I own one of the Perky Pet Planter Box Hummingbird feeders and four of the Perky Pet Window feeders (see my review for that one). This feeder is very easy to set up, clean, and use. While it's not as good as the window feeder and has a few problems, it is worth getting for variety and if some adjustments are made.
Pluses:
+Super easy to set up+
There is nothing to do but pick a spot to place the wire and hang the feeder.
+Easy to clean.+
With the exception of the bee guard, the main bottle can be cleaned well with a baby bottle brush cleaner. Just use dish soap, warm water, scrub it out well, and rinse. The end cap can be cleaned as well. The bee guard can be cleaned, but I am never quite able to get it as clean as I like due to the tiny openings.
+Super easy to fill.+
Turn the feeder upside down, unscrew the bottom cap, add the sugar water, screw the cap back on, turn it right side up, and hang from the wire...Read more

This review is from: Perky-Pet 215P Planter Box 3-Ounce Plastic Hummingbird Feeder with Hanging Rod (Lawn & Patio)
The feeder is the perfect size, the hangers are junk. When you fill the feeder and put it on the hanger - it does not hold it up. I bought some heavy(er) gauge wire rod and formed them and they work perfectly. The bee guard surprised me. We have a "standard" hummingbird feeder also in the back yard, one day a swarm of bees came in and almost covered the feeder without the guard. Bees would fly to the new feeders and get disinterested and just leave and go back to the un-guarded feeder.

This little feeder works great in high wind liquid stays inside plastic tube. its a nice size that I refill every 3 days to keep solution fresh and for the hummers who are Urdanites its a spot of relief to find food in the concrete city. Just bought 4 more for friends. Huuuumer this Suuummer!!
