Emily Mills, known on TikTok as @soemilymills, shared a video about a tabletop water fountain she bought at a Dollarama store for $5. She said she chose the item because she thought it would create a nice and soothing atmosphere at home. The product is described on its packaging as a tabletop water fountain with natural river stones that offers relaxing, gentle water with an ambient glow.
In the TikTok video, which has drawn 1.7 million views, 122,100 likes and more than 1,000 comments, Mills showed the small black fountain with stacked rocks, a green succulent and river stones sitting on a windowsill. Water flowed from it, but she noted that it sounded like a dentist’s office and that her dog hated the noise. She said she added more water, which made the flow quieter yet messier. The unit is then seen stopped working.
