Customer Reviews for Smart Solar Chatsworth Antique Bronze Two-Tier Solar on Demand Fountain

Easy to assemble. Very attractive.

When it’s in FULL sun the fountain works. supposed to have a battery back up to keep it running through intermittent clouds but has not despite turning the fountain off for a day or 2 to charge. NB stick it to a heavy stone base. It’s light weight. either a bird or squirrel etc toppled it. center section punctured the basin. Fixed with bondo and spray paint and liquid nailed to a 16” square paver it’s nice and solid. Requires a wash out and sponge filter clean about once a week or so.

Was everything I expected

This is a well-built solar fountain that arrived with an excellent set of assembly instructions. I was able to put the fountain together in a less than half an hour. The instructions also included a very clear set of troubleshooting suggestions in the event you forget to do something during the assembly process. The fountain has worked flawlessly since we bought it and is well worth the money spent.

This fountain is very nice, it works well, easy to assemble and it looks expensive.

Easy to use and low maintenance if you use just a couple drops of a bird and insect friendly algae controller.

Highly recommend! It’s a nice sturdy fountain . Great quality. Color is a bronzy black with hint of brown. Easy to put together! And the solar fountain portion works great! also very easy to put together . It’s amazingly I love it. Highly recommend

A very nice fountain. Simple to put together, though you need to hold the solar panel in place when pushing it through to connect to the pump as they need to join together. A nice selection of pump tops to give different water patterns. Easy to switch on and off when required. Simple to lift off the top to clean when required.

Easy set up, looks great, birds are happy

Doesn’t work very well and water drips out of the top of the fountain. Even on sunny days not worth the money- I wish I could return for a refund

Lightweight, but solid enough not to blow over in a windstorm - even a strong one. This is easy to assemble and works well. I enjoy not having to plug it in.

solar panel does not work

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

This item was nice looking but it only worked for two days. We left it in direct sun for two days to recharge the batteries but the pump wouldn't work so we returned it.

No problems. Small set of assembly instructions to follow then add water. Been running it on warm sunny days and enjoying.

Very pretty fountain. Produces a nice sound. Solar works well but doesn’t shoot up very far, maybe an inch and a 1/2 at the most.

Pump is so week it barely has the pressure to push water through it, It does not work id the sun goes behind the clouds. its a nice looking fountain, but functionally is terrible. I would have returned it, but the packaging was thrown out. Not a good value for the money.

I am pleased with my solar fountain. Easy setup and very soothing sound. It’s been less than a month since setting it up so I am hoping it continues to please. The actual color is a little darker than depicted.

Good quality. Packaging for shipment was good. Heavy enough but not too heavy to handle. Has been working fine for days.

Product as described. Easy to install. So far so good.

It was suppose to be bronze, but it is black.

I received this 2 days ago. And it doesn't even deserve ONE star. This piece of garbage does NOT work no matter how many times I follow the troubleshooting instructions. I put it together (I've had several fountains like this in the past with no problem), placed it in a sunny area, filled it with water.... and NOTHING. I took it apart. I followed all instructions for troubleshooting and.... NOTHING. So I took it apart again, triple-checked all connections, put it back together in its sunny spot, filled it with water. And again, the same result. Sadly I recycled the box in which I received it, or I'd send it back. Instead it's going to the garbage dump. Don't waste your money. Calling the phone number on the instructions (813-343-5775) sends you to a voice mail for a different phone number (770-337-2951). Good luck getting help with this one from the manufacturer!

Easy to assemble, works all day long in the sun and holds the charge through some clouds. Just what I wanted.

This fountain is almost perfect. I really can't complain about anything except for the fact if any clouds get between the Sun and solar panel, the water stops. It'd be nice if this had a small battery that could stop some of the power that is generated, but it doesn't. Shame. The claim it has a battery must be for another model, as this one does not....or it's hidden someplace I cant find and doesn't work. Either way, it's good enough for me.

I would agree with the previous reviewer that the solar recharge feature could be improved, along with the battery storage capacity, such that the product would continue to run after sunset and well into the evening. I have tried leaving it turned off for a day to fully recharge the batteries, which results in a moderate increase in operating time, however it will only run for a few hours without direct sun. Otherwise the fountain looks great on our deck, and I have not noticed any other problems with quality or durability. It is also very light and easy to move around, such that it can be placed wherever desired. The price is a bit high, wish I had waited to purchase until now as it is currently marked down. Otherwise I am reasonably satisfied.

I would recommend this fountain to a friend as long as they understand the battery only charges in direct sunlight and the fountain is off. That does not make sense to me. It should charge even when running so in the evening it could be enjoyed for awhile. It is black not bronze and the finish is coming off after one week where the water pours out. Overall I like it but the description was misleading. And the directions were barely helpful.
