does the powder coating ever chip? How durable is it?

I've had mine for a couple of years now and it hasn't chipped. I live in the mountains and it's out all year. I bought the first one and liked it so well I bought another one. I am thinking about replacing my remaining feeders with this feeder. Excellent product.

I have had this item for over a year, and it looks like new. It has been a far more efficient feeder in that birds are less likely to throw the seed on the ground. It might be a problem in areas where it rains and snows a lot (unlike here) since it acts like a big dish for all of that water and ice.

I've had mine for about 6-8 mos and do not see any chipping. I have a variety of birds (magpie, Jays, small birds) and maybe even deer in the dark.I live in NM where it is always extremely windy and the feeder swings around w/o any problem or damage. I also have a copper cover like an umbrella in leaf shapesto keep the seed dry.

I've had mine for at least a year, maybe nearly two now. It's out year-round in NJ weather and there is no wear at all.

You aren't supposed to but I agree that if you are gentle and don't use the edges (like a user suggested below) then there shouldn't be a problem. The issue is that the finish seems durable but in my experience, after about 6 months use, it was no longer non-stick. There was never any noticeable chipping/disappearance of the coating but it just didn't work correctly anymore.

It is not powder coated at all. It is a shiny aluminum if that makes sense. Not as shiny as chrome though

I've had one of these knives for about a year without it chipping off. They are made really well. I did attempt to use one of them to chip through some frozen solid spinach one time and the coating did slightly chip. I don't know what it's made of but they work and don't rust

I've had these rods & shelves up quite some time and have not noticed any chipping. Very durable

I purchase the set of knives by Hampton forge and I have not had any problems with the paint chipping. I use them regularly because I cater...I plan on ordering two more packs within a few months...very good product...

We've had our hydro flasks for just over a month now and they haven't chipped at all, and my kids use them too so they get bumped around. I know someone else who's had hers for almost a year and it is in great shape, no chips. We love this water bottle and highly recommend it!

It seems like a very durable product. I used it for something not intended and it did well. I put several coats on a piece of metal that is a anchor rope guide on my boat. It was constantly wearing off the factory finish, rusting and chafing the rope if I did not repaint it each time we went fishing. It held up very good but still needed to re-dip the part after about 5 trips but still better than doing it every time. Once cured it will not chip but as with most every thing else, will break down with abrasion.

I've used my Fiesta every day for 15 years and have yet to chip it. Between the kids and my general clumsiness the dishes have been banged around a lot!

From the research I have done. I feel it is. The ceramic does not chip off. I love ,y WearEver and will continue to use it all the time

I haven't had any trouble with the coating or overall durability of this product. I am genuinely pleased with mine after two years and continue to recommend it to anyone with a KitchenAid.

I have had no problem with paint chipping. The pressing cone is aluminum. I would much prefer stainless, however, since the fruit skins are the only part in contact with the cone virtually no juice comes in contact with the aluminum.

No so far I havnt seen it chip honestly..doesnt mean it might not..if it does its a small price to pay for such a professional durable board..you know you can always remove it and paint over it when ever&#128518;

Mine hasn't rusted any and I haul kayaks with it after they have been in salt water. It is exposed to the salt air on the FL coast as well. I do wash it after use and it is stored in a shed. If the powder coating gets chipped it will start to rust. It is mild steel and thick, it would take a long long time before it became a structural issue. Touch it up when it gets chipped and it will be fine.

Hey, I've had it just over a year. I use it maybe once a month or two, since I make a big batch and freeze them. It still works like new, no problems, but I can't say how it would do under harder use. The only concern I would have is the durability of the coating, but it's been fine so far.

It is pretty durable. I have had no problems with it chipping scratching or rusting
