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

These solar fountains work great. This is the second one that I’ve purchased for bird baths for hummingbirds. Because hummingbirds are territorial, I have placed them away from each other and close to a feeder on opposite sides of my yard. They do work without direct sunlight, although the spray will be lessened and even intermittent if partly cloudy conditions. Comes with lots of spay nozzle choices, easy set up instructions. Good value for the price.

Love it, works great, lots of different attachments, perfect for my deck fountain!

I’ve only had it a month and a half and it stopped working. I tried troubleshooting by cleaning it and even soaked the pump in vinegar in case hard water was the problem. I’m bummed because it was really nice for a little while! UPDATE: Literally the day after writing that review it randomly started to work. The sun has been shining all along so not sure what was up with it but it’s nice to have it back!

Great product. Love the different spout choices.

So this product does work, but it doesn’t work well. You HAVE TO have the whole solar panel in the sun for it to work; not 99% but 100% sun. Super frustrating because it will quit working immediately if a shadow or brief shade crosses the solar panel. The motor is loud too. I stopped using this product about one week after I started using it.

Worked great for a whole day. There’s sun, no interference from anything on the solar part and the motor is not moving. I was going to do a return but it wants to charge me about what I would get back so it’s not worth my time.

My wife wanted this for a small bird bath she was setting up for hummingbirds. They prefer a gentle shower and this unit is perfect. It has a nice flow without being overly aggressive. It comes with several different nozzles, each giving a different spray pattern. It must be in direct sun in order to operate, but even once the sun has gone over it still continues to work for quite a while, just not as strongly. It was easy to put together. It’s a nice little unit for a surprisingly reasonable price. Because there is no place in our yard that has full sun, it only works part of the time. This is no fault of the unit in any way. There is a large maple in the yard to the east of us, another to the west, three more large maples at the southern edge of our lot and three very tall fruit trees in our yard. There is no spot in the entire yard that receives direct sunlight for more than 4-5 hours. Take this into consideration before you choose any solar unit. Watch the sun over the course of the day. If you have enough direct sun, this unit will be great. I am not subtracting any stars from this review, as our problem is not the fault of the unit, but ours for failing to take neighboring trees into consideration. When it has the direct sun it runs at full capacity, when it doesn’t it still runs, but not quite as strongly. On a recent heavily hazy and overcast day, it started later in the morning and only ran at about half the height it is capable of, but it was still pretty awesome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to add sound and motion to a bird bath. I am including a picture of it running in direct sunlight and another with the same nozzle on the hazy, overcast day so you can see how it performs. There’s still plenty of motion, water drops and sparkling sounds to keep the birds happy. We solved our problem by purchasing another bird bath and another bubbler to place on the opposite side of the yard. One starts earlier than the other, one runs later and during the day they both run for a while.

This is the second year that I’ve purchased an outdoor solar fountain. It needs to be fully charged by the sun before working. No batteries needed. It has a set of different nozzles that you can use to adjust the height of the spray. Needs to be cleaned occasionally. Comes with plastic sticks to help keep in one floating position. Or you can let it float around. You do need to continuously add water if you want the fountain to work. It will only work when the sun is on it. It doesn’t work best if it’s a shady day. I’ve enjoyed this and had many compliments. The water flow is a nice stream. It’s very durable. Looks wonderful. Easy to assemble.

I got this for my nursery class water area. It wasn’t very durable for little hands. It is probably fine for your garden though and works really well under sunlight. It is small but really nice garden feature.

Bought this for my birdbath - as others have noted, it definitely needs direct sun to work. I take it in over the winter and it has survived 3 years so far. The thing I am most impressed with is that the crows have taken to flinging it out of the bird bath (or flipping it over, or pecking out the filter sponge) - it has survived a number of drops onto the brick patio. Little birds aren't afraid of it and enjoy splashing about. I don't use the spray nozzles with it as it goes too high and empties my birdbath...

average product, only works under direct strong sun

Cómo ya lo dicen otros comentarios cuando pasa la nube o está nublado llega apagarse o baja la intensidad del flujo del agua, pero a nosotros nos encantó, está en una “charola de barro” que pudimos convertir fuente gracias a esto y a los pajaritos les encanta!!!

Solar powered so we should be good for the next four billion years. Does operate in shade but very weakly - bright sun produces a healthy fountain enough for a small pond (ours is about a metre deep and about four metres square) and a satisfying trickling noise. Very easy to set up and to maintain. Warning - do not refill your pond whilst it’s running as it seems to hate the sludge/ soil/ gunk that’s thrown up so take it out, refill and let the water clear a little before returning it to the pond. It has stopped working so I took it apart (following the instructions) did nothing other than stare blankly at the bits, put it together and it worked again and has done since.
