Too Wide but Stands I bought several of the refills because I got used to using a similar one from Wal-Mart and they don't sell them any more. I was a little disappointed that the head is so wide. It does not fit into 6 oz. juice glasses, small wine glasses, or some other narrow containers. Also, the barrel is a little wide for my small grip.
That said, I am still pleased with the purchase. The dishwand has its own stand, which allows the sponge to dry between uses to reduce bacterial growth as well as preventing soapy leaks. Be sure to order the CelluleneTM (#134) rather than Cellulose(#135), as cellulose gets stinky quicker.
Best Price Does what it's supposed to do. This is my third mag pump. I've been working my way up throught the years. My first was 250, then a 500. This is a 700 gph.(They all still work fine.) I use it with a their matching 1 sq, foot filter. You must use an add on filter or it will be constantly clogging. The 700 is perfect for the Bell Type Fountain.
Nice Little Table, Good Value I recently purchased the "Island Collection Plant Stand" to go with my "Island Collection Bench with 2 Drawers," which I have also reviewed. I wanted a small, matching end table to put my wallet and keys on as I came in the door. The plant stand is the perfect match for the bench in this respect because they match in both size and style; both the bench and the stand are 14 inches wide. I am quite happy with the combination.
The stand is easy to assemble. Be careful to follow the directions, however, as it is easy to make a mistake if you do not. Everything you need except for a Phillips head screwdriver comes in the box. The structurally important elements are bolted together with the bolts screwing into pre-threaded, metal sockets. The drawer rails are attached with wood screws that screw easily into guide holes.
In some ways the stand is a nicer piece of furniture than the bench. While there is some Masonite in the drawer, the rest is solid wood. The drawer is a bit narrower than it seemed to be in the picture, but it is fairly deep. (Just remember when you look at the picture that entire top is only 14"x14".) The stand is very sturdy, and I found that it stood upright without rocking. The rattan is the same cheep quality as the bench's, but it is slightly recessed making it harder to damage during assembly. My big complaint about the plant stand is that the bottom shelf piece does not fit snugly with all four legs; there are small gaps between the shelf and some of the legs.
Overall, I found it about what I would expect for $40, but I was not blown away.
