 "Our" favorite feeder October 12, 2006

My hummers had no trouble switching from the basic bottle feeders to this saucer, and I love it because it's the oh-so-easy to clean. The built in ant moat dries out rather quickly, but I basically fail to fill it anyway, and haven't had any ant problems at all. I now have 2 of these feeders, that hang from shepherds hooks, and there's no leakage problems whatsoever. Remember: change your sugar water frequently; every few days, to avoid spoilage. I highly recommend this feeder.
EDIT (04/2008): I wish this feeder came in 8oz, since I don't really need 16oz, and don't get that many hummers (unfortunately). But, I did also purchase a Hummzinger Fancy (12 oz), and surprisingly I just didn't like it. It was easy to clean, but was deeper than the PPO, which didn't appeal to me. I had put the Perky Pet on one hook on the south side of the house, and the HummZinger on the north side's hook. The HummZinger didn't get much activity, which was surprising since the hummers are used to both hooks having a feeder. After 2 weeks, I put the HummZinger away and went back to 2 PP's. Activity resumed on the north hook...
Considering both feeders are outside from April to November, and rinsed in hot water for every cleaning, they've held up well. No cracking, minimal color fading, no flowers have needed replacement to date.
Wow! September 10, 2006

After reasearching all of the feeders, I was going to go with the Aspect Hummzinger but, I read that the birds have a hard time finding the flower since it was red like the rest of the feeder. I found this one with yellow flowers and decided to go with it instead. Wow, I had it out for less than an hour and I started seeing little hummers everywhere. I am so suprized! I had another new feeder out the day before that was a purple glass with a yellow flower and it was not even seen by the hummers. I am all for this feeder!!! Plus I am exiceted that it will be easy to clean. I don't want anything that I have to buy a bottle bush to clean. I am so happy already!!!
 Not-so-cheap knock-off April 14, 2007

This feeder is a cheaply made (but not cheap!) knock-off of the Aspects Hummzinger, a much more durable feeder without the yellow parts that can attract attract bees. After problems with Perky Pet feeders, I now use only all-red feeders and find that it doesn't take new birds more than a few seconds to learn where the holes are (hummingbirds are a lot smarter than you think). For the same money or less you can get a feeder that's more durable, even easier to clean, less likely to attract bees, and made by a company that doesn't crank out cheap knock-offs or exploit you and the birds by marketing chemical-laced "instant nectar."
Humzinger copycat "Perky Pet" is wonderful at half the cost May 11, 2008

I searched the web and originally liked the Humzingers, but thought they were a little pricey, and found this one that looked an awful lot like the humzinger, and at half the cost. My hummingbirds love it, and are back again this year, only now they can rest their wings while eating!
 Nice feeder, but not the best for hanging May 16, 2008

The feeder is nice, and the design makes it a breeze to clean.
One issue is that the way it's made causes it to hang crooked, the nectar will move to one side and it will sit skewed, so there will only be nectar in one side, and the hummers aren't heavy enough to tilt it back so they have to move around to the lower side where the nectar is. Otherwise it is a nice feeder.
It has a spot underneath to mount on top of a pole, and that wouold probably work best for this feeder as long as you don't have ant problems.
