The hummers love this feeder. I have quite a few hummingbird feeders out and can have as many as 20 hummingbirds at a time. They favor the ones that they hover at much more than the ones that they sit at. This feeder holds enough that I don't have to fill it more than once a day and it is easy to clean. Other people have complained that it leaks horribly. This happened to me once, but I took the feeder all apart, including the bottom section where the spring is and when I put it back together it was fine. Something must have been loose. Sometimes I will see drips of nectar beneath it on my porch, but no more than some other feeders. Overall, the hummers love it, so I love it.
