I think this fountain is pretty cool-looking, and it's nice to not have to use additional energy to have a fountain.  The solar part really only works in full sun, but it does charge the battery so you can turn it on after charging.  It has a bit of a cheap look, and the pace of the water falling is so frenetic that it's almost not a relaxing presence.  My solar panel and/or pump stopped working after a couple of months, but the manufacturer replaced them promptly and it's up and running again.
