The need for clearance

Remember it’s the squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing weight on the feeder, he will have access to the seed ports. Allow for at least 18 inches or 47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder, thus triggering the closing mechanism.

Locating your feeder

You can locate this bird feeder anywhere and be squirrel free. Position it to get great close-up views of your favorite birds. Hang your feeder over a window, in a tree, on a deck, a fence, in your garden, on the side of your house, from a rain trough or over sliding doors. Use brackets, extension hooks and tree hooks to hang your feeder at the recommended clearance. Hooks and brackets are available at birding stores, garden centers and hardware supply stores. Your feeder prevents squirrels from eating expensive seed, scaring the birds and damaging your feeder. Enjoy being free of squirrel problems, but please remember, squirrels also need to eat. For the price of a few peanuts, or inexpensive cracked corn, squirrels will be happy to entertain.

The feeding ports are not well anchored in the plastic seed tube. Squirrels can pop them out. After popping them back in a few times, the plastic around the ports is cracked and will no longer hold the ports securely in place. I loved it while it was working, only wish it were more durable.

Ten years old and still works great

This feeder has brought endless fun to our family. It works perfectly despite having its stand knocked over by deer, and then being clobbered by a bear - it deed need a new part after the bear incident but I love the way you continue to support your customers with parts so we don't have to buy a whole new feeder.

Great products and great service!

After 9 years of use, my squirrel buster plus developed a crack and wouldn't hold the seed any more. Customer service sent me a replacement part for free, and now the feeder works like new. This is an excellent product and service couldn't be better. It may be a bit more expensive, but no other feeder keeps out the squirrels like this one, and it is very well designed.

Best feeder and great customer service

★★★★★
After continually replacing other feeders chewed by squirrels, I switched to the Brome Classic feeders and have had three for YEARS. Such a cost savings over time. These feeders are tough and the birds love them!! I recently had to replace a frayed cable holding on the lid/cover that was either chewed or worn. I submitted the issue to Brome online on a Monday evening, received a reply the next day that it would be replaced, and received the part on Thursday afternoon. Can't beat that for customer service. They really stand behind their product! Very pleased.

A real squirrel buster!

★★★★☆
For two months now not one squirrel has figured out how to defeat the "Classic". It does drop some seeds, but I view it as a positive in keeping the squirrels on the ground scavenging. The only downside is the difficulty in loading it with seeds going everywhere. Other than that the feeder appears well made and should last.

Squirrels jump from tree and spin the feeder, spilling seeds on the ground. When the seeds are eaten, squirrels repeat the jump/spin until the feeder is empty. . .
