4.0 out of 5 stars Buying it again

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2012

I purchased a Super Solar Sipper several years ago and used it until it cracked and fell apart from age. While not as good as a heated birdbath, I found that the Sipper did its job. The water in it did not freeze unless the temperature was below 20 to 25 degrees, and the birds (and squirrels) in my yard used it all the time. I placed it on a short pole near bushes to give the birds a sense of security when using it and they would be there first thing every morning. Am now purchasing another to replace that one.

4.0 out of 5 stars The birds are happy, I am happy

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2008

I ordered my solar sipper in December. It took the birds a bit of time to discover it, but I have to say it brought me tremendous happiness the first time I drove up to my house and saw a chickadee drinking from my solar sipper! I do take it in at night because it gets so cold here at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me!

We’re in the midst of what seems to be a never ending arctic freeze. Temperatures in the single digits to – 10 and wind chills as low as – 35. I take care of a group of homeless cats ~ some feral, some throw aways. It broke my heart to see them licking at the frozen bowls of water. Even changing it several times a day didn’t help. It froze up almost instantly.
The Solar Sipper does the trick. As another reviewer said, it will freeze up overnight, but it works great during the day, even in these temperatures. I’m so glad I bought one.

UPDATE: 2/7/2014
I just ordered a second one. As I said, it will freeze up overnight. Seeing as I don’t want the kitties I feed to have to wait for me to bring in the frozen one, run hot water over it to loosen the ice and refill it, I decided that having a second one that I can have ready to go in the morning is the answer.
It was ZERO degrees this morning with a wind chill of – 23 and there was still unfrozen water under the ice.
I’m so glad I found this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good product, and it works!

These work perfectly, and keep my feral cats, birds and all animals in the garden happy all winter. I just brought them in at night or they would freeze over but during the day they worked very well and keep a portion of water open for the wild animals and birds to drink from all day.
