I have several Moultrie feeders. This one has a good feature in that you can easily remove the motorized unit from the feeder container. It has more plastic than previous models. My recommendation is to be sure to have the unit high enough to avoid potential predators. My last one was beat up by a bear.

I liked the old design because you could program it and change the battery without getting on your knees. They decided to put it all in the bottom so now you have to get on your knees to use it. If you have the old style feeder with the timer and battery on the side of the barrel and the lock ring has broke off the feeder, you can remove the bottom cam off this new design and put the old short cam on it by just removing the timer and hooking up the old wires going to the timer on the side of the barrel and it works great.

The battery seems like it last forever compared to other brand feeders. We can get six months use no problem out of a battery ( feed time 4 seconds x twice a day ). Great product, we have four and would not hesitate to buy more.

Guys I've recently purchased several of these feeders. I have several old ones and there great, but the new ones don't last. The first of my 2 new ones that I bought a year ago the timer just went out, the second feeder would feed once at whatever time you set it to go off, but would 't repeat it would only go off once thats it. So I replaced it with another one, and it lasted for 6 weeks, and had to be replaced. Your probably asking why did you buy another one ? Well because of the lock on feature, they only seem to go out when I have the drum full. Lesson learned 1st its cheaper to purchase a new feeder than to replace the moultrie timer, and if you go with another brand feeder it will be a lot of work. Heres the fix, when the timer goes out, and it will, order a game winner timer from academy for $25, wire it up and you will have a feeder you can rely on. Moultrie once was one of the best, now the worst !!!Read full review

Almost endless feed times and amounts available. Only time will tell if it is dependable, so far it works great. Quite satisfied.
