Overview

PETLIBRO's Dockstream is built around a lithium-ion battery rather than a cord, so it can sit anywhere in the house or even outdoors without being tied to an outlet. It holds 2.5 liters (about 84oz) and pairs a BPA-free plastic body with a stainless steel drinking tray, which is easier to keep clean than an all-plastic surface.

At 2.55 pounds and about 9.25 by 6.54 by 6.3 inches, it is a mid-sized unit that should fit most counters or floor corners. PETLIBRO backs it with a 24 month warranty and rates it for indoor and outdoor use, which is notable since most electric fountains are indoor-only.

With roughly 10,115 ratings at a 4.2 star average and about 3,000 units bought in the past month, this is one of the more established cordless fountains on the market, priced at $47.99.
