Editorial Reviews:

The Drinkwell® Platinum Pet Fountain is the ultimate in style and design. The Platinum utilizes the same innovative watering system as our other Drinkwell® Pet Fountains, featuring the patented free-falling stream of water. This entices pets to drink more, keeping them happy, healthy and hydrated. The Platinum features a new snap-on lid to prevent accidental removal, a pre-filter to catch any large particles before they reach the motor, and a submersible pump for nearly silent operation. With the same quality that consumers have come to rely on, the Drinkwell® Platinum is a culmination of 10 years experience in making pet fountains.

Summary: Very poorly made, difficult company to deal with.
Comment: This product is JUNK!!! I purchased it, from Amazon, in August of 2008, and by February of 2009 the pump had quit working. I contacted Amazon about replacement parts, who in turn told me to contact the company that actually ships the product, Smarthome. After wasting months with Smarthome trying to get replacement parts, I shipped the entire unit back to Smarthome for a replacement. We received the replacement in June of 2009 and once put into service, it proceeded to dump all the water in the reservoir on to the floor. I contacted Smarthome and was told that they were sorry for the problem, but there was nothing they could do and that I should contact the manufacturer. Classic runaround!! To this day it just sits, in a box, unused! Just be forewarned, this is an expensive waste of good money!!

Summary: kitties love it!
Comment: I really like the new gate on the platinum model and that the reservoir comes with it instead of having to purchase seperatley. My cats both love it and drink more water than if they just had a regular bowl. The only drawback is putting the reservoir on the drinkwell, but other than that I can't find a complaint. This makes my life easier.

Summary: Works very well!
Comment: This water fountain works very well. I only have one cat, so it stays very clean. I just cleaned the fountain for the first time (6 weeks after purchase) by rinsing it with vinegar water. I would prefer a fountain made from steel because of the BPA leakage concerns from plastics. Maybe this will soon be an option.

Summary: Excellent product but could use a few tweaks
Comment: I've had my Platinum Pet Fountain for almost three years, and the thing is going strong. No problems with the motor or anything like that. The things I think need improving are that currently the product says not to put it in the dishwasher. This item (besides the motor part) needs to be dishwasher safe. You do not want to clean this thing by hand every five days or so. It feels so much more sanitary to throw it in the dishwasher. So that's what I've done since I've gotten it. It stands up to the dishwasher except now I'm noticing that there's this sort of slime on it after a few days. My thinking is that probably the plastic is breaking down because I've been putting it in the dishwasher. The other thing I find completely unnecessary is the extra resevoir. I threw mine away a long time ago. I understand why folks would need it, but I would much rather keep refilling it with fresh, refrigerated water. And like other people said before me, you're certain to splash water around when you use it. Other than that, it's perfect. I'm looking for one that's dishwasher safe made by another brand, but if I don't find one, I'll just buy this one again.

Summary: drinkwell platinum pet fountain
Comment: It took my 2 cats 5 seconds to try the fountain, and love it. My one cat would only drink from my bathroom sink, so this is the next best thing and he loves it. Motor is quiet too. I would highly recommend this unit and Amazon's price was at least $25 less than other stores that have the same unit. A great find.
