Had to return it.
Jun 3, 2023
Had to return it. I filled it and hung it then discovered the next day that it had all drained out on the ground below it. The top of the clear part is polished like there should be a gasket there, but there isn't. Needs a gasket, and a redesign of the screw on lid to ensure there is a tight seal.

Float leaks, is filled with fluid so now the nectar just drains out. Feeder lasted about 5 months. It's a nice design but with poor quality control. Avoid utill they fix this and market a feeder with improved float. Sad.

quality seemed fine but the float plug in it fills with your hummingbird food which stops it from floating and closing the valve that holds the reservoir back. it just trickles out till empty. I called and they replaced it with the same feeder. which was great, but that one did the same thing. Read the reviews, it is a known problem they have not addressed! Wish I had.

It leaks, all the syrup leaks out in a short time. Can't believe the engineer did not figure that out.

We're sorry to hear this! Be sure to check that the base is tight, and that the bottle neck threads line up correctly to help prevent leaking. For best results, we recommend hanging the feeder in the shade as well as out of high traffic or windy areas. Please feel free to contact us at 855-737-5973 for additional tips and tricks!

Was excited to buy this product. They have a good idea with filling the hummingbird nectar from the top. Problem with this hummingbird feeder is that it leaks. I followed the written instructions and also watched the video. I think this could be a good product if they fix the leak issue.

We are sorry to hear about this and appreciate your feedback. Making sure your feeder is protected from the wind will help prevent leaks. You should also protect it from the sun, since liquid expands as it gets warmer. Another tip to try is to disassemble the feeder and then re-assemble it to ensure that everything is sealed up nice and tight! If your feeder still continues to leak, it is good to know that it is covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy. Please contact us at 1-855-737-5973 for assistance.

Design failure...won't hold water
Apr 10, 2021
This feeder perfectly fit the description of what I wanted but failed to live up to my expectations. The float in the bottom that keeps the bird food in the feeder, took on liquid after the first 2 fills and because it wouldn't float right, the water just leaked out. We never could figure out how the water got in and the float itself didn't come apart to get it out. Good concept with the float but needs work. This was not a sunlight/heat issue...The first time we discovered the leaking, I had filled it at night and left it sitting on the kitchen counter overnight...every bit leaked out, under my cooktop and down into my cabinets.
leaky and hard to clean.

Leaky, have to completely disassemble bottom portion and remove all flowers to prevent mildew from getting a hold. I much prefer the Oasis model. They do not hold as much, but it is much easier to clean, and just 2 parts!
No replacements!
Apr 26, 2020
I've been really happy with this feeder, but I'm so disappointed that I cannot buy replacement flowers. I specifically bought a glass feeder so that I could get more than one season out of it, but after one Oklahoma summer, the soft flowers have disintegrated. Next time, I'll go with a brand that sells replacement parts.
