Cat Water Fountain Stainless Steel: 74oz/2.2L Cat Fountain for Drinking Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

['This is a corded, always-on fountain built around a stainless steel bowl rather than plastic or ceramic, which matters if your cat is picky about plastic taste or you just prefer to wipe down metal instead of scrubbing it. The 2.2 liter capacity is on the smaller side for the cat fountain category, so it suits one or two cats better than a multi-pet household.', 'The listed features point to a multi-layer filtration system paired with an ultra-quiet pump, and the whole unit is described as easy to take apart for cleaning, which is one of the more common complaints with cheap fountains that fuse the housing together. It runs on a low 5 volt power supply through a standard cord rather than batteries.', "At under 20 dollars it's priced like an entry-level fountain, but it carries an 18 month warranty, which is longer than a lot of fountains in this price range, and it has racked up over 11,500 ratings at a 4.4 average, so it's clearly moving in volume."]

Performance notes

Runs on 5 volt corded power rather than battery, so there's no charging to manage, just a cord to route. The stainless bowl pairs with a replaceable filter and sponge, and the listing calls out an ultra-quiet pump, which is worth confirming against your own cat's noise tolerance since fountain pumps vary a lot in real-world sound levels as they wear in.
