We got this as a gift for our cats and was excited to start using it. However, like the other reviewers have mentioned, the water level needs to be near the rim to avoid the pump problems. I have to refill the water multiple times during the day in order to avoid the pump making noises and it's more hassle than it should be. Avoid getting this! I've unplugged it all together now.
Pros: easy to clean, Spillproof
Cons: poor quality, doesn't work

I chose this waterer because I have a small dog and a cat in the house... they drink a good bit of water. Technically, this filter holds a good bit of water. The problem is that if the level gets lower than 1/2 inch from the top, it starts to sputter and suck air. I had to remove the filter and have to add water several times a day to keep it quiet. I wish I had read the other reviews before I chose this product!
Pros: easy to clean
Cons: poor quality, doesn't work

I bought this over a year ago and found that the pump pushes more water than is filtered though thus causing the pump to suck air. Its quite noisy and aggravating. The only solution was to fill the bowl to the top which then the cats splash out. I inserted several toothpicks to raise the filter but that didnt last long. Without the filter the water gets dirty fast.
Pros: Spillproof
Cons: poor quality

I bought this item as my cat is a bowl tipper. He has responded well to a fountain in the past, but the pump on that fountain went out after about a year. I tried this as it was the lowest cost option in the store. The first problem was immediate. There was a very loud sucking noise upon filling the bowl and plugging it in. The pump pushed water out faster than it could pull it through the included filter, so it ended up sucking air and not circulating properly. I removed the filter and solved that problem. Now, six months later, the pump has failed and the bowl is nothing more than a normal water bowl and I'm back to having wet floors.
Cons: poor quality

Noisy

This bowl makes noise no matter how full I fill it. I can stop the noise for short periods if it is absolutely full and about to spill over, but the noise always starts up again. I keep it full, so the problem is not the bowl getting low on water. I would not recommend it.

I have 5 kitties, a couple who are a bit skittish. The adventureous ones went right up to it and explored it and started drinking right away. The nervous ones took about a week to adjust but once they did, decided they preferred it to the regular water bowl and I was able to take the standing water away.
It's easy to take apart to clean. I like that it's quiet and easy for them to drink from. Compared to one other fountain I tried, this is a nice simple design, multiple cats can drink at the same time, there is nothing to spook them and they like it better than a plain ole bowl.
The one thing I really don't like is transporting the bowl with water, which is of course necessary to empty it. There is an opening for the cord through the center which will inevitably spill water as you walk to your sink.
Other than that, it's great. I should mention just FYI, I don't use it with the filter.
Pros: durable, easy to clean

I have several cats, and have tried many different circulating fountains. This has been the best one so far, easy to clean, quiet and inexpensive compared to many others. My cats all used it immediately. It has been one of the easiest to keep clean, I think due to its simple design, and the pump is very easy to access to clean out. We have very hard water, and as such, are very 'hard' on circulating fountains (and coffeemakers!), but this one has been stellar for about a year with no complaints yet!
Pros: durable, easy to clean
