We love it. Worked well immediately and the lights make it really relaxing at night. It only splashes if we fill it too much but since it’s in the porch, it’s fine. The water sound is loud enough to hear from the other side of the porch. It’s not as high as our space demands so we temporarily lifted it on a crate but we’re building a stand for it. In a smaller space I think it would work well. I’d purchase again.
