‘I think it’s adorable. It is a lovely deep aged gold colour, not bright or garish… I love this fountain and it is a lovely focal point for my small garden’
With many of us updating our gardens and outdoor spaces now that summer is finally here, shoppers have been praising an ‘adorable’ outdoor fountain they say is ‘very relaxing to listen to.’ The Smart Solar Duck Family Fountain is on sale at Charlies and has been cut from £169.99 to £107.99 – and it’s been receiving rave reviews.
Boasting a cute duck design that’s bound to be a talking point among guests, the item is both solar powered and wire-free. Offering a soothing water sound, the design features one mother duck holding an umbrella with four adorable ducklings.
The water cascades down around the duck family from the umbrella to create a realistic rain effect. Charlies suggests it should be placed in direct sunlight to achieve best results. Back to Charlies, and the Smart Solar Duck Family Fountain isn’t the only garden buy discounted in the retailer’s range.
Charlies has also cut the price of its Smart Solar DeccoBulb String Lights set of 40 in warm white which would normally set homeware fans back £39.99, but is currently on sale priced at £24.99. For those wishing to decorate on a budget, Charlies also has the impressive-looking Smart Solar Rainbow Solar Powered Flaming Balloon Hanging Ornament 45cm which is usually £9.99 and is now down to just £6.99. It can be hung from a tree offering a gentle glow to a garden or patio area.
Elsewhere on the high street, Amazon offers the bestselling BTGGG Water Feature for £69.99. With its chic bowl design, it’s suitable for almost any garden, including smaller spaces.

Meanwhile, Dunelm is selling the Arno Sphere Water Feature for £79. It is worth noting it’s mains powered, however the home retailer says it offers a ‘soothing waterflow and tranquil glow.’
With the Smart Solar Duck Family Fountain having been reviewed 130 times, the popular item is a hit with shoppers giving their gardens a mini makeover. One buyer said: “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.”
Meanwhile someone else raved: “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 said as part of a lengthy five star review: “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 continued: “The duck family is crafted very well and as a whole, is very well put together.” It is worth considering that one person said: “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, another happy buyer commented: “Very pleased with the fountain, loving the sound of running water, very relaxing.”
A further customer gave it five stars, saying as part of 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.”
