I'd be interested to know the price. The very first one I bought with the pineapple top a few years ago cost around the £100 mark, so I nearly passed out when I saw one with a lady and vase being promoted a few days ago at almost double the price !!!

Beware of buying a spare battery, like wot I did. I kept it in a dark place, BUT when I went to use it almost a year later, it had leaked so had to be thrown away. Fountain rendered useless so it went in the bin. Outside use needs to have an algae solution because the water soon becomes discoloured.

this one looks a lot cheaper than some of the older models..less oranate. my fountain which is electric has stopped working i have had it 15 years.

 

[Snowstorm]

I bought the last TSV and very happy. This one doesn't look as nice but am sure there will be lots of interest. Be interesting to see the price point.

 

[boffy]

amazon have these just in case the tsv does not look the part http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...ini+water+fountain&sprefix=bernin,outdoor,159

 

[boffy]

someone is selling the last tsv model on e bay for £80 inc postage looks better than the new tsv tbh...i wonder if its worth the risk getting it

 

[Snowstorm]

Am intrigued.

 

[boffy]

he says that he gurantees them for a year but bernini only gurantee them for 6 months. not keen on the tsv its a bit boring. it would have to be under £50 to interest me

Craig did say easy pays

Saw the woman the last time they did a fountain with this company. She likes the sound of her own voice doesn't she. Very descriptive spiel, but gets repetitive.

Plus ooooh the battery gets charged how? Is not having a rechargeable battery or solar panel such a selling point?

Can really see 'zen-like feeling of calm' if the battery runs out.. or you lose the charger if there is one..

 

[boffy]

i dont like this. its not the prettiest fountain and it has a lot less features than others. it does not light up and its only on one level. i suppose if you ilke a more streamlined look its ok but for the lack of interest its quite expensive

 

[Turandot]

This reminds me of the old style water fountains we had at school .If I had a very large garden it might look Ok, but I have a pond so enough running water in my small garden.

 

[boffy]

i would like one of the other fountains but theres so many issues re them peeling and qvc only guarantee them for 6 months which is not long enough. under sale of goods act may even be illegal. someone is selling them but not sure if i have a problem i will have any comeback

 

[Brissles]

AND HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF THE P & P ??? almost £9 !!! even one of the largest tele's has cheaper delivery.

I think quite a few recent TSVs haven't had the sales (or the speed of sales) that QVC might normally expect. The Liz Earle one didn't sell out, did it?

They seem to be mostly feast or famine - there have been a few where they had the volume so wrong they were sold out by the first live show of the morning, and far too many where they were flogging desperately to 11.59pm. They must have been very pleased and relieved with the NutriNinja selling out during its last live show.

Really, though, they must must MUST sort out the postage - it's getting to be beyond a joke.

I think this TSV is quite boring. They've had much nicer fountains on for the same or less money. Not for me and Lorna Ko is a complete gobsh*te, yak yak yak. I have to watch with the sound down but as I wasn't wanting to buy I just turned it off, even though some of the plants might have interested me. Got my bulbs on advanced orders a week ago so we went down to the coast instead of watching telly.
