 Attracts hummers and easy to clean March 17, 2005

This feeder is very effective at drawing in hummingbirds, probably because it looks like a big, red flower; and it is easy to clean--which other feeders I have tried are not. It also has an effective ant trap, and it doesn't dribble, so it won't attract yellowjackets. A downside is its small capacity, so it's most appropriate for locations that are not overrun with hummingbirds. (If you put out this feeder in Southern Arizona, you'd be refilling it every hour.)
No more bees, no drips, a snap to clean! September 28, 2006

I initially bought a classic "perky pet" feeder, with the glass jar draining down into several feeding "flowers." Despite the bee guards, I often saw yellowjackets hovering around it. They squeezed themselves along the underside of the bee guards to get dribbles that leaked out of the flowers. Also, I learned that bees are drawn to yellow (the color of the plastic flowers). I'm sure ants would have found the dribbles before long, as well - there were even splatters on my deck.
Also, there was no way to be sure the plastic base was really clean when I refilled it. I've heard you can poison hummers with fungus, if the feeders are not cleaned thoroughly every 3-4 days. Fungus just loves sugar water.
I looked at some hummingbird afficionado sites and apparently the hummzinger models are the way to go. The simple construction is very easy to scrub out; no hidden recesses for fungus to grow. There is no yellow on it, so less attractive to bees. I have not seen one yellowjacket since installing this! No drips, and bees can't reach nectar through the openings.
It should be refilled even when it is not empty, both because of fungus growth (I have found fungus after waiting too long), and also because it seems a bit deep for hummers to reach the bottom, unless they are a long-billed variety. (I have Anna's hummers).
I had some trouble getting the lid off for cleaning, untill I realized I could just use the brass hanger to push the base down while pulling the lid upwards.
It's worth the frequent cleaning when I can sit in my living room watching the birds enjoy their nectar. This feeder makes the maintenance as easy as possible.

After going through a series of hummingbird feeders over the last several years, I have put the other models in the basement and have 2 of these HummZingers up. And here in the NE US in late August I am enjoying "hummingbird wars" outside as 4 or 5 RTHU jockey for time at the feeders.
As other reviewers have observed, this model solves the cleaning, bee, and ant problems inherent in most other designs. They work as advertised and the capacity is more than sufficient for my modest troop of hummers. A very good product.
Best feeder yet! March 3, 2006

I live in Maryland, so I am not overrun with hummers, but I do get around five at my house. Before this feeder, I would just throw the feeder away at the end of the year, it is so hard to get the mold off, and you're not supposed to use soap. This feeder is VERY easy to clean!! A few swipes with a wet paper towel, and you're ready to go!! Also, it is quite windy where I place this feeder, and on windy days, it hardly even moves. Another plus is that it is not glass, so if I were to drop it, or a squirrel knocked it down, I don't have shattered glass to clean up. I like that I had a choice in the number of ports because I don't get many hummers. It holds up to 8 oz, I usually only put in about 4 oz, so I don't have to have a lot of nectar on hand. If I were to attract more, I could get one with more ports that could hold more nectar. I've had a number of feeders, and this is my favorite by far!!
Absolutely the best! June 20, 2006

I recently purchased this Hummzinger to replace one I'd used for 7 years. There wasn't much that needed improvement, but they've thought of everything. It's still easy to clean and fill, but the plastic is sturdier and the bees are unable to enter and drown. I highly recommend this feeder.
