These economy priced feeders are designed exclusively for the hobbyist. Feed saver lips minimize spillage. The 11 lb. & 22 lb. feeders feature adjustable levels. Anti-Scratch vanes help prevent crowding and feed waste.
Cons: Nightmare in the winter, Easy to Knock Around food dumps
If you have mild winters this is a good product with its ability to be hung or set, cleaning is easy and its affordable. If you live in colder climates this thing can't be used in the winter or it can be with a supplemental heating element. Colder climates I find myself having to get the ice out of water containers and this one is a doozer.
Cons: It is always coming apart, and the feed gets stuck in it.
I bought one of these second hand, and overall, it is an ok feeder, but the feed always gets stuck, even with dry, semi fine food, and you constantly have to make sure it is not about to fall apart.
I have been using one of these (I actually use 3 of them) for about 10 months now with no problems. I don't hang them, I just put them on a flat brick.
