Veken Innovation Award Winner Stainless Steel Cat Water Fountain, 95oz/2.8L Automatic Pet Fountain with 3 Replacement Filters & 3 Pre-Filter Sponges & Silicone Mat for Cats, Dogs (Silver)

After using the TomXCute version for a bit, we decided to switch to this cat water fountain based on some reviews we read. Very glad we did!1. Really easy to clean. Stainless is a must for keeping things clean, and this unit doesn't have as many plastic parts and nooks-and-crannies that the tomxcute brand has. That thing would get grimly and take a long time to clean. This model is super simple, and takes no time at all.2. The filtration system seems better. This uses a large filter with dual cleaning, and a filter for the pump. With less areas for bacteria to accumulate, it seems like these filters last a long time too.3. Very quiet. Can't hear it at all. There are some instances where the vibration can cause a sound, but you just move the lid a little and it goes away.Overall, we love this fountain so much we bought two of them. Mainly because its so much easier to clean than the tomxcute brand, and the cats love how the water comes out. Definitely needed when you have a renal kitty!

I don't always write a review, so you know this is good. I've been through about 4 cat fountains in less than 2 years. I got this Jan 2025, it's been 6 months and ZERO issues. This pump is great, quiet, and the reservoir is big enough that I can refill about once a week and I have 3 cats. All three of my cats accepted it readily and drink a ton. The stainless has zero biofilm build up, so much healthier for the kitties! Lastly, and for me this is a biggie, it is EASY to clean. No biofilm, no crud, super easy to take apart and clean. I assume the filters are great as the water in the reservoir seems clean when I take it apart. The pump has an easy to wash, but also replaceable, sponge type filter that grabs fur. The pump pops apart easily and is super simple to clean. No pulling the impeller out of the middle of the pump and dropping it. You can get a decent sized box of replacement filters and a few sponge filters for the pump at the same time. Highly recommend. Note: it'll get a little louder if it's getting low on water.

I’ve had some older Veken water fountain models for a few years, and they have been great. I just bought this model to replace my oldest plastic model, and it is an improvement in every single way, which you rarely see anymore.Basically every piece on this model is much easier to clean than my old plastic model, which would get some nasty buildup in some hard to reach crevices that was a pain to clean out.This model eliminated all of those cleaning pain points, and there are really no annoying cracks and crevices anymore. I can easily clean with just a sponge and a pipe cleaner for the filter — I don’t have to use all my brushes anymore. Also, the spout unscrews for easy cleaning which the old model didn’t do. Even the new solution for the cord coming out of the back is better and eliminates another annoying corner to clean.The metal material is a nice touch as well. Overall very happy, and my cats couldn’t wait for me to plug it in!

35 years of cat experience here. I'd like to address all of the functionality and even some previous reviews to provide the best expectations possible. I have been trying to find ways for my cat to drink more water. She loves drinking from the sink but that is not always an option for her. A fountain seemed to be the best alternative. This is my 4th fountain as I search for the best, and I can say already, that this is not it, but it's not a bad choice either. I'll hit everything as bullets:- The motor makes some noise but not much. More when the water is low. The sound of the water trickling is louder. Depending on the cat, this may be too much noise. Still too early to tell for my cat. I have seen her opt for a water bowl in a different room several times instead of this fountain.- The direction of the light on the motor is a non issue, contrary to some reviews. Yes, it's facing the wrong way, but it does not matter. Turn the motor with the wire facing the correct way, and the light still illuminates the opening.- The filter is bigger than most, but just sits there. There are cracks around the edges water can get through easily. This makes it more important to replace the water every day. The filter is just for food pieces, saliva, and fur.- The pan is 2 pieces. One for the drinking, and one below to hold the filter. It's a strange design, and frankly a bit inconvenient when cleaning. There is no ledge to lift it when picking it up, so you have to be careful as the two pans do not fasten to anything either.- The tube water is pulled from is plastic. Strange choice as this is the place mold will grow the most aside from the motor.- Cleaning: people tend to complain about how frequently they have to clean these fountains. It's your cat's water bowl. Clean it. Put some effort in your cat's health. A thorough clean at least once a week (for one cat) is all it needs and you're good. Change the filter at least once a week (for 1 cat) and give it fresh (preferably pre filtered water) every day. All of these fountains take some effort to clean and properly maintain, it's just part of it. No way around it, but it's for your cat's health.- The 360 spout was a change for me, and I haven't seen a difference in behavior from my cat because of it yet.All this said, I have had this fountain for a few days now, so it's a bit early to tell if it makes a difference for my cat. Everything else, cleaning, functionality, etc., I'd rate this in between most stainless steel fountains. Not the worst, not the best, but it was as I expected it to be given the design.
