Had one of those a year ago…HATED IT! The idea is great, the decoy looks nice and it seemed well made. The big problem was the timer for the motor. The cycle would only run for maybe 3 seconds before it would shut back down and sit dormant for about 10 seconds (then repeat). The short period that the pump would run wasn’t long enough to get such a big decoy to move any distance, and as a result, there wouldn’t be much movement of the water. If the motor would run for maybe 10 seconds before shutting back down, that might be enough to get the decoy moving about like a real bird and create life-like ripples on the water surface. But since the timer was not programmable, I S-CANNED it.
