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

Good price and works well. The automatic low water shutoff is great feature. I would recommend taking off the rubber suction feet when cleaning the pump in vinegar. The rubber feet will fall apart and no longer work. I wish there was a way to replace the feet. Might just have to order another one.

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.

It worked well just not for my intended purpose ended up getting an electric pump to push enough water to desired location!

This is the second pump we have ordered to use in our bird baths. When we received it, the solar panel didn't work. We tested it with the other solar panel, and the pump worked fine. I took the chance and emailed the customer service for the product directly specifically letting them know we only needed a new panel. Not only did I get a response the next day, I received a whole new pump kit within a few days. Way above my expectations considering it was such a low cost product.

At first I was really excited to make a fun little birdbath for my hummingbirds. It took some trial and error to find the right spot. This does not work in any kind of shade, so I have to keep moving the solar panel throughout the day to keep it running because the shade keeps moving. Finally found a spot and a couple of birds actually used it. The pressure was perfect and I was stoked. But only two weeks in, it stopped working. I tinkered with it the first time it happened and it started up again, but the next day it failed again and no amount of tinkering would get it to budge. I am so heartbroken. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was. The instructions say that the water shouldn't be more than 4" above the pump. I tried not to exceed that. It's very hot here (114° yesterday), so I don't know if that affects things or not. I loved it; it worked great until it didn't.
