Solar fountains?

twopenny

While I'm waiting for the time and energy to dig a pond I thought for the summer I'd get a bowl with a cheap solar fountain for the sound.

But I have no idea of the sort I should look for.

Will cheap do, mid price?

Anything to look for that makes one better than the other?

All suggestions (about fountains) gratefully received.

I got a couple of the floating round ones, £12-15 a pop typically on Amazon, where the base is also the panel. In full sun they worked OK but otherwise they were useless, including on a cloudy day. I'd be tempted to get one with a separate solar panel so that there's more flexibility on placement.

we bought a cheapy one on ebay (£6/7) and were pleasantly surprised at how effective it was and how good it looked.   we decided to buy another with a higher wattage (£12?) , they both now happily float around the pond

Thanks both. That's good news.
I knew someone mentioned one some time ago and I familiar with the vagaries of cheap solar s,mostly ok but some fail most don't. Pot luck.
I have a high fence that gets light all day. If I can find one with a long wire it could go there behind the foliage.
Good excuse for a trip to a countryside garden centre
