the circular ones that float need to have full sun, which means your water needs to be in the sun all the time that you want the fountain to work, with the corded ones you can put the solar panel a short distance away and still have some shade on the water.

also watch the little fountain attachments - if they spray the water too high in a breeze it can all blow out of your container and birds will be without or pump running dry can die.

I have gone through a pile of them over the years, some last a long time others not so much. luck of the draw, they all seem to be about the same.
