Despite its ceramic build and easy cleaning, the frequent pump failures make it a risky investment.

"We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. This water bowl is perfect for all of them. I had been looking for a water bowl that had a FILTER, RUNNING water but that you don’t have to take apart to refill. We just use a pitcher with filtered water from the fridge and pour it in. So simple."
"Had this for three days, pump already broke. It does not filter all the water so if the top goes dry your in trouble. Cats liked it when it worked. Any water in the large portion stays dirty the pump does not recirculate all of the water only what is in the top. Terrible waste if money."
The Pioneer Pet Big Max Style could be suitable with newer fragile parts. However, the frequent pump failures make it a risky investment, and users should consider alternative fountains with more reliable features.
