Helpfulness
Have had yankee flippers for ...
Jul 19, 2023
Have had yankee flippers for nearly twenty years. Multiple feeders, replacement batteries and chargers. Now you can't find a replacement Ni-CAD battery and you can't find a charger for the LI-ION battery. Need a recommendation because I understand more birds has bought Droll Yankee - but we need help - getting tired of feeding squirrels!

Micro switch failure
Oct 2, 2022
Unit worked as advertised until it stopped spinning. I opened battery case and troubleshooted the entire electrical circuit. Every component checked out but the pin type micro switch. Can the micro switch be sold separately? I have the expertise to replace the switch.
Having to buy a replacement stick is entirely to expensive. A 10¢ part failed and an expensive feeder is headed to a landfill!
Five stars for functionality and one star for failed micro switch.
Powerstick replacement
Oct 2, 2022
My previous Flipper lasted for 12-15 years, at least, before falling victim to a bear attack.
The replacement feeder is only about 4 years old but suddenly no longer holds a charge. I am reluctantly replacing the power stick but now find that it is SOLD OUT. I think that says something about the reliability of this part. Please review whoever is manufacturing this item because it is clearly inferior to its predecessor.
This feeder really works against squirrels (and bad karma)
Oct 2, 2022
My wife and I had given up against the squirrel squadrons. The squirrels can navigate past any barrier, it seemed. Then we tried this Powerschtick, er Powerstick. One caveat: be sure to retain/not lose the small 1 centimeters rubber item that sits on the rim of base unit and activates the spinner. We did this accidentally when taking apart the unit outdoors to clean the entire feeder, given concerns about spreading disease to visiting birds.
It's the switch . . .

I have had battery trouble on two flipper motors (of three I have bought) but it was the switches that were a real disappointment. My oldest has the "pin" type switch (see photo), worked great (until battery failed). But both newer ones have more of a "square" shaped switch (see photo) that seems, after a bit of time, not to "connect" (close the circuit, I guess) in a reliable way. So the spin only occurs one time out of three or four. And I agree with many other commenters: too expensive. And reading the same canned response to each complaint says to me the Droll Yankees do not actually care about their customers. Jeez.
