Classic Home & Garden 11006-VG Dorset Water Fountain, Verdigris

This is made well and works flawlessly. Good sound. Great for the price

Aesthetically beautiful. Works good in our space. Small imperfections affected water flow. Figured it out with adjutments to the ball. Otherwise 5 stars.

I love the fountain. Easy assembly. My only issue is that the fountain arrived with a couple of chipped corners.

The media could not be loaded.  The fountain came in a plain cardboard box about 3x3x2. It was packed in styrofoam forms. The instructions are on one piece of paper and show a few small not terribly clear pictures. The written information is in English but seems like it was poorly translated from another language. Nevertheless, I found it relatively easy to assemble, but I do have another fountain so I'm generally familiar with how they work. You will need a small Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the hose clamp. I had it extricated, assembled, filled, and flowing in less than 30 minutes. My other fountain has four small diameter pools that attract lots of birds daily, but are not shallow enough for hummers. I'm hoping this fountain will entice the many hummingbirds that frequent my feeders. I have seen several videos showing them enjoying ball fountains. As you can see, the water-covered ball is a deep mossy green in the shade, while the dry base reminds me of the color of lichens, kind of a pale blue with olive colored streaks. Also, the base is tapered wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which isn't always obvious in some of the photos. There is also an adjustable water flow dial on the pump hose and some special shims if you can't get it level for an even cascade. The fountain material feels and sounds like ceramic or fired clay, and it's not too heavy. However I would not want to drop either piece or knock it over because I'm pretty sure it would chip and/or fracture. I've read that it requires a lot of refilling, but so does my other fountain, so we'll see. So far, I am pleased with this fountain and hope the hummers find it soon.

This product is not at all as advertised. No matter how level the surface, the water sloshes over the sides of the reservoir when on. We have had to refill the water every day we use it.

I thought because water was not exposed in base as some of the rock fountains I wouldn't have to fill it every day and why I chose style.....I have to fill it every day, sometimes twice. Either it is leaking in base or evaporating that fast - very disappointed as I have a fountain in backyard I have yet to have to add water to in a month that is in direct sunlight.

The pump seems to clog frequently so that’s a nuisance. Not sure if it’s just not enough power to keep clean and clear or what. It’s located under a covered porch area, so I wouldn’t think it would get so slimy so quickly. Also requires to be filled often due to size.

I have no hesitation using these in a commercial setting. easy to adjust the water flow, the pump is easliy replacable if it burns out. They even provide shims to help you level it.
