Petkit Eversweet Ultra
1 source$249.99as of Oct 10

The Petkit Eversweet Ultra is a large fountain with a 5-liter fresh tank, a separate 1.8-liter waste tank and a built-in AI pet camera. CNET's Tyler Lacoma scored it 8.5/10, finding it silent in continuous mode and praising the non-recirculating design, water heating and the features available without a subscription. He called it expensive at about $250, large, and slow to learn because of the number of app controls.

Strengths
  • — CNET found it silent in continuous mode over days of testing
  • — Water is not recirculated; it moves from a 5-liter fresh tank to a waste tank
  • — AI camera recognised the reviewer's cat and supports up to 15 pet profiles
Watch-outs
  • — Expensive at about $250
  • — Takes up more space than most pet fountains, per CNET
  • — The many app controls take time to learn

The Petlibro Capsule Dog Fountain is a 2.1-gallon plug-in fountain for dogs with a whirlpool drinking dish and a splash-catching outer ring.

How they stack up

Petkit Eversweet Ultra

The Eversweet Ultra is the only fountain on this page with a camera, and CNET describes it as cycling water between two tanks instead of recirculating it as a pumped fountain does. Its 5-liter tank roughly matches the 168 oz PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum and is smaller than the 2.1-gallon Petlibro Capsule Dog Fountain. At $249.99 it costs several times as much as the Petcube Fountain, the other app-connected model here, and unlike the Petcube it has to be plugged in.

Petlibro Capsule Dog Fountain

At 2.1 gallons the Capsule Dog Fountain has the largest tank on this page, ahead of the 168 oz PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum and the 100 oz PetSafe Multi-Tier, and it is the only one here built around a splash guard for dogs. It has no app, unlike the Petcube Fountain and Petkit Eversweet Ultra. Pocket-lint found it loud as the water level dropped, whereas CNET found both the Petcube and the Petkit quiet.
