for my feathered friends Feb 24, 2008
By R. Peters
"for my wife"
We have had over 40" of snow so far this winter. I feed the birds and had tried to put water out for the in the past but it would turn to ice so fast.
What a wonderful idea! Within a day, I had many birds flocking to my heated bird bath! There a few that tend to sit on the rim all day to keep warm too! It seems very easy to clean and set up. My only suggestions would be to keep in mind that they only made the cord VERY short so be careful on where you place it AND that I wish it was a little larger but overall I am VERY happy with this product.

 Not worth the money Feb 20, 2009
By K. Schreck
"Ghost of the Great Highway"
I Purchased this item last winter and found it to be too shallow - just over inch or so. With evaporation and usage, be prepared to fill it a few times a day. It is made of plastic, and if it runs out of water the center may bulge upward from the heat of the element - as mine did. I ended up purchasing a separate heat unit for my concrete bath. It works perfectly. Putting it on a timer so it shuts off at night will save on the electric bill.

 Cord too short! Jan 22, 2010
By Ann Howell
The electrical cord for this birdbath is 8.5 inches long. The instructions say "Do not use with extension cords." Now, this is a deck rail mount birdbath--how many people have an electrical outlet within 8.5 inches of a deck railing?

 The chipmunks like it. Nov 08, 2010
By Deborah R Marziano
I like the product, except that the container for the water does not seat onto the metal rim. It fits like a plastic container that the lid became warped in the dishwasher. You think it is seated, then it pops up. It seems that the heating element works....notice steam on cold mornings.

 Very happy with it Jan 12, 2011
By JimOhio
Before buying this birdbath we'd previously tried one of those heating units you put into your regular bird bath, and while it worked ok it was unattractive and a nuisance to clean. This birdbath has worked out much better. It's attractive, doesn't use much electricity, and since the heating element is built it it's VERY easy to keep clean.
The water depth is less than our regular birdbath but seems adequate. We need to refill it 2 or 3 times a week. If your birds splash around a lot you might have to refill more often, but in the winter our birds mostly just drink.
I agree with the others that the cord is short, but the warning another person mentioned -- "Do not use with extension cords" -- is just standard legalese their lawyers made them put in the instructions. Just use common sense and use an extension cord made for outdoor use.
