Highly recommend for wet and windy environments. And it keeps the crows and blue jays out! I've bought countless feeders over the years. All failed to keep seed dry and were also very difficult to clean. I've thrown feeders away because I couldn't clean the moldy seed out of them. This is the easiest ever to clean and keeps the seed dry--a miracle in the southeast Alaska rainforest--for reference, we get two to three times more rain than Seattle. The downside is that it's pretty thin plastic and I worry that it won't last... but the ease of cleaning, the fact that the blue jays can't get on and rock it to dump the seed out or otherwise access the feeding stations, and the way it protects the seed from moisture make it worth it even if I need to replace it every few years.

2 years and going strong. Very easy to fill. Cleans fairly easily too. I turned both of mine upside down after assembly and put a few dots of clear silicone under the rain guard/baffle so that it would not slip down. I have a large number and variety of birds and they all seem to eat there,all day!

This bird feeder is the best ever! We have had a lot of different bird feeders and the seed gets wet and the birds waste so much of it but with this feeder they don't waste any seed and you never have to clean it out because it never gets wet. The baffle works great. We've had snowy and rainy weather besides freeze rain and the seed never gets wet. We like it so much we ordered another one for the other side of the house! There's nothing bad to say about this feeder! You wouldn't regret buying one!!

Do not recommend this feeder. Although it appears well-made, there is a serious flaw in its design - no drainage in the tube. The feed ports are large and rain can easily get in and wet the seed. With no drainage, spoilage will be a big problem. Moreover, because the base is metal, drilling some holes to rectify the problem not so easy.

One season of use and it is perfect! High capacity feeder and the large birds along with the squirrels have left it alone. Only took a few days for the smaller birds to figure this feeder out and start using it. They love it. I try to wait a while prior to posting reviews so I can confirm the quality and this is holding up great. A HINT: While the clear plastic trim is snug it can slide down over time but is easy to move back into place by hand. You can also keep the plastic trim at the right height by drilling a hole in the plastic seed holder and putting a small to medium screw in half way. The screw will prevent the trim piece from sliding down to far on the feeder tube over time.
