(More customer reviews)I was hoping this de-icer would be a bit smaller. Here's why:
Typical bird baths should be fairly shallow or the birds will not bathe but simply drink from them. I realize it's rare that a bird will bathe in the winter, but it does happen.
The problems I have with this device are the size and the temperature.
I have a pond de-icer that keeps the water at exactly 34 degrees, this device I believe is much warmer and causes a lot of evaporation. As well, the cord should really be much longer to keep the connection further away from the water. The size is a little large and I think it could be easily engineered to be smaller. Because of the size, it barely gets below the surface of the water in my bird bath and I would imagine the same would happen in most shallow bird baths.
I don't mind maintaining the level of the water daily but if I have to leave for a few days, the water totally evaporates from the bird bath due to it being too warm. That's a problem. Also, there's not an auto-shut-off feature with this device if the water level dips below the norm. I think for the same cost, a more efficient and smaller device could be designed.
