I guess I must be the exception, I have 3 Sweeney fish feeders and I have had to work on at least one of them all summer. Maybe I just have 3 lemmons. Just this summer I have had one motor go out, one timer go out, one unit constantly dumped pellets into the lower box housing where the motor is located. If it rains all 3 units leak and the wet pellets form a giant clog of wet (soured) pellets that have to be cleaned out. Sorry to be so negative but these things are wearing me out!
