Got this for my mother as her first hummingbird feeder. I like several elements of this feeder. First and foremost, made in USA and still a competitive price and quality. Instructions are good. I also like that the it old take a small amount of the liquid food / sugar water. My mom makes it herself and this allows her to not waste much liquid / food when she regularly changes and washes the feeder. I have been amazed at how quickly the hummingbirds spotted it! The 2nd day she pyt it up we saw our first one :) My mom isn’t the most handy / mechanically inclinde person in the world, and she was quickly able to instal it. I also like the design. It’s simple, small and when cleaning or filling the feeder, the suction cups stay on her window and she easily removes the rest of the unit. It seems simple, smart, well made and the hummingbirds seem to love it! (...and made in the USA from a “healthier” type of plastic.) Oh yeah, having not installed it myself I assumed that the little birds would eat/ drink from the center / top of the feeder. It wasn’t until I saw a hummingbird feeding that I realized there are little plastic flowers in/ on the red plastic top-sides. These flower shapes show the hummingbirds where they can access the food (by sticking their straw-like beak and drink up the liquid). It’s funny to say, but the hummingbirds understood this design instantly. You could say that the hummingbirds are the ones that showed me how this feeder actually works. My mom likes it so much that I plan on ordering her at least 2 more. (& I have looked around at the other feeders available, and I’ll still be ordering more of this same exact feeder. She also said if she were buying more feeders for herself, she would order more of this same item. Ants...? The other reviewer said they had trouble with ants. We have not experienced this. My mom does get a lot of ants at her place, but she hasn’t gotten a single ant (or any bug) with this feeder. I would think there are many factors at play here - most of which I’m unaware of. I do know it has not been an issue for her. If ants become an issue in the future, I’ll try and remember to update my review.) Recommended...I’ll be ordering more!! Thanks :)

This product needs a redesign, to include a moat to keep ants out. I have had it for years and am about to completely give up on it. It fills with tiny ants so quickly, even with bee guards on the inside feeding tips, requiring nearly daily change of hummer sugar water to keep it clean for the hummers. I have begun to think of it as a lovely little ant trap. Please redesign this- it's a great idea that needs improvement. Also, while you are at it, a third suction cup would secure it to glass better. I have found it hanging from one suction cup, drained, perhaps after an oriole has tried to feed on it.
