Shipping was fast and product arrived in good condition. Needed to attach the feeder motor device to the bucket; this took just seconds using self tapping screws and cordless drill. Had previously purchased 6V lantern type battery with spring contacts which does not come with the feeder and was simple to slide the batter into the side of the feeder unit and #39;clamp#39; into place. Switched on the feeder and referred to the instructions on setup. Without the supplied summary programming card would have been difficult to program.

Shipping was fast and product arrived in good condition. Needed to attach the feeder motor device to the bucket; this took just seconds using self tapping screws and cordless drill. Had previously purchased 6V lantern type battery with spring contacts which does not come with the feeder and was simple to slide the batter into the side of the feeder unit and #39;clamp#39; into place. Switched on the feeder and referred to the instructions on setup. Without the supplied summary programming card would have been difficult to program. Was straight forward otherwise and works as specified in the instructions.Filled the bucket with cracked corn and took out to our timber to #39;install#39;. Hung on low branch that I had pruned off and then secured handle with small piece of wire to ensure it would slip off. Did #39;test#39; of feeder run one of pre-programmed functions and it ran perfectly. Set up my game camera and walked away.Came back in 4 days for recheck. Bucket was 2/3 empty as expected. Had numerous pictures on camera mostly squirrels and cotton tail rabbits to start but also one forked horn white tail. I refilled the bucket and left.PROS: great price point convenient to place easy to fillCONS: Lid to bucket supplied with purchase does not snap or screw on it just #39;sits#39; on top of the bucket. It does get #39;pinched#39; into place by the handle but worry squirrels might work this problem out. Would be easy to screw motor onto new bucket or any other container you choose after cutting out 2 inch hole in bottom.- not sure about battery life yet would be nice to have battery meter built in to unit.OVERALL: would recommend so far will update as I go.nbsp;LessLuke Review provided by sportsmansguide.comAll Reviews
