    I concur - spend the extra dollars on a robust model.
    The first one I had worked fine until it shut off. The water pressure surge
    blew all the guts out the top of it - gears and knobs went flying like
    bullets followed but a monumental fountain. It exploded with such force
    that shrapnel could have caused injury.

    Regards,

    Andina Marie Foster,
