This is a decent quality feeder. But it needs some modifications to work correctly. Take off the junk actuator. Just make it a free choice gravity feeder . It’s is too low to the ground. The feed ports need to be minimum of 40 inches from the ground. You can do that by cutting a 2x6 into some. blocks of wood. 5 blocks for each feeder leg. Screw them together Drill a 1/2 hole through them and stake it down with some 1/2 inch anchor stakes 24 In inches long . To keep squirrels and coons from climbing the legs. You can put the legs in 6 inch pvc pipe at least 4 feet long before complete assembly.

Feeder has been in use for a little over a year. The actuator starting faulting a little towards the end of the warranty period. I thought at first it was the timer but trouble shooting through the components deduced it was the actuator finally when it completely stopped working. Replaced with one that matched the specs and the feeder is working again. I actually like the feeder and it's design and over construction. It's not light duty like the ones you get from a box store but not as stout as some of your independent fabricators but you get what you pay for construction wise . The timer does require you to pull the fuse and clean it every 3-4 months. I recommend you add to the sealant around the view windows and leg bolts

Great feeder for the price! Mine survived a bear knocking it over while almost full of feed. Stood it back up and it seems fine. Will buy another.

Durable and well made. Sight glass is great. Timer and feed gating working as designed. Much better than the rotomold plastic feeders.
