Ice Free Bird Bath [Posted on 2007-04-21]
This is a high quality product. In this day and age of inferior "cheap" goods, this one is not part of that group. Rugged construction, well thought design, and using an economical 200-watts on a thermostat too, makes this a 5-star product.

Birds have a hard time finding a good water source during the coldest months, and providing an un-frozen bird bath is a sure way to earn points with your wild birds. Even though the water in your bird bath should be changed daily, keep an eye on your bath in the winter because this will cause the water to evaporate quickly (I would estimate 3/4-in in a day).

You will be pleased with this heater.

And, it is made right here in the USA!

Limited lifespan [Posted on 2007-12-06]
I'm on my second heater of this model and am searching for a different model. The prior one lasted about three years and now I find my bird water frozen solid with my latest acquisition from about three years ago. The fellow at the feed store tells me that is about its typical lifespan.

The main issue I have with this model is that it is not very stabile in the pan and the heating coil tends to tip up above the top of the water level. I've tried epoxying the unit to the bottom of the pan, but even using epoxy intended for underwater use looses its grip after a few weeks.

Still looking [Posted on 2008-11-17]
This product only had a life span of two years for us. When it worked it kept the bath mostly clear of ice and snow even in our MN winters. Our prior heater, from Allied, at least made it five years. We used both of them in a stand built for a farm supply three gallon feeding tub (racoons broke all of our regular bird baths) and both of them worked about equally well, that is when they worked.
