• Comments: Enormous 96-oz. capacity makes it indispensible for high-traffic situations, but could be a liability in desert climates where solution ferments in a day. Should not be filled completely unless you count at least 10 hummers around it at once; then it should be watched for spoilage. Extremely easy to clean, as the hand will fit in both base and column for scrubbing. No bottle brush or funnel required. Perch to port proportions very hummer-friendly. This model is being discontinued, but the manufacturer retains some stock. Contact Customer Service at (303) 751-9000.
