Review title: Stripped gears in spinner = expensive waste of money
Product review: This feeder violates a basic law of engineering: simpler is better. Not long after installing this pricey toy in my backyard, the gears in the spinning mechanism gave out. My conclusion was that they were stripped, although I did not take it apart to confirm that diagnosis. All I know is that the spinning mechanism stopped working. I could have shipped the unit back for repair or replacement, but who needs the hassle? My advice: stick with a feeder with no moving parts that also does not require charging. I use two Droll Yankees tube feeders hanging from a dual arm post equipped with a torpedo squirrel guard. Located at least 8 feet from the nearest tree, this set-up has completely eliminated my squirrel problem. Simple and effective.
