4.0 out of 5 stars
keeping our fine feathered friends happy, June 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Schrodt Designs MBB-12P 12" Misty Bird Bath, Plum (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this gift for my father and he enjoys the fact that he does not need to walk out every morning and refil the birdbath like he does the other ones in his yard. I also bought a battery watering timer to control the spray mist. This way, it turns on for an hour every morning, fills the bath and it is set for the entire day until it fills again the next day! I highly recommend.

Good birdbath, August 24, 2002
This review is from: Schrodt Designs MBB-12P 12" Misty Bird Bath, Plum (Lawn & Patio)
This is a cool item. You assemble it (fairly simple), push it into the ground (very easy in a raised bed, get ready to dig otherwise), turn on the water, and adjust the regulator. Mine did have some initial problems with the regulator but Schrodt sent replacement parts that fixed it. Note that the water level shot out by the mister will vary based on how much water pressure you have from day to day, but it's not that big of a problem. Many of the parts are plastic, but it's probably not that big of a deal. The big deal is that Shrodt is easy to contact and they really support their product. Buy with confidence. I hooked my bbath up to a [price] Gilmour water timer (goes on/off twice a day) and I never touch it except to hose out the bowl once a week. You may not even need to do it that often given that the mister always is refreshing the water (the excess water drips over the side). The cardinals seem to like it. The dish isn't as big as some, and I've yet to see any larger birds in it. Perhaps those would be better suited to the 24" bowl. This is a attractive, unobtrusive little unit that you can keep nearer to the house, and I recommend it.

NICE LOOKING BUT WITH TECHNICAL PROBLEMS, April 13, 2007
This review is from: Schrodt Designs MBB-12P 12" Misty Bird Bath, Plum (Lawn & Patio)
Yes, the mister is a bit tricky to control, but not impossible. Where the tubing attaches to the bowl, the little connector thingie is too short. I had this all set up and it fell apart and I never could get it back together properly. With some improvisation and a little connector from the hardware store, we got it back together. BUT, I have never been able to get the mister angle correct so that it sprays directly upward. Bummer, because this is a neat looking addition to my hummingbird garden. Also, I did contact Schrodt via email soon after receiving it, but never did get a reply.
