Van Ness Auto Waterer

Easy to use and clean. I wanted to see how long it last so I fill it as high as it would go and my 2yr old cat use it everyday and it last 6 days with some water still remaining in its a great product at a great price.

This is exactly what I needed. My dog and cat share the same water bowl therefore by the time I get home from a 9 hour day, it's empty. This waterer lasts a good 3 days and I'm ensured they have water all day long.

I have 2 of these because I have 2 cats. I fill 1 halfway with water and freeze it so each time there's fresh cold water as the ice melts for my pets. I do this every time I change the water and my sweetie's enjoy it.

Got this for the cat to have additional water on the back porch, so far he loves it.

I bought this for my cat Charlie. He is a 3 year old Tabby and is my hunter for mice and rats as I live in a rural area. He has easy access to the outside and spends a lot of time searching for prey. He does an excellent job! Due to his high activity he gets thirsty often. He now has easy access to water whenever he needs it. At first I was disappointing that it only held 3 liters, but I then recalled that water can get kind of 'slimy' if it is left out for a long time, especially if an animal is drinking it. So now I am happy that it wasn't any bigger. It was filled 7 days ago and is still 1/3 full and not 'slimy'. That saves Charlie time, he now doesn't have to go looking for me to give him more water. It is a little hard to get it assembled and filled the first time, but once you do it you will find it is really easy.

difficult to snap the cover on. and so much water leaks out as i try to place it on the bowl part. it works ok i guess for a cheap unit but i had hoped for better. seems easier to just refill the bowl manually instead of using the "automatic" reservoir thing. on the plus side tho, my cat is no longer spilling the water when he steps on the bowl. this unit is much more stable than what we had previously.

Perhaps if this came with instructions? Nothing but trouble and spillage trying to use this. I am taking it to the recycle bin. Not worth my time to return it.

Like others have said, the lid to seal the tank is terrible. The quality is what I'd expect from the dollar store. Pay a bit more for better quality on a different one!

This is non-functional! There is a lid where the valve is located. This lid is impossible to secure onto the container. BAD design!!! Not recommended; try a different design!

Flimsy and Disappointing I had high hopes for this product, but it turned out to be a total letdown. The materials are extremely flimsy and poorly made—it feels like it could break with the slightest pressure. I was hoping to use it to freeze water and make my life easier, but it's not practical for that at all. The design is weak and doesn't hold up to regular use. Don't waste your money on this; it's just not worth it.
