or whatever you use) gets too low, the pump automatically shuts off so that it doesn't burn itself out. I like that a lot.So, I guess it's all about what you will be using it for. I am super happy with mine and plan to create another fountain for my rock garden. I will be buying again.

I would give five stars but unlike my cheaper solar pumps, this doesn’t hold solar charge and only works when being hit straight in by sunlight. If I walk past, my shadow causes the pump to stop.Other than that, it has good suction power and water flows really nice

Works good as long as the sun's out.

Everything working fine .Happy with product.Fast delivery.

My only complaint is that the solar panel must be in direct sunlight for the pump to work. If there is a little bit of shade from plants covering the panel the pump will stop. The power cord is long pretty long so you can move the solar panel to the best spot to keep the pump running. The pump is good, it puts out a nice flow of water & its super simple to customize the spray pattern of the fountain. Everything seems well built for the price & it sets up in a few minutes. All in all I am happy with this.

Works great in my fountain bird bath. Battery stays charged for long periods & love its solar, cause placing is not an issue! Pump gives a good water flow with good power! 100% satisfied

Only works when sun is hitting the solar panel, it doesnt store energy at all. It did come with a nice assortment of spray nozzles so that it nice.
