I have used several different types of feeders and have hated a lot of them or the hummers wouldn't feed from them. I bought several saucer feeders and have thrown all of them away. Not one of them hangs straight so half of the stations have no liquid. I hang from short chains, but I got so frustrated trying to keep them level that I just chunked them.
I have used several of the plastic ones but worry about really cleaning them. I like to be able to break one down so that I can soak them to disinfect them. I also don't need a quart sized feeder that only has four stations, really, how long will it take to empty it.
I do have several types but I now have eight made by Cedar Works, four of which I bought this fall. The birds love them, they are stable, have six ports, and totally break down for cleaning. The flowers come off, the bowl snaps apart, the top rubber piece unscrews, and even the little white tube tips come off. They hold a little less than a quart and even have little perches built in to the flowers for resting, which my guys do a lot. Lastly, they are relatively inexpensive and last a long time. My first one is now four years old.
