This feeder is not built strongly enough to securely hold together when filled with a full 3G of water. The weight will pull the top off while moving/maneuvering and you will end up with 3G of water all over you, your run, your coop, etc. Usually when it's below freezing.
Also, it is a bottom fill, which is pretty awkward, wet, and messy. I didn't see this listed in the description, where I purchased it from.
The heating element seems to work well and has a nice heavy duty cord. That's why I gave it 2 stars.
We are already looking for a better option and will not use this again next year.
I'm leaving this review so others are forewarned. It will hold 2G without falling apart, but it's supposed to hold a full 3G.
Glad I got this on sale & didn't pay full price, lol
