I've tried several feeders and prefer this one so much that I bought three! The capacity is good for 3-4 days of fresh food for the hummers, it doesn't leak (!!!), and the clean, classic style looks good. I hesitated to switch out an older feeder that the birds loved, but the birds started using this one right away! They use the perch and just sit for a while. Only the underbase is plastic, but it is covered with the copper plate with the feeding flowers and you don't see the plastic. Plus, it is very easy to clean. I highly recommend this feeder.

When I posted this review:
"This feeder is attractive until the metal starts to rust soon after use. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem under a roof or something but in the yard it soon becomes really unsightly."
I didn't realize I'd gotten a defective product but with no prompting from me, the Birdscapes people got in touch and explained that apparently the final step of coating the metal with a clear coat had been omitted. They sent me a replacement one at no cost and the finish is totally different to the touch. It's been up for a while and is holding up great - it's easy to clean and gets a lot of hummer traffic. I'm contemplating getting another one for the other side of the yard - so much more attractive than the red plastic ones.

For some reason my original review was never posted, but we've owned this for over a year now. It looks nice, definitely much better than all those tacky red ones. The glass container is also nice because it doesn't turn yellow like the plastic, bulb one we had before. And the hummingbirds really seem to like it.

However, the biggest issue are the rust spots. The top cover and the perch ring rusted in some spots within the first week. I had concerns over longevity because of this, but the top has not gotten worse. The perch ring however has and is very rusty in the center bottom where it attaches to the base. But, you cannot see the rust unless looking at it up close, so it is not an eyesore at all.

Our other complaint is that it is so long and narrow, it is difficult to clean. Most brushes are to big to fit in the opening, or too short to reach all the way to the top.

Still, if I had to but another feeder I'd probably still but this because even with these setbacks it's still better looking than so many others.
