For the £20 it cost me I have no real complaints about this product and if you can take the bad points into consideration then I'm sure you will be satisfied with it also! GOOD POINTS Cheap to buy. Lightweight and very portable ( can be set up virtually anywhere around your pond). Easy to assemble (no qualifications needed, a child could do it tbh). Surprisingly powerful for what it is (produces a satisfactory air flow given its size). A good length of cable from the solar panel to the air pump. 6ft of air tubing for each outlet. Air stones and all tubing come with the product so you can have it running straight away (depending on the weather). BAD POINTS Very noisy (measures may be needed to combat the noise from the Air Pump, wrapping it in something or simply hiding it under an upside down plant pot is not good enough, and will need something with considerable noise canceling capabilities to remedy it fully). Uneven air flow to the stones if they are set at different depths ( you really have to have them at the same depth to get maximum performance from both air stones, I just loosely tied mine together, obviously this does not apply to a single outlet system). Clear bright blue sky really isn't enough (It may work but at a very slow reduced rate, light grey conditions and below I have not seen it function in at all, a little bit of sun and it jumps into life, full sun equals full performance). Not good in water over 3ft deep ( It didn't seem to perform well around the 4ft mark, wasn't producing the finer bubbles that are needed, still works ok but I defo think its more suited to 3ft maximum depth, I have mine in 2 1/2ft and its great). SUMMARY It is good value for the money, the bad points I mention can be combated if you wish to do so, so I don't feel like they are a real issue/problem with the system in general (at no point does it claim to be silent lol) and you may find that the noise is tolerable to yourself. I really like this product and would recommend it to anyone (pointing out the above to them obviously) it does its job and does what it was designed for well in full sun, I never expected miracles from a 20 quid air pump let alone a solar powered one but what i did get was a nice surprise with how well it can work and I consider it money well spent!Read full review

Bought to replace the smaller cheaper version, after several years good use, dreadful mistake. This one is so irritating and noisy, given that you are most likely to be outside when the sun is out and its at its loudest when the sun is at its strongest, very unsuitable. You could cover the solar panel to stop it I suppose, while your outside. The double air-stone seems to be a problem as well, clearly one seems to be weaker or more restrictive than the other. However I would highly recommend the single cheaper version of this, which I have already repurchased, very quiet and the solar panel is smaller and less in your face, far superior.

Good quality, well packaged, prompt arrival. Works great. Keeps my pond nice and clear. Easy to assemble. Good quality solar panel. Pump can be noisy in very hot sun but you can angle the panel and alter the pump flow to remedy this. And my frogs don't mind it.

I love Woodside, their solar power seems more than the competition. I have three 1 stone vesrsions, and decided to try the 2 stones. Not really impressed, two were better than 1. Mine packed up. After 6 months I finally put it up it lasted less than 2 months. I rarely return products, I simply never buy them again. It might be a 1 off, but I will stick to Woodsides 1 stone in future.

works great but in full sunshine its very noisy, i put the pump in a tin and packed it with sand, i then buried the tin about 3 inch below ground under sand and soil and i can still hear its high pitched squeak but only when close up so it no longer annoys us or the neighbours.
