QUICK-SET BUCKET

Very well made

I dont usually write reviews... I have had this feeder in the woods for 4 years. Not seasons... years. I replace the battery at the beginning of the hunting season and it works all season. Its feeds the deer like it should. The raccoons (and there are a lot!) can't get the lid off. Probably one of the best things that I've ever purchased on Amazon... and that's why I'm writing this review. UPDATE... This feeder has been in the woods for 5 years. Last weekend my hunting buddy noticed that it was not working. He brought the feeder to his house, cleaned it, and replaced the corroded alligator clips. I am happy to report that the feeder is back in the woods and throwing corn like a champ! Someday maybe it will die and then I'll gladly purchase another one. Great product - do yourself a favor and get one.

So I purchased this feeder because a good buddy of mine had something very similar and the aim was to have multiple feeders for a far more cost effective price. I'm impressed with its durability and its price personally. There are three things however that I dont like about this product. The first, its obviously going to be hung so instead of using a standard paint can handle why not a solid metal bar hooked in the center or even a chain? Second, the feeders cap has individual flanges that you press inward to lock it tight, a standard press and lock cap would be far faster and far more convenient, just like a 5 gallon paint can. Third, the feeder can throw! Its tossing corn 15-20' at 6' height no problem. I personally dont like that so I came up with a quick fix. I attached a garbage bag to the feeder and cut the bottom out, now all the corn hits the bag and falls strait down. Furthermore I'm hoping it helps to prevent any water damage in the future. A pillow case may have been better just because of the weight of the fabric and less sound. I'll see what I get on my trail camera and if necessary switch to a black or brown pillow case. Update 06-02-2024 the feeder has finally rusted through the top cap spoiling feed but the motor still works perfectly with NO signs of corrosion! Will be switching it over to a plastic 5 gallon paint can from home depot! Love this thing!

Pretty easy to assemble and does take some tools. Only feeds twice a day and you can not set the time it feeds. It feeds an hour after daylight (approx) and an hour before sunset (approx). Other than that it is an excellent item. Feeds great and works great. Great value

Great

Handle pulled out of feeder after 1month, simply under the weight of the corn in the feeder. Since it’s a very cheap plastic holding the feeding mechanism to the bucket, the drop completely destroyed the feeder.

Worked as advertised. I painted the sides of the bucket where the seams come together so they wouldn't rust. I also used two short bungee cords to hold the lid on (not a tight fit). On the rope to hang the feeder I also included a lid from a 5 gallon plastic bucket that sat on top of a knot in the rope about 3 feet from where the feeder attached to the rope. The lid acted as a deterrent to squirrels and other critters crawling down the rope and cleaning out the feeder! For performance, the unit operates as it was supposed to going off religiously 1 hour before sundown and 1 hour after sun up. It really slings the corn, so look out if you are sitting too close to the thing.

This feeder is a good and economical feeder. The functionality is not a problem, but the features are limited in the price range. Pro: 1. Price, it is an economical choice for the cash strapped hunter, unless you want a cheap gravity feeder. 2. It is easy to assemble, however your will need to drill a couple of pilot holes. 3. It is compact and lightweight. 4. I do not lose 120 lbs of corn in one night due to pest like raccoons, turkey's etc. Con: 1. The lid is difficult to seal. It is a tab type of lid and requite a screw driver or a tool to open and close. 2. The feeder empties in two days on the medium setting, there is no good control for this setting, It would be easier if it was a digital control, but once again the feeder is economical. 3. The handle needs an anchor point for the rope. I could buy just the feeder without the bucket and and bought a bucket with a lid from Lowes. 4. The battery connection specifically needs to be used with a slim 6 volt wild game innovations battery. I tried another battery and it was too tight. Overall: This feeder is good for an economical choice, but if you have to go fill it every two days it is frustrating. It is better than a gravity feeder because you may have to contend with more wildlife with a gravity feeder. Typically my gravity feeder are damaged by raccoons and emptied by squirrels and birds.
