I really am enjoying this fountain.  It makes a great focal point in the patio area.  The light is a nice addition for the evening hours.  I do think that it is a little louder than other fountains I've looked at.  Very easy set up right out of the box.  The one thing I wasn't thrilled about was having to plug and unplug.  To solve that problem I purchased a timer that will turn it off and on throughout the day.
