Not bad, but could be better.

I have owned a ton of fountains and have taken them all back for one reason or another. Unfortunately this one was no different. Love the modern look and sleek sound; however, if you buy this fountain it MUST sit on a level surface, and even at that it still might leak out under the second bend of the fountain. That's exactly what happened to me, and it was on a level surface. I like to leave it on all the time because of the light, but woke up several time in the night to water everywhere. I might of just had a bad experience and I really liked it.
Will buy a second one soon!

I have bought many bad fountains that either died, have no running sound or spray anywhere but into the fountain. I read a lot of reviews before I invested in this fountain, and I now add my two cents for anybody, like me, who is searching. This is an excellent tabletop fountain, and the fact that it is low-priced is the butter on the bread. No pump sound, lovely trickling water sound. I don't feel it looks cheap at all. It took me all of five minutes to set it up. Another strong point with me - no splashing at all! And, despite the fact that some of the reviews speak disfavorably about the lights, I actually think they're really pretty and don't find them bothersome at all. I will invest in another one soon, for a friend at work who admired mine.
Beautiful but...

This is my review for the EnviraScape relaxation fountain :
the good :
A. Quiet as opposed to the fountain I owned before , and was easy to assemble.
B. A beautiful and soothing water sound .
C. A fairly good quality for the price .
the bad :
A. I found the two light bulbs placed under the silver colored plastic to be very strong and disturbing for my eyes.
The bottom line :
A fine looking product that was contemporarily designed. The lighting could have been easier for the sight if the two bulbs were "hidden" somehow .
Personally I :
Recommend it .
Product is good but shipped broken 2008-05-27
The product is excellent. No noise of the motor. But, I received it in a broken condition. I had to fix it before operating it. It must have been damaged while it was being shipped.

Tired of fountains where you just hear a pump and you can't even hear the water? You won't get that here! You do not hear the pump over the water at all, you just hear the water sounds. There is a good steady flow of water, and the water flowing over the included stones gives it a lovely "babbling brook" sound effect. The water flow is good, and it has a nice design where the water does not get stuck on the levels but flows continuously through. The flowing water sound is very relaxing and peaceful.
It's made of black plastic with many tiny silvery flecks in it. The silver flecks give it a gentle shimmer, especially noticeable in the dark under the fountain's led lights. I think it looks nice. I'd say the light was a little brighter then a night light, mostly because of the water reflections that play across the walls. The LED lights are also easy to disconnect if you don't like them, you just leave the connector unplugged.
Most importantly, while it is plastic - it's not flimsy. It's taken a fall from a kitchen counter (when I was cleaning it) and held up solid with no cracks or breaks. Super easy to assemble and clean. Well made, so there is almost no water splatter when it runs.
Ours has been going in our house 24/7 for over 3 months, and has worked fine. Overall, it looks good and works good. It's a great fountain for the money.
Note: when you first get the fountain, it's important follow the instructions to wash both the fountain and the stones well before use. Homedics says most noise problems people report are caused by dust and grime from skipping this step are caused by people who do not do this. Once a week, take 5 minutes to give it a good rinse in the kitchen sink and refill it with clean water, and it will last you a long time.
Peaceful sound and nice lighting.

Really enjoyed the fountain bubbling water sound. Also makes a great nightlight. Unfortunately at less than two months old, it developed a serious leak in the bottom chamber so that it won't hold water at all. Am going to try and seal it as we enjoyed fountain so much. Just be aware of potential for leaks.
Good fountain 2008-02-26
This fountain sounds pretty much like a waterfall. We use it in my kid's room for white noise. The only problem is the lights. There are two LED lights that look like two little dots of light unless you are standing over the fountain. They don't really add to the look of the fountain. But it is what you would expect for what you are paying for it. We have had it for two months and no problems so far. I would buy it again.
One month after I wrote this the fountain started leaking. Over the next three weeks we tried and tried to figure out what was leaking but couldn't and it just got worse. I would obviously not recommend this fountain anymore. By the way it is about 8in by 10in by 4in.
Very cute design and relaxing sound 2008-02-21
Overall, I am pleased with the River Bend fountain. *****I am especially fond of the bubbling brook; it sounds so soothing! I plan to purchase another one.
Pros: modern design, *****very soothing sound, low motor noise, plenty of river rocks included, and easy assembly.
Cons: small size, constructed of plastic, and despite the coating of silver specks, it looks plastic, white light illumination (I placed layers of masking tape over them to diffuse the brightness).
The fountain is not perfect in appearance, but it sounds wonderful!
Great value and wonderful sound 2008-01-17
So many indoor fountains look like kitschy knockoffs of something you'd find in an old outdoor garden, but made of cheap plastic. As the previous reviewer mentioned, though this one is made of black plastic as well, the white flecks keep it from looking cheap. I really like the modern design, and the pump, while not completely silent, is very quiet. The noise is definitely covered by the brook-like trickle.
Minus one star for the lights however. If you are looking at the fountain from above (i.e. if it is on a coffee table) everything looks fine. If you put it on a regular table or shelf however, you can see the white leds clear as day. They sit beneath the stream of water, partially hid by the lip the water trickles over. I'm thinking about finding a small piece of plastic to diffuse the light a bit. Otherwise, the fountain is great, especially for the price.
Sounds just like a peaceful bubbling brook 2007-11-20
I had to write a review on this because no one else did and if you're like me, you rely on a review to give you a clear evaluation of the product. Especially a product like a fountain- where you need a description of the sound of it. I researched hundreds of fountains online, and read as many reviews as I could. I'd always wanted an indoor fountain. I found not a single review on this fountain but I thought I'd try it because it was the only fountain to mention a babbling brook and that's what I was specifically looking for. There's no point in getting a beautiful looking fountain if it doesn't sound beautiful or you hear the motor.
This fountain was designed to mimic the look of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. I discovered that the fountain had tiny silver specks on it- which made it look less plasticy (is that a word?). It was easy to assemble- as promised. It does look like plastic- but it has a very modern look to it if you are into that sort of thing. The rocks are nice but if you have a stream nearby, you may want to add some larger rocks for more dimension- but it is not necessary. There is absolutely no sound to the motor which I think is amazing. All I hear is beautiful flowing water. I'm undecided about the LED light display. It makes a nice watery reflection on the wall but it seems to look a little too much like mini spotlights. I may disconnect the lights.
So definitely buy this if you want the exact sound of a mountain stream right there in your home. It's a plus if you like the modern look. It was such a great price- only $28.00 plus shipping. And it's so great not hearing the motor!
