VIVOHOME Polyresin Antique Outdoor Bronze Garden Bird Bath and Solar Powered Round Pond Fountain Combo Set

Bought this for my mom. She loves feeding birds outside the house, so I figured this would be a nice gift.It looks nice. The fountain is great. Looks good and functions really well. It includes different tips for different water effects which is also great.And I love that the water moves so less cleaning and less still water equals less bugs.I set it up for her. It’s very easy. It came with instructions, but honestly it’s just screwing a few pieces together and tapping a few stakes in the ground.I glued the solar pump down in the center and put some aquarium glass stones in to keep the pump centered.It’s a nice little addition to her yard.Negatives:It’s plastic so it’s not the most sturdy or strongest thing…. But that also makes it light and easy to set up. The stakes make it very sturdy.You’d probably have to weigh it down if placed on concrete.Glueing the pump so it doesn’t move, works great. But, it also means it will be harder to replace the pump if it stops working. For the price though (I got this on a flash sale), that’s not the biggest deal. Plus the pump will cover any glue residue or scratches if the pump needed to be replaced.So all in all I give it a 9/10.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to assemble, yes as reviews states that when windy the pump will float to the side and the water sprinkles will go outside the bowl, draining in few minutes all the water and pumping dry !! I will glue the pump in the center with silicone , will help with a lite wind condition. Giving 4 stars because there is no control on the pump power and if you get a small slice of shade on the pump the power drains almost to a stop. The water issue with wind would be on any brand. Updated with my fix. Double sided tape on the bottom of the pump will stop the pump from floating around on windy days and drain the water, make sure you sand the paint where the masking tape will stick. Adjusted the solar panel with a masking black tape to a tune where the water pump was not so strong. Now it’s working great and issues fixed.

The media could not be loaded. I agree with other posters about having to mount the pump somehow in the middle of the bird bath because when it runs full spray it floats and sprays outside the birdbath using all the water and you have to constantly refill. It’s been over 24 hrs and yesterday was a day of full sun. I put rocks in it to stabilize the pump (the rocks in the middle on top are not in the way of the solar panels, they are there to weigh the pump down so it is fully submerged in water-as that was an issue too). First day I had a really pretty fountain spraying constantly. But on the second full day it sprays only about 4 inches high and then nothing. Then sprays again about 4” high. I’ve ordered another one to see if perhaps this pump is defective and will update when I know. It’s all pretty. I can’t wait to see birds bathing!**UPDATE** After another 24 hours of use, I realized, as others have mentioned, that it doesn't store the solar energy; the bubbler works based on how much sun it's getting at the time. It was sunny on my second day of use, but there were some clouds, so I believe that is why the bubbler wasn't spraying full spray.To note: I filled the stand with sand to weigh it down since I can't use the stakes (My bird bath is sitting on top of a septic pump cover) and I decided I would add another rock to cover one of the panels to decrease the full spray so I wouldn't have to refill as often. It gives just enough bubble in full sun now so hopefully the water stays agitated enough during the daylight hours (will not run at night or on cloudy days) so that mosquitoes won't breed there. I think decreasing the fountain of the bubbler will also work better since I get some wind bursts that would typically blow the water out of the bowl even with it mounted in the middle of the bowl. The smaller the fountain, the more water stays in the bowl.To me, this is a great find and worth the money. I've now watched birds bathing and drinking water. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.Now.. does anyone know what I could put in there to keep the algae at bay? I don't have any yet, and can't find any older real copper pennies. Should I just buy a piece of copper?**2nd UPDATE: I still LOVE the birdbath! But the pump already stopped working! Guess I'll have to purchase a new pump. One that will stay centered so that I don't have to use rocks.

The bird bath itself is nice and easy to assemble, light weight. The fountain works great but I have tried all the heads, which seem to look the same as far as the fountain goes. If you leave any of the heads on it, the water is thrown out of the bath. I can only use the fountain without a head, just a slow bubble up as to keep the water level in the bath.

Overall I really like the bird bath. It was a little flimsy at first but we filled it with dirt and that helped alot. The solar panel works well and doesn't need to be charged at all for it to work. The only thing I will say is if the bird bath is in shade then the sprinkler won't work.

This bird bath looks great in my yard; it looks as if it is metal, buts it's so much lighter and is easy to clean. The solar fountain works well and the price is good for both items.

First-if you want to use this on a flat surface you can’t because it’s cockeyed. Second-the fountain part floats around and sprays water all outside the basin. To keep enough water in the basin to keep the fountain flowing-you literally have to stand next to it and add water as soon as possible. Water does not last in this. Third-the solar part of this does not store any energy so on a cloudy day-no fountain. Which also means the lights don’t ever work.Overall-it’s meh for the intended purpose. It is kind of nice on the hot days to sit next to it and get sprinkled with water.
