One of the most-rated fountains on Amazon, with a big 3 L capacity and an easy-to-clean design. Noise is its sore point: Wirecutter found the Catit Flower one of the loudest it tested, with a constant hum, and Amazon owners are split on noise.
Top complaints
- Persistent motor hum
Wirecutter found the Catit Flower Fountain one of the loudest models it tested, with a low hum audible from the next room, and notes that several online reviews mention the buzzing. Noise level is mixed on Amazon. Cats.com, by contrast, heard only a faint, nearly imperceptible hum.
- Breaks after a few months; flimsy
Quality is a negative aspect and durability is mixed on Amazon, with some owners reporting breakage after four months. Cats.com says it isn't very sturdy and pets can tip it.
- Fiddly petal; filter clogs with hair
Wirecutter had trouble disconnecting the LED version's flower petal and says the mini reservoirs never pooled water consistently. Cats.com notes there's no prefilter, so the exposed carbon filter catches hair and debris quickly.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Former pick, now under The Competition: attractive, roomy and easy to clean, but one of the loudest it tested. The LED version adds a light, but its petal is harder to remove.
- Cats.com: Best budget (Catit Flower Fountain): large capacity and easy to clean, but not very sturdy, with no prefilter. It estimates about $31-62 a year in filters.
- The Spruce Pets: Listed under 'Also great' as a highly rated model, but the outlet says it did not test it.
