Amazon.com Review
Despite the example set by a popular comic strip character, birds do not actually view winter as a great opportunity to practice skating figure eights on the icy surface of a birdbath. Those feathered friends that do not fly south instead are denied the opportunity to play and bathe until the ice cracks. Even if the waters have not frozen over, it seems inconsiderate to subject the small bird body to frigid swimming waters. To enable year-round, comfortable bathing for birds, Allied Precision Industries (API) created this heated birdbath.
The birdbath features a built-in thermostat that operates at 150 watts to prevent waters from freezing. The 120-volt heating element is located underneath the plastic basin's surface and provides warmth in temperatures as low as -20 degrees F. In hot weather, the electrical cord stores neatly underneath the basin. The simple birdbath design provides a rim designed specifically for a natural talon grip. For birdbath installation, API employs their clever EZ-Tilt-To-Clean deck rail mount. The basin attaches to the mount securely, yet tilts from a sturdy hinge to allow users to quickly dump out dirty water. The mount uses a screw clamp to grip a rail, needing no drills for application. To best attract birds, place the birdbath in a sheltered southeast location and stock with fresh water regularly. The bath measures 20 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth. This item weighs 4-4/5 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Heated Tilt Bird Bath,
By Dru's MeMe (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: API 650 Heated Bird Bath with Mounting Bracket (Lawn & Patio)
It was difficult to rate this item; the water does not freeze, even in 20 degree temps, and the bath does, as advertised, tilt easily to empty. However, the mounting bracket used for this item needs to be redesigned - while it does allow the bath to be tilted for cleaning, it is so flimsy that a heavy rain, wind or even a large bird can cause it to lean heavily to one side or another. If the bracket were more stable, perhaps with a latch to keep the bath more level, I would be completely pleased with it, as it is, however, I can give it only a 3.

Don't waste your money,
By Kelsey Dawg "kelseydawg" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: API 650 Heated Bird Bath with Mounting Bracket (Lawn & Patio)
This was one of the worst purchases I have ever made. First, it was impossible to mount on my deck railing, even after getting assured by customer service it would work. Then, I got a stand for it and had the "certified" extension cord running to it. Within 2 weeks the plug from the bird bath that went into the extension cord CAUGHT ON FIRE!!!!!!! I called the company (again) and they told me that it is not their fault and they would not do anything for me. Period. I left 3 messages for the "manager" and they have still not called me back. Incidentally, they are located VERY close to me and I even offered to bring the product to them so they could see it. They wanted nothing to do with me doing that. I highley recommend NOT buying this bird bath or any other made by Allied. Now I am out around $100 (bird bath, stand, extension cord) with nothing to show for it.

Hot stuff,

This review is from: Farm Innovators HBI-150 All Seasons Premium Heated Birdbath with Deck Mount & Perch, Tan, 150-Watt (Lawn & Patio)
Yes, it works, but is badly overpriced. A few issues that I'd be willing to overlook if it were $20-30 less:
1. Water temperature routinely hits 70-80°F, measured with a digital thermometer, when ambient is above freezing. Mfr says this is normal. Basically, the thermostat isn't sensitive. If you don't mind paying to run a hot tub for birds, here you go. 2. Difficult to level. The bath is made of two pieces, a base that screws to the deck railing, and a bowl that screws to the base. If you're hoping to level the base with a torpedo and screw the bowl on it, lots of luck. I think you might be able to assemble the whole thing, fill it, and then level it. 3. Emptying it is difficult. It doesn't tilt like some others. You have to unscrew it, which means you're going to get bird bath water all over yourself. I've found letting the water freeze and then heating it enough to lift the block of ice out is effective. 4. There doesn't seem to be much clearance under the bowl. If your extension cord had a heavy duty plug, it may or may not fit. 5. I'm not happy with the quality of the plastic. You're probably going to have to fuss with the base and it can only take so much. Ditto for the bowl's threads. Anyhow, if you need a high-powered bird bath for a frigid climate, this could certainly fill the bill. Suggest you look at competing models, though. 2115|R3SEF8J1YA34FP;2115|R33FOXR3AKOOCF;2115|R2QLEAZ0O2SB9J;
