 Easy to Use. Time Saver.Jan 11, 2011
By Mumbo Jumbo
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XJSMGFX2UJ3V I have a 45lb dog and 2 cats so the fountain motor would be yelling at me right after one visit from the dog. It got so bad that my dog started avoiding the fountain and ate the snow outside instead. Guess she was tired of hearing the motor followed by my complaints. So I finally decided that I would buy the reservoir and continue with my laziness. I'm glad I did! 70 oz is the way to go!
I was worried that it would leak, like some reviews said, but there's only a small opening at the bottom of the clear plastic reservoir which drains water down into the fountain. As long as you line it up and tip it slowly, you won't have any messy spills. Very easy to install.
Hopefully I'll have a video review up soon showing the ease of putting it on.
Update: Sorry about the bad quality of the video, I recorded it with my ipod touch.

Great Addition With Maybe 1 Desirable Feature MissingJun 22, 2010
By Mr Goodwrench
First let me say that if you are deciding between the 50 ounce & the 70 ounce, go with this one. It is not as tall & narrow as I anticipated based on the picture. I have had no issues with leaking as some other reviewers have stated. I find it easy to fill and attach with minimal spillage, even with the neuropathy I have in my hands. The feature that I wish it had is a removable cap on the top of the clear plastic reservoir. If it did, you wouldn't have to remove it to refill it. I plan to correct this with a hole and rubber stopper, but that's just me. It is not that hard to reattach. The difficult part is removing it when it isn't empty. You might ask: "Why remove it when it contains water?" I like to completely fill it before a trip so that the fountain does not run out. In the past we had to turn the fountain off before longer trips so that it wouldn't run low and damage the pump. With a resealable hole in the reservoir, you can top it off with minimal effort. With a dry food dispenser and a large reserve of fresh water we can now safely leave our cat relatively unattended for longer periods with little fuss. That is, except for the inevitable scolding we get upon our return. Spoiled cat!

Must-Have and Time-Saving AccessoryOct 11, 2007
By P. E. Allen
"PhillipInMariettaGeorgia"
The 70oz Reservoir for our DrinkWell really helps my wife and I save time on refilling and keeping fresh water readily available for our four-legged family members. Since we have two cats, which recently turned one-year old, they really like to drink LOTS of water from their DrinkWell filtered fountain. Interestingly, our Burmese likes to drink water mid-stream just after it flows from the outflow nozzle, but our Siamese likes to drink from the pool where the water waits to be filtered and cleaned. A must-have add-on to keep your precious small family members watered, healthy and happy!

 Flimsy, and the Drinkwell platinum is cheaper once you shell out for this attachmentJul 12, 2010
By A4Q96
"Gadget Lover"
Why couldn't they get the capacity of this fountain right in the first place???
The issues:
1. This attach on reservoir has little attachment tabs (you can see them in the front of the pic) that snap off if you are not careful.
2. Attaching it on means there is a gap between the fountain and the attachment resevoir, and we inevitably end up with water on the floor in the gap.
If you are really careful, you can avoid it, but had they designed it as one piece from the outset, you'd have a much better fountain.
We paid less for the Drinkwell Platinum once you add up the cost of the Drinkwell Original+Resevoir.

Awesome!Oct 19, 2009
By Georg Katzer
"GCK"
Now we never have to panic about refilling the water to avoid having the pump running dry. We have one thirsty cat but now the perfect filling level is provided automatically for 1 whole week instead of 1 day (without extra water reservoir). Also very handy when we go away for a weekend!
