LAWOHO Solar Fountain Pump 1.5W Upgraded Submersible Solar Water Fountain Panel Kit for Bird Bath,Small Pond,Garden and Lawn

Works immediately out of the once submerged fully and in the sun. Will not work if there is not full sun (shadows, debris, overcast, or shade impedes it completely). There are many adapters for different water flow capabilities. I suggest attaching suction cups to the bottom if you want it stationary. Otherwise it will float and be mobile which is fine if you want it to do that or if it's being used in a smaller feature. The attached tube and brackets enclosed for this purpose (to keep it in place) are an eyesore, but you do not have to use. You can also leave off all the adapters and water will just bubble out of the top very low. Pump seems durable and capable upon first use. The solar panels will actually determine the longevity of use. Price is about a 1/3 of what a corded pump what be, so take that into consideration. It's perfect, though, if you do not want an unsightly cord or want to put this somewhere where's there no power outlet and hours of full sun. It will obviously not work at night.

This fountain is still working great, going on 6 months. Will work even on slightly cloudy days. Comes with different attachments, the bigger the holes are, the water flow will not go as high. It has attracted lots of birds. Love it.

It will last for about a year or two, depending on how clean you keep the bird bath. Works great in sunlight, and is so simple to set up.

I have not installed it yet, so I can't give any details on use, it looks in good working order and just what I wanted

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a low-key bubbler as I have an average size somewhat shallow birdbath. Since this was the least expensive, I figured I would give it a try. Besides the arms being an eyesore, some complained they kept falling off. I decided to use rocks to secure it in the center as other reviews had suggested. Even that took some doing to find the proper arrangement of rocks so that it would stay put. Then came the nozzles. All but one squirted way too high (12"-14") and splashing water outside the bowl. The only one that worked for my situation was the B4 which squirted out like a mini fountain in bright sunlight. This kept all the water in the bowl. When it became cloudy, it decreased significantly. It is in some shade now and working intermittently. This is primarily what I was looking for. This is the first day so unsure how long it will last. Sorry the video is sideways. Tried everything to rotate it with no success.

Update: 07/23/23The pump was great while it worked. However, 10 weeks after receiving it, it failed and would no longer work. I don't know if the solar panel failed or the pump itself died. I haven't taken it apart to diagnose the problem. It was never run on an empty birdbath and I would clean it on a weekly basis. I would flip it over when it was out of the water so it wasn't facing the sun to prevent the motor from running without any water. One evening it stopped when the sun went down and the next morning it wouldn't start up. I've now bought a different pump that has the panel separate from the pump so that the panel isn't submerged. Let's see how long that lasts.This pump includes stabilizing straws that keep it centered in the birdbath that I bought with it. Also, one of the included nozzles sprays water horizontally which keeps the water in the birdbath. The ones that spray the water vertically end up splashing the water outside the bath and the water gets drained in 2 ~ 3 hours. With the horizontal nozzle, the water stays for up to 3 days.The pump does stop working when it's no longer in direct sunlight even if it's bright daylight and the sun is shining in other portions of the backyard. It works for 6 ~ 7 hours continuously depending on how you place it.

As other reviewers have stated, this needs to be in direct sunlight to work. This solar fountain pumps works very well and just as described. Well worth the price. Easy to set-up and it works like a charm. Very happy with this purchase.

This is the second fountain of this style I've owned. Although the fountain comes with several attachments that direct the water into a spray, I found that the straight forward gush of the unadorned fountain worked best for attracting birds. In addition, the lower height of a fountain's spray helps the water to stay in smaller vessels, so you don't have to refill them every couple of days. This fountain is simple and reliable. It emits only the gentle sound of a small water bubbler, which is enough to attract and not scare birds. A fun addition to any garden.
