About Best-1 Hummingbird Feeder
The Best-1 Hummingbird Feeder is a popular and long-used product, considered by many to be the best on the market. Hummingbirds love the feeders and appreciate the red perch that allows them to rest while drinking. The feeders are generally easy to clean. However, several consistent issues are noted across recent reviews. The plastic red perch and the bottom base or lid can crack or break over time, which can cause the feeder to become unsecure or wiggly. Some customers report that newer versions have a metal band that seems thinner and less sturdy, and that some feeders do not hang straight, with the red dish appearing tilted. While replacement parts like bottles and bases are available for purchase, finding and ordering them can be difficult for customers, and some note the cost of parts is high. A broken glass bottle can be replaced. Some users employ solutions like tape to help with fit. The company is not a public store from its listed address. A common question from users is whether a bee guard works well with this specific feeder design.

Complaints about the metal hanger slipping on the glass are warrantable. I found that silicon adhesive (glue) applied between the metal and glass solves the problem. Clean the two surfaces, apply adhesive liberally and allow 48 hours to cure. I also give a healthy tug on the hanger prior to each cleaning/refilling occurrence...

Yes i have had bands slip too and yes i have had the plastic red perch break. I put electricians tape around the top above the band. I am always in a hurry and dont let the nectar cool before putting in the bottle. The tape allows for some expansion and contract. No solution for broken perch.

I too have had the metal bands fail, leading to smashed glass everywhere. I am disappointed, as I love the ease of cleaning these feeders, but I am giving up after failure #3.
