Beautiful Modern Fountain
I love this little fountain! It's been going in our house 24/7 for over 2 months, and has worked fine.
We keep it on the floor of our dining room, where the lovely water sound can be heard throughout the first floor of our house. The sound of the running water is very pleasant and relaxing. The water flow is good, and unlike some other fountains the water doesn't get "stuck" on a level but flows continuously through. The illumination is subtle and nice, brighter then a night light mostly because of the water reflections that play across the walls.
The only down side I've found is that it isn't a 360 degree view fountain - the back isn't as attractive as the front, so you will want to keep the back against a wall. For the price, this wasn't a big deal to me.
Overall, it's a great fountain for the money.
Note: when you first get the fountain, it's important follow the instructions to wash both the fountain and the stones well before use. Homedics says most noise problems people report are caused by dust and grime from skipping this step are caused by people who do not do this. Once a week, take 5 minutes to give it a good rinse in the kitchen sink and refill it with clean water, and it will last you a long time.
A prior reviewer writes: "you can't adjust the amount of water flow like many fountains can." That's not true. Page 7 of the instructions shows you how to adjust the water flow, and even has a diagram of how to set the flow control lever (figure 9). So YES, you can adjust the pump's water flow.

Pretty but loud
I wanted to like this fountain because it is very pretty with the water flowing over the shiny silver surfaces but the sound of the motor is very loud, too loud to really appreciate the sound of the flowing water. Also you can't adjust the amount of water flow like many fountains can. It is all plastic which doesn't really matter but the description says metal and plastic so if you are expecting that you will be disappointed.
