Stainless steel looks fantastic. The unit itself was really easy to assemble. The filter lasts a month and you can buy packs of filters to fit this unit pretty much anywhere online.Temu and Amazon come to mind. The unit is also silent. I cant hear a thing from it and it took all of 90 seconds for my cats to start drinking out of it. Postage was quick as well. Was here in 5 or 6 days.
