I've used the search and all I find is older posts, so I'll ask for current info on this.

I know there is plenty of info on Sweeney and Texas, then there are the really low end with very mixed reviews but I see a few around the $600 range that might be all I need.

One acre pond, started hand feeding last year and when the ice is gone, we will again start feeding but would like to use a feeder this year to be more consistent. The pond is close to the house so easily monitored.

I see one from ASF called EZ Feeder for $600 - the company has a long history of making feeders so that is a plus though I don't see reviews.

There is the Woods to Water Everlast also for about $600.

Are there others in that price range and/or does anyone have knowledge of these or others preferably in use for first hand knowledge?
