Great, high-capicity feeder, but one of the perches was broken in shipment

I now have two Perky-Pet feeders (this and the 210PB) and am impressed. The glass container appears to be to be made of good glass, a nice sealed top to ensure that the vacuum required to keep the nectar in the feeder does not rely on how tightly the top is screwed on. Additionally, the fact that it's made of glass means it can be run through the dishwasher (though we always do a few rinses afterwards to be sure there are no leftover chemicals). The ant moat addition has, in our experience, worked quite well (though to be honest, keeping the ants off in the first place is the best practice). The little perches, however, are not something I'm overly find of. Rather than "T" perches, this is a molded piece that runs the circumference of the feeder. On ours, we received it with one of the plastic "wires" broken, and several others bent, presumably from poor packaging. While not a deal-breaker, it certainly detracts from the "presentation," especially if intended as a gift. We simply cut off the broken "wire" and tried to bend the other back into reaosnable shape. Others might not wish to do so. That said, the sheer quantity of nectar this holds makes up for it somewhat (it's nice to be able to go a week between changes). All in all, the feeder does what it's supposed to do, and does it well. The construction is solid (aside from the perch assembly), it looks nice, and, most importantly, the hummingbirds love it. Definitely pleased with Perky-Pet!

good feeder-not the best quality but good for the money

The first one sent to me was broken but Amazon replaced it right away. The plastic tube is not as heavy or thick as I wish it would be, actually I ended up taping the seams that runs down the tube since it's not one solid piece but with that said, the birds thoroughly enjoy it. The feeding ports are well constructed and I love that they can be switched out from thistle to other types of seed use; and, the hanger is well constructed, too, and has withstood high winds. I'd buy a second one when I'm ready..

Well for starters it is a really nice feeder. However just a few months into the 8 months I have it, I've had an issue with the hanger portion that screws the whole thing together. It seems that the threads that you screw the top down are stripped. The threaded portion of the feeder is the issue , not the top. Apparently the tube is made of softer metal than the top. I just contacted the company for warranty info. For $90 it should be replaced....I'm hoping!  Perky Pet has a similar model and will replace their products for one year with proof of purchase and a picture of the issue.

Since I can no longer get the 50 ounce strawberry feeders with 6 feeding stations, this is one of three feeders I ordered to replace some aging feeders.  Surprisingly, the birds favor all the new feeders over the remaining strawberry feeders, but this one they always empty faster than the others which have slightly less capacity, 32 oz.  Despite the fact I gave this feeder a 5-star rating, I am quite disappointed in one thing:  It only holds 34 oz., contrary to the advertised 40 oz.  This feeder is very easy to clean and fill.  Currently I have 5 feeders out, and in early morning and late evening I often have 20-30 birds on and around the feeders.  I have to refill the new feeders everyother day.
Update 11/1/17, two years latter:  This feeder continues to be the favorite of the humming birds and has become mine.  Despite the relatively high price a bought two more of them during the spring of 2017  bringing my total to four.  I still use other feeders because I already own them, but all replacement feeders for now on will be these.

This is an attractive looking, functional feeder and was easy to assemble. The only problem I had was that the unit shipped with the wrong size nut needed to secure the baffle to the hook. Nothing I had at home would fit properly either. I took the hook to my local hardware store and the correct nut is a metric size. Twenty cents later I had the correct part and was able to complete the assembly.

I have had the feeder hanging in a tree for a few weeks now and the little birds love it. They took to it within a day or two. [It sometimes takes a week or so for the birds to find a new feeder. I have four other feeders in my yard so the regulars are used to finding food here.] The larger birds have trouble with the little perches. This keeps the Grackles and Starlings from emptying the feeder but it also discourages the Cardinals.

The squirrels and chipmunks have not been able to get to the seed by climbing the feeder - however - there is a fair amount of spillage from the tray which ends up on the ground. The chipmunks are having a feast sitting underneath it. The additional of a seed catcher would be nice.

The true test of a feeder is whether it will withstand a Midwest winter and ever hungrier squirrels as natural food supplies dwindle. Right now the squirrels aren't that interested. They are curious and jump on it, but don't try too hard. I'm also concerned about the sturdiness of the plastic and how well it will hold up when temperatures go below freezing. I will update as the seasons progress.

I was buying this to replace one I had for over 10 years.  It looks the same but it is not as well made, unfortunately.  The wood was broken on one side, although my husband was able to repair it.  I was disappointed but did not complain to the company - it could have broken in shipping - who knows. On a positive note, the birds and squirrels like it!

All of my deliveries have been fine until today. One of the hummingbird feeders was sadly mishandled. The feeder holds liquid but is quite permanently dented in the clear part. Just wanted you to be aware it came damaged but useable
Thanks

This is such a good deal for this much seed. My two little budgies just love this food, and I like that it actually has seeds in it, unlike some other brands that are just pellets. The only issue with giving 5 stars is that when my first bag was delivered, it had burst in the box and the seed was everywhere. I contacted for a replacement, which was super easy, but the second bag I received did the same thing. Needless to say I was very surprised, Amazon is usually great with packaging! If the packing was changed and a little more reinforced, I would definitely continue to buy this.

Our Red food tortoise out grow the kiddie pool she lived in and was escaping from her pool. So I bought two of these at separate times. First one came, no broken parts, super easy to put together. But wasn't big anoth for our Red Foot Tortoise. So we got a second one, which really helped and made a big difference. Now she has room. The second one was easy to put together. BUT the top hatch frame was broken on arrival from shipping damage. In the shipping package, you could see whole in the box and the hatch frame, over the sleeping house came apart in shipping. All the other pieces where just fine.  So, I fixed it. I had to use wood glue and put a screw in it. I figured it was heaps easier then trying send it back.  Because I normally would build her house, if I wasn't so busy.
Besides the broken piece in the mail the second time.  We and our tortoise love the tortoise box. :) She no longer gets out. Its got great screen hatch on it for lamps and sleeping box.  I think our tortoise is a little disappointed she cant run the house freely anymore. But now we know she is some where safe :)

Overall, we've been happy with this feeder and I would recommend to others; however, I am knocking off a star due to this design flaw. There is no way to check the food levels without opening up the lid (I wish there was an indicator or a warning light/sound). If you get too low, the machine will make noise at the set feeding times but not drop food (I learned the hard way)

I don't usually bother writing reviews for all the stuff I buy on Amazon, but I just had a wonderful experience with the maker of this product.  As others have said, it is a great feeder and has worked well for us (we also have the one with the cage around it for finches).

The other day I went to fill the feeder and a part inside was broken. I called Brome and they not only sent the broken part but another part that I thought was causing the spring mechanism to not work as well as it had originally.  The parts arrived in two days. Amazon tells me that I bought this in May of 2010, so after more than two and a half years the company fully honored its lifetime guarantee with no quibbles over whether I had caused the damage (which I hadn't).  That's great customer service.

The price wasn't bad for the amount, and it shipped surprisingly fast, within two days, but the packaging just about fell apart on my doorstep, and there was a small hole in the bag itself. Were it anything other than food, I wouldn't have minded, but freshness and sanitation are a concern. Assuming this was a one time occurrence, do not let it discourage you from purchasing. Oxbow is a fantastic food, and my ratties love it. It's the only pellet(ish) food they haven't turned their nose up at.

I would love this; however, the feeder top broke away from the small ball and ring to hang it. It looks like the screw simply broke (or solder failed). Now I'm past the return period and I've only had it 2 months.

1 feeder was perfectly fine. So far, so good. Second feeder, however, broke on second use. I was screwing the glass part into the feeder port section and it shattered into about 6 pieces, cut up my hand, it was a disaster. Happy with the one that's still useable but now worried it's going to break the same way.
