We have had  the best visitors to our feeder ever!  Five or six different kinds of woodpeckers, tit mice, cardinals, gold finches, nuthatches, dark eyed juncos, Chickadees, purple finches and more.  And there is not much to clean up when they are finished.

Can I give more than 5 stars??
We bought two of these feeders because we have a problem cat:  he is food-obsessed, on a special diet, and needs medication mixed in his food.  This means that he wants to, but should not, eat the other cat's food; and the other cat should not eat his food.  We were beyond our wits' end trying to figure out how to manage the cats' feedings!
The instructions for basic set up are easy to follow, but our problem cat quickly outsmarted the feeder and was able to eat the other cat's food anyway, and in addition there was signal interference from our problem cat's microchip so that his feeder wouldn't open consistently.
I was feeling pretty upset that we had spent so much money on two of a product that didn't solve our problem, so I called customer service for guidance.  Within a short time, a lovely lady helped diagnose exactly what was happening and walked us through setting up two "custom modes" that immediately solved both of the issues we had been experiencing!  I am so impressed that the designers had thought through a multitude of potential problems and had fixes ready-to-go.  I love you folks!

This Squirrel Master is amazing! I have tried so many ways to keep the squirrels off my feeders to no avail but now my birds have the freedom to come and go and actually eat. It was so much fun watching the squirrels trying to figure out how to get up the pole after we installed the Squirrel Master. They would run around on the rocks, look up, move over for a different angle and look up again. They even climbed on our patio chairs to get up higher to see if there was another way up the pole. While some still try to climb, most have just given up and eat on the ground. Thank you for making this awesome product.

Works better than any hummingbird feeder we have ever tried. The birds love it and it was a pleasure dealing with your company

This feeder is hands down the best I've owned.  Easiest to clean, easiest to refill.  Doesn't seem to leak as much as some do when the wind blows.  I bought a second one.  It's nice that they can sit while sipping the sugar water.

This is the best feeder around.  So convenient to use and the birds just love it.  Know how your bird feeders get dingy after a while?  Well with this feeder, all you have to do is to replace the soda bottle with a new one and recycle the old! I have 4 of these feeders in my back yard with different types of seed and it is amazing to see all the various birds feeding.  I am giving one of these to my bird loving friends for their birthdays.

I was watching the local news here in New Hampshire about six weeks ago, and they did a short piece about a 24-hr webcam in Manchester trained on some baby Peregrine Falcons who had just hatched. I thought that sounded interesting. I had no idea that it would be life changing, though! I was quickly hooked. Even early on those little pink fuzzballs had their own personalities, especially the smallest who came to be known as "Peanut". Adding to the experience was an internet chat, with some other bird fanciers, most of whom were fairly local as we soon found out. Watching our little friends grow into adults and "fledging", or flying for the first time, had all the drama of watching a family grow up in front of you, compressed into a 6-week time frame. Our learning was greatly enhanced by our moderators from Single Digits, a provider of internet services who installed and operated the cameras.
Last week the group met at the nesting site, many of us meeting each other for the first time, and at the request of one of our members Nancy came and brought one of her Falcons, Banshee, for us to see close-up in person. What a magnificent bird! I went to her book signing after, and of course bought the book and finished it in a few days. What a wonderful book! We get to meet many of the birds who became her partners, not her "pets", but her hunting companions. What a unique relationship between a human and a wild animal. I had the good fortune to meet and protect one of our new fledgelings who was slightly injured in her first flying attempts. I immediately contacted the Audubon Society for help, and guarded her for about 45 minutes. I felt she came to trust me. It was one of the most incredible 45 minutes of my life. I feel that, in a slight way, I know how Nancy feels.

This feeder is a fantastic addition to our patio. We have a couple of mating pairs of Hooded Orioles, and they quickly found it. It is far superior in design to the last oriole feeder we tried. However, the hummingbirds can get to the nectar also, and seem to prefer this feeder to their own hummingbird feeder, not sure why. This means it needs to be refilled very often! We would recommend this to anyone who either has, or wants to attract, the stunning hooded oriole.

I bought this pet feeder for my dog so that I don't have to worry about all her meals during the day when I'm away. I've had it for about 2 weeks and it is one of the best products I have ever purchased for my dog (and me!).  At first I tried it during the weekend so that I could be assured that it worked properly - and it did. I was a bit anxious the first day I left her with it, hoping it would continue to work as evidenced. When I returned later that day, I realized it had worked like a charm. She is very happy with her new "magical" feeder and so am I.

I chose this style of feeder because it looked more fool-proof than the other styles - even smart cats will not be able to open it (unless 2 cats team up and one pushes the cover release button while the other one swings upward the big cover to expose the contents - if your cats can do this, they deserve a TV show of their own!).  There is no way other critters would be able to open it when I leave it in the yard.

The feeder is easy to program and very easy to clean. I highly recommend this feeder over the other styles.
----------------------

UPDATE March 2, 2010:  I have had this feeder now for almost a year and I am quite impressed with its performance. My dog loves it and I love it. My dog knows the "exact time" her food will appear (magic!) and she tends to hang around it when time grows near. I have not had to change the D batteries yet. It cleans extremely well and is very durable.

--------------------

UPDATE April 17, 2015:  I am downgrading it from a 5-star to a 3-star because since my last review in 2010 of it, I had to buy another one - the original stopped working altogether.  When I contacted the manufacturer, they were not sympathetic at all - basically telling me to send the old one back so they could test it, and they would ship me another one - no, not for free, at full price!  This is clearly a mechanical defect, not anything done at the consumer end.  Perhaps I'm expecting too much for a product to last more than 5 years?

Now on the second one, the tray has gone haywire and although I have the times accurately set, when the first rotation occurs, it simply continues going around and around, like a kids carousel - my poor dog kept looking at it hoping it would stop!  So now I have mixed feelings about getting another one - the ratings and comments for other feeders are not very encouraging.

We purchased this feeder about two months ago so that we could leave our cats for a few days while traveling, and so that we could do a better job enforcing the diet we have them on.  We kept an eye on it for a couple weeks before leaving the cats alone over Thanksgiving.  By the time Thanksgiving rolled around, we didn't have the faintest doubt that the feeder could be trusted to do its thing reliably and without breaking (despite the cats' best attempts to destroy it).  This feeder is industrial grade, plain and simple.  Everything about it is heavy duty.  If you want a feeder you can really trust, this is the one to get.  I wouldn't totally trust any others on the market.

The more mischievous of our two cats figured out how to stick her paw in the machine and get a few more kernals out.  Purchasing the accessory hood solved that problem, though.  If you have a clever cat, you should just get the hood to begin with.  I think it will come pre-installed that way, too, which is nice because you have to disassemble the machine to install it.

The feeder itself is simple and foolproof.  The most complicated part of setting it up is programming the timer.  You can choose whatever timer you want, though, so it is as simple or difficult as you make it.

I contacted the seller a couple times when I first placed the order, and when ordering the accessory hood later.  The company is amazingly responsive -- like others have said, I even got a reply to an email on a weekend within an hour!

If you need a cat feeder, this is the one to get.  It is more than worth the extra cost over other feeders.

When we are out of town and our pet sitter comes to take care of our pets, it's so nice knowing that she has arrived on time and departs as scheduled. No longer do we have to text, "did you feed our pets"? Just because we worry and we don't want to sound like we don't trust our help, but sometimes people forget and it sure is wonderful knowing they didn't forget and our pet sitter is so dependable.

On top of the day to day monitoring of activity at my house. The security of having the cameras just in case the bad guys attempt to burglarize my property, I'll know what they did and have a good chance of catching them in the act or down the road.

The ring community is brilliant. Crime just might not be paying as much as they say, at least not at my house.

We just laugh and laugh as those stupid - and creepy - squirrels try over and over and over again to get at the food in this feeder. Fuhgeddaboutit. My highest endorsement.

[Updating again, and removing stars] (See addendum at end)  This is not my first bird feeder... but it is the most impressive of the many I have owned.  I like that the feed tray slides out, making it easy to clean and to refill... and the sliding tray is the bottom.  Other bird feeders would still have overflow seed under the removable tray and would require removing the entire feeder to clean.  I like that the feeder's holes for the suction cups are slotted to allow for removal of the feeder without having to remove the suction cups.  I like the open hole cut into the middle of the back as it allows an even more enhanced view of an already clear view of the feeding birds.  And I really like the peaked top.  The squirrels aren't particularly pleased to no longer have a flat surface to climb/jump onto... and their look of "what ever have you done?!" makes me laugh every time.  I have had one squirrel actually make it inside... but he was so cramped and uncomfortable that he didn't stay very long.  So far, none have returned... but my yard's squirrels are a determined lot, so time will tell.  I did not anticipate our birds liking the change of feeders and I anticipated that it would be several days before they'd come back to feed.  Not so!  You'd have thought there was a flashing "EAT HERE!" sign... as the birds came running [flying] within mere minutes of the change.  Even the biggest of blue jays found the size of this feeder to their liking.

All in all, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.  This is how a window bird feeder should be made...

[06/25/18] - Addendum.  I'm leaving it at 5 stars as I still really like this feeder.  But it does have an issue.  First, the squirrels are still having difficulty getting in... and often slide off the sloped top... UNLESS, they're able to land where they can straddle the peak.  Once there, it is a simple matter to get inside where the seed is.  The problem is that when they jump out, they're taking the slide-in-tray with them.  I have had to pick the tray off the ground numerous times, refill it and put it back into place.  While I know the squirrels are doing this, I'm not sure exactly how it happens.  I don't know if the tray slides out enough to fall or if the force of the squirrel jumping causes one side or the other to come loose from the side groove.  Regardless, then end result is the same.  I tried using a rubber band around the base to hold it all together... but the sharper sides break through the rubber band.  I'm now using a small piece of transparent scotch tape.  No biggie... but I really don't like the squirrels thinking that they've got the upper hand, again.  Keeping at 5 stars as the overall experience is still great.  We have doves visit during the day.  They love watching us through the back while they eat as much as we love watching them.  They were not as comfortable with previous, lower roofed feeders.  :)

[07/04/18] The design of the slide in bottom continues to cause problems.  I keep finding the tray (which is also the bottom) on the ground... even after scotch taping either side to keep the tray in place.  I'm guessing that either the weight or the force of the squirrels jumping out of the feeder is causing the slide-in tray to separate from the sides and fall out.  I've moved this from 5 stars to 3.  I am now super-gluing the tray to the feeder.  Fortunately, the entire feeder removes and reattaches quite easily.

This is a great large tray feeder and the customer service the maker of this product provides is top notch. My Cardinals love this tray and do not feel crowded even with other birds there with them

We purchased the Petnet feeder because my wife and I travel quite a bit and wanted a feeder that we could program/schedule regular feedings for our two cats.  It worked as expected for a few weeks until our first trip out of town when the feeder lost connection to our wifi.  We had to have a neighbor come by and get it back on line.  It went for a while again before it lost connection again.  This time we contacted Petnet and explained the situation and they immediately sent out a new unit.  This second unit has worked perfectly since we set it up.

Overall, we are very pleased with this feeder and with the customer service from Petnet.  I have recommended this feeder to other friends that have also been looking for a programable feeder like this one.

I have been enjoying watching my bird friends for the past year and have been very happy with this feeder. Almost one year after buying it I had a very courageous squirrel dive bomb the feeder, knock it off the door and break one of the parts. Customer service was excellent, responding within a few hours on a Saturday to offer me 99% off a replacement feeder. So I am ordering the larger one, as I have lots of guests. This time I'll put it on the other glass door, a little farther from the deck railing so Mr. Squirrel will find it harder to jump on board. This has been easy to clean, easy to fill, and relatively no mess, aside from blowing extra seed bits off the deck every once in a while. But no jumping on a ladder to refill.
