Nugget Smart Pet Drinking Fountain 2.5L for Cats & Dogs | Water Filtration | Silent Pump with Dry-Run Protection | Automatic Dish Cleansing

This is the best pet fountain I’ve ever used bar none. I’ve had many pet children and gone through plastic, metal, ceramic, big name expensive brands and the cheapest I could find on Amazon.I splurged a little with this one, because I usually buy the cheapest one I can find that’s still good quality, expecting it to be thrown out for a new one within 3 months. I’ve always washed my fountains every week and could tell from the first wash that this one was awesome.I started with the Catit flower fountain, then a stainless steel, then ceramic, with different filters, pumps, and systems, and all of them had gross slimy water and sometimes even mold on the inside of the fountain by the end of a week. Sometimes my cat would even tell me before the week had passed by getting sick from the gross water :( And inevitably after a few weeks of use, the pump would be loud or clogged or stop working all together.When I cleaned this one for the first time, precisely at the one week mark for fear of leaving it any longer, it looked new. Clean clear water, no floating particles, no sliminess, and no buildup. The only areas I noticed ANYTHING on were the black sponges that had actually caught all the debris. The second time, I let it go for a week and a half with only water changes - no deep cleaning (which it says you can do). My cat was still thriving and drinking from it all the time after the nearly two week wait so I washed it, fully convinced it couldn’t still be clean, but got the same results as the first time! Crystal clear water with no slime, but more buildup on the black sponges - as there should be! They’re doing their job.It’s super easy to clean - takes me all of 10 minutes to completely disassemble and do a deep clean weekly even though they say you only have to once a month. I keep it on the intermittent mode to save some power and increase its lifecycle and my cat loves trying to figure out when it will turn back on.The cord completely disconnects from the unit and every part of the fountain, even the port, is water proof so it can be fully submerged when cleaned. It’s easy to clean without a brush, though you may need one to get into the fountain tube piece, and it’s super easy to put back together when you’re finished.It’s completely silent on all settings. I can never hear the pump or water trickling and only hear the intermittent flow kick back on when the water level gets lower.The only downside (if it can even be considered one) is that it does NOT come with the 5V USB wall plug that it specifies needing for the fountain to work. I got lucky and found one laying around that I’d gotten with something else and it works perfectly. Make sure you actually find a 5V box and not something lower (not enough power to work) or higher (too much power, gets hot, fry the fountain and kill it). I’ve never had the plug get hot and have it on an extension cord with some other things and have never had an issue.Long story short, this is excellent in all the ways a pet fountain can be, and 100% worth the money and care routine, which comes with any pet fountain. Get it!!

I've tried a few different drinking fountains and this is by far the best. It's so easy to clean every part and it's so quiet! It's very easy to put together and take apart and the size has been perfect for my one cat. I've had zero leakage, but suspected it recently and realized it was just my cat playing in the water sometimes lol. I love that the not just the filter is changeable, but the part that filters out hair too. I also like that it's easy to tell me when it's time to add more water. It's subtle but I don't like getting woken up in the middle of the night because the water fountain is empty and I didn't realize it. The lights blink and it's near my television so it's so easy to catch. I got the white so I could see any dirt and grime easier. I think if I had gotten the black one, I'd prefer how it looks but it would be filthy lol. The white let's me see any dirt, hair or slime that forms.

The media could not be loaded. This product worked perfectly for a couple of months and then became insanely loud and is now unusable. This brand (for some reason) has 10x the parts of a typical water fountain, making cleaning take much longer. Regardless of this, I was content with the tedious cleaning when it worked because the price and good reviews convinced me this would work.I was wrong.The water pump is permanently attached to the lid of the fountain, making cleaning around it a burden, as well as various small parts that must be carefully taken apart and out back together when cleaning.Regardless of this all, I was content with the product until a couple of months in when it started making an unbearable rattling noise.I attempted to take apart the pump and clean it to no avail, and now recently the pump has almost completely stopped working.I have tried to put it back together in every type of way to avoid this, but am unable to do anything, ir get another pump, because it is attached to the lid for some reason. Overall I’m pretty sad with the product.

I’ve been using this water fountain since 2023 and it’s perfect! It’s very silent and only starts to make noise when it’s low. It’s very easy to clean and assemble, and the filters are inexpensive. My cat loves it and it encourages her to drink more water. After about two years the fountain I had stopped working, I reached out to customer service and they were extremely responsive and helpful. Even though the warranty is only for 1 year, they made a one-time exception and sent me a replacement.

I saw this at a friend's house and immediately bought one for my 2 cats about 8.5 months ago on Amazon. I'd shopped for fountains before but they were always too ugly, complicated, and/or noisy! I even bought a different one and gave it away it was so loud. This fountain is super quiet (both the motor and the falling water are quiet. I don't need the sound of a waterfall in my house), attractive so it fits in with my living room decor without standing out, holds a lot of water, and allows me to give my cats premium bottled water without waste. Sadly, I'm leaving for an extended trip and desperately need it to work right now for the caretaker, but no matter how much I clean or replace the filter, the water doesn't have enough pressure any longer to go into the drinking tray. It just falls back down into the unit. I actually bought another one just now to come tomorrow since I'm leaving the following day and don't have time to shop/fix/call customer service, but I sure hope I don't have a similar experience with this new one. They are a bit pricey to be replacing every 9 months!
