Okay, i will admit the first thing that drew me to this product was the "cute" factor lol Mind you as time has passed i have been impressed with the performance, even more so as winter has begun, while i wouldn't recommend this on occasion we have forgotten to haul it in overnight and it's ended up being out in below freezing temps...
Yet despite this, it has not cracked, broke or lost functionality. Quite a feat IMO for a waterer. Obviously, our main use has been with it as a waterer, it is unique in that it can be used as a feeder but i find feeders placed on the ground to be difficult with chickens as they tend scratch feed out of them.
That said, it does work fine as a feeder, we used feed in a crumble form . It's been used here for quite awhile and no fading to the graphics has occurred and neither has the green bottom faded either, which i was pleasantly surprised to find as this is an outdoor feeder/waterer for us.
So, in the end i would rate this as a nice little feeder/waterer combo, it's cute and most importantly functions just as it's intended.
