 better and cheaper than DrinkwellOct 05, 2006
By A Reader
I first bought another brand of these called the Drinkwell. With the optional resevoir and cleaning kit and with shipping it cost me $70. The Drinkwell has a relatively loud pump noise that comes from under the bowl part which spooked the cats the first few days (ands drives me nuts so I have to unplug it at night even though it's three rooms away from my bedroom). but once they got over the noise, the cats loved it so much that I would have liked a second (I have multiple food/water stations) but the price made that impossible.
The other day I was at my local grocery store and they had this Bubbler for $14.99. I couldn't believe it and snatched one up.
Let me say, this one is not only considerably cheaper, but holds more water than the Drinkwell, is easier to clean than the Drinkwell and is quieter than the Drinkwell. I so regret spending that much money on the Drinkwell now.
The Bubbler air pump is not in the bowl, it connects to it by a hose so the little bit of noise from it is far enough away as to not spook the cats. The noise it does makes reminds me of those water fountains people put in their homes now, it's just the sound of air bubbles in water. There's only two pieces, the bowl and tank, and both go in my dishwasher.
The Drinkwell, has multiple parts, plus you have to clean the pump itself, and buying the cleaning kit is a must to get into the corners and angles that are all over the various pieces. Plus the Drinkwell uses filters which have to be changed. No filters in the Bubbler.
I take in strays and have 14 cats at the moment. I so wish I have found the Bubbler first so that I could have bought one for each feeding station I have rather than have spent so much on one Drinkwell.

The Bubbler WorksJan 08, 2007
By W. R. Kyzer
After doing tons of research on many different models, I bought the Bubbler. Many of the other product reviews talked about difficulty of cleaning and the necessity of keeping the water at a certain level. I personally don't believe that water filtration is a big deal. Cats just want water that tastes fresh and is reasonably clean. Within minutes of the arrival of the Bubbler, I had it up and running. The water tank is large and holds a great deal of water. This is important if you have more than one pet drinking out of it. Right away, my cats were attracted to the sound. One of my cats sat beside it and played with the water for 20-30 minutes. The reason I started looking for this product is that my tabletop water fountain died and my cats had always got their drinks from it. The Bubbler makes a lovely little bubbling sound very much like my table top fountain. Because of its placement in my kitchen, all of my 3 cats and 3 dogs drink from it. It is easy to clean and disassemble and reassemble. I believe the tank and reservoir can be placed in the dishwasher if desired. I like the fact that I don't have to fill it every day. Plus, since the pump is separate from the water, you don't have to worry about the pump burning up when the water is low. I have found nothing to complain about. I would recommend this to any one without reservation.

Thumbs up for Bubble upApr 11, 2007
By delquattro

The jug is big enough that it lasts for over a week with 4 cats. The cats have never been scared by the bubbling sound. Two of our cats are Bengals and though they love to play in water they haven't really played much with the Bubbler, which is fine with us. We were looking for something that would provide a reasonable alternative to stale water dishes and this is it. It is simple, too.
A word of caution, though:
I broke the valve that is used to regulate the bubble action when I was setting it up. I pulled the valve out and hooked it up directly to the pump. Its fine and as I said, the cats aren't afraid of it. We recommend it, but be careful of the valve, it's pretty primitive and doesn't offer much adjustment. I tried to turn it too far and split the valve.

Pet Bubble FountainJan 09, 2007
By DFH
After having the filter type pet water fountain, I was looking for something that was easier to keep clean, and less expensive to maintain. After reading the reviews I decided to give this one a try. There were a couple of reviews that made me feel a bit cautious, but after some thought I decided to move forward with the purchase anyway. These fountains are really great for keeping pets hydrated. I've had the fountain for over a month now. It works great. I have not had any of the problems the other reviewers mentioned. It's been very easy to keep clean, and it's not extremely noisy. My cats are enjoying it and drinking more which is what I wanted; so I'm one happy pet owner.

 I didn't like it; cat didn't like it.Mar 01, 2007
By N. Pierre
This is a great idea, but I think it might need more tweaking. The reservoir holds a lot of water, which is good, but there is no filter. So any cat hair, stray food, or whatever your 18-month-old might be trying to throw will end up in the bowl. Then it sits there, usually after sinking to the bottom, until you dig it out. Also, with mine at least, you had to fiddle with it and fiddle with it to get any real bubbles to appear. A shame, since the cat really did like the few bubbles I was able to coax out.
If this somehow filtered the water AND made bubbles, I'd be all over it (like cat hair on a pastel couch).
