With many of us refreshing our gardens and outdoor spaces now that summer has finally arrived, shoppers have been singing the praises of an 'adorable' outdoor fountain they claim is 'very relaxing to listen to.' The Smart Solar Duck Family Fountain is available at Charlies and has been reduced from £169.99 to £107.99 — and it has been garnering glowing reviews.
Charming Design and Solar Power
Featuring a charming duck design that is certain to spark conversation amongst guests, the product is both solar powered and completely wire-free. Delivering a calming water sound, the design showcases one mother duck holding an umbrella alongside four delightful ducklings. The water flows down around the duck family from the umbrella, creating a realistic rainfall effect. Charlies recommends positioning it in direct sunlight for optimum results.

Customer Reviews
Having accumulated 130 reviews, the Smart Solar Duck Family Fountain has proved a firm favourite amongst shoppers looking to spruce up their gardens. One customer remarked: 'Super birdbath, love it, arrived very well packaged. Easy to assemble plus no batteries or electrical supply required. Wonderful - instant joy. Was unsure if it would be as sturdy as it looks but it's brilliant. It's got the appearance of being solid, and is weighted well but easy to move if required. Worked immediately too as the sun was out.'
Another enthusiastic buyer wrote: 'Arrived safely on time easy to put together, fairly strong, looks really nice just need the sun to shine very relaxing to listen to when the fountain is on and reasonable price Thank you.'
A third customer, as part of a glowing five-star review, stated: 'I think it's adorable. It is a lovely deep aged gold colour, not bright or garish and it produces quite a large amount of sound which is surprising as each trickle is very small. I love this fountain and it is a lovely focal point for my small garden.' They went on: 'The duck family is crafted very well and as a whole, is very well put together.'
Considerations and Alternatives
It is worth noting that one reviewer remarked: 'Looks very good - works well in the sun, but only one gripe is that it's a little light so a bit worried a storm will knock it over.' Despite this concern, another satisfied purchaser noted: 'Very pleased with the fountain, loving the sound of running water, very relaxing.' An additional customer awarded it five stars, stating within their review: 'The duck fountain was a present to my sister for her 70th birthday - she loved it. It has pride of place on her patio.'
Elsewhere on the high street, Amazon stocks the bestselling BTGGG Water Feature at £69.99. Boasting an elegant bowl design, it suits virtually any garden, including more compact outdoor spaces. Over at Dunelm, the Arno Sphere Water Feature is available for £79. It is worth noting that it requires a mains power supply, though the home retailer describes it as offering a 'soothing waterflow and tranquil glow.'
