3.0 out of 5 stars Great but filled with problems you won't forget, December 14, 2008

By	Zanzibar (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Contech Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder (Misc.)

I found this terrific, but filled with a host of problems you won't soon forget. Not even a day passed before my squirrels popped the lid off the top. There is no electricity at the top to stop them. I spent another $20 and quite a few hours and modified the top and wiring to electrify that as well. Thank goodness I am handy. This could prove frustrating if you are not handy, nor clever too. The birds can't get to the seed at the last 2" from the bottom and that quickly rots and drives the birds away. The inside is especially difficult to clean and I needed a long stick to pry out the damp solidified seed and a lot of patience to clean it. A lot of what looks like metal in the photos is silver painted plastic and while I assembled it right from the box I broke the plastic top off and had to return it for another. Don't plan to hand the metal wire bar in the picture over the branch or you will break the top right off. You need to hang this off a wire. The holes for suspending the metal wire bar are especially poorly designed. The battery cover is attached with tiny screws so be prepared to lose them. All of these problems could have easily been remedied by the staff that designed it. What a shame they didn't. Overall its excellent at keeping squirrels away. I was so inundated with sparrows after the squirrels were gone I scratched my head and wondered what have I done?

This review is from: Contech Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder (Misc.)

I purchased this product in June. I absolutely loved it! Much to my suprise, by December, it was no longer working. Since it has a 2 yr. warranty, I contacted the manufacturer (Contech) for a replacement. They were very willing to send a replacement unit. When I received the replacement within the week of my contact, it was not the same procut. They indicated that this particular item had been discontinued (because of performance issues). They could replace the item with the Squirrel stop. I guess that's fine, except that this item is half the price of the Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder. They were unwilling to adjust my purchase price ($89 vs $45). I don't think I'll be purchasing another Contech product. Buyer Beware!
