I purchased three of these feeders and all three had the same defect. They all worked fine indoors but all failed when put outdoors in temperature at a little less the 40 degrees F. These are reasonably priced, nice looking feeders, easy to use with good functionality, but the analog timer fails in cool weather. It audibly ticks but the dial that activates the feeder motor does not turn. I notified American Hunter of this situation and the rep said they would investigate. Perhaps this feeder would work fine in the south but it is not made to operate in Michigan's deer season.

This feeder works very well, but the clock does not keep the correct time and I must reset it each week when I fill the feeder. I cannot fine a way to increase the speed of the clock.

had two of these until the bears chewed them up! Worked great in all temperatures and weather. Only reason I give it 4 stars is the analogue dial seems a little flimsy, but then it never failed on me either...

This is the second one I've purchased. Had to return the first after nearly a year but the sent a new one. Great customer service & a good feeder for the price. Now if I can get deer instead of hogs....

Have been using one of these units for a few years now before deer season to get the deer used to coming to an area, and they work great I like that you can put a solar panel on them and a squirrel deterrent system.

My husband actually ordered and attempted to use this feeder. He says(and I quote)"it is garbage" --states: it is very un- dependable-american hunter brand never did work right in distributing corn for deer.

Amazon was good--in delivery, but American Hunter leaves much to be desired

I got this for my hubby b-day and the motor did not work. I had to call twice to get an rga# to return it. Have not rec'd the replacement yet but will keep my fingers crossed.

Dont waste your time. The clock that activates the feed wheel was loose when it was delivered to me and before I assembled the unit. I tried to tighten the center nut on the clock face and that did not help. Without the clock being tight it can't activate the switch to the feed wheel. I called the the company for help. Total waste of time. I am returning it to Amazon for a refund. I'll never buy one of American Hunter's products again
