Peacock Fountain vs Colour Fountain
Peacock Fountain vs Colour Fountain: a clear comparison of price, noise, safety, look and value to help you choose the right crackers before you buy.
Quick verdict: The Peacock Fountain wins for a visual centrepiece; its fanned, peacock-tail spark spray is built to be watched, not just lit and left. The Colour Fountain lineup (Flower Pot Small, Big, Special and Deluxe) wins for families who want a graded set, starting small for kids and stepping up to the Deluxe for open ground. Apartments should skip the Deluxe; everything else here is apartment-safe.
Peacock Fountain vs Colour Fountain at a Glance
| Attribute | Peacock Fountain | Colour Fountain (Flower Pot range) |
|---|---|---|
| Spark pattern | Broad, fanned peacock-tail spray | Vertical cone of orange-gold sparks, widening by size tier |
| Duration | Medium burn | Short burn across Small, Big and Special |
| Apartment safe | Yes | Yes for Small/Big/Special; Deluxe is not |
| Placement | Ground, stable flat surface, clear overhead space | Ground, flat surface, clear of the emission cone |
| Best for | A single standout display piece | A tiered set: start small, size up for older kids or open ground |
The Peacock Fountain is a single, distinct product. It's built to fan its spark spray outward in a broad peacock-tail shape as it burns, rather than shooting a narrow vertical cone. That shape is the whole point of buying it: light it on a stable flat surface with clear overhead room, and keep a step back once lit.
The Colour Fountain side isn't one product but a graded range of flower pots. Flower Pot Small throws a short cone of orange-gold sparks upward for a brief, low-key display, the natural starting point for younger or first-time users. Flower Pot Big scales that up with a taller, denser spark cone and a longer burn than the small size. Flower Pot Special sits mid-tier, with a richer spark composition than the standard size for a fuller cone effect. Flower Pot Deluxe tops the range with a premium-fill formulation producing a tall, wide spark fountain, and it's the one item in this whole comparison that isn't rated apartment-safe, so it needs open outdoor ground.
The Differences That Matter
Shape is the real differentiator, not raw output. The Peacock Fountain's fanned spray reads as a display piece from a distance. It earns its name from the shape it burns into, not from being louder or bigger than a flower pot. The Colour Fountain range instead gives you a straight vertical cone that scales in height and density as you move up the four sizes, a different kind of visual: less about shape, more about scale.
Every item on both sides shares the same low noise level, ground placement, and colour-and-light effect profile. This isn't a loud-vs-quiet decision; it's a shape-and-scale one. The one hard line is the Flower Pot Deluxe's apartment-safe "no" rating: its taller, wider spark fountain needs the clearance that only open ground gives it, unlike every other item compared here.
