Nicely made and clean, modern lines but smaller than I expected, even knowing the dimensions. Constructed in a way which will make it impossible to drain fully, and dampens any waterfall sound, but does have the advantage of staying cleaner of falling debris. With this in mind, I don't know why there is a channel in the top, it's redundant and unnecessary. I was hoping to have basin full of water for birds and butterflies, but it's covered with metal, there are filaments to guide the water and a spongy prefilter in the basin to keep out debris, but those all reduce sound. I wish all fountains came with video clips to compare the sound - this one is more urinal than waterfall. Light is a fairly neutral around 4000k, not warm but not cold led colour either. Looks quite nice but lacking the scale and impact I was expecting and doesn't serve two of its main purposes. Good value and build compared to others of even smaller size.
