I’ve never had a fountain but this one is perfect.  I love the color, the height, the sound it makes, the lights.  My husband suggested getting one of our remote controlled plugs that we use for Christmas lights so I can turn it of and on with a click of a button rather than plugging in each time. I added colored marble-like stones bc the lights were pretty bright.  It’s beautiful at night.  I feel like I’m at a luxurious spa or resort.  It does splash a bit so I wouldn’t want it on a good wood floor.  I’ve placed plants around it and have it on my covered porch.  I’m still working on plant placement.
I’ve only had a couple weeks so I hope it lasts.  I noticed one day it quit running but I added water and it started tight back up
