I got one more defective one at purchase and then another one that lasted a month.

This was my first attempt at keeping the water in the bird bath from freezing and it worked even on the coldest days.
Sherrie A .Vidmar
After a night of 15 degree temps and an inch of snow, the birds could no longer get to the water.

I bought 2!
By Agatha Kristy on March 26, 2009
Verified Purchase
I bought two of these. Not only does the one work amazingly well in the bird bath, but the other one I put on a pot of dirt, scatter dirt and small gravel over it, and that heater got even more action than the heated bird bath! And that is saying a lot since I am in Northern Wisconsin and we get sixty below zero nights in the winter! (meaning we get 60, or more, below zero nights during the winter months). Birds would not only eat the gravel and the small pile of sunflower seeds, but would sit on the heated dirt and enjoy the warmth and because the container had an inch lip around, it kept a bit of the wind off the birds too.
I highly recommend to any serious bird watcher, that if you are going to heat water, you might want to consider buying two and heat a dirt bath too!

bird bath heater
By Bill J. Schwent on November 20, 2007
Econo Bird Bath 44 Watts
Bought one for the winter of '05 and '06 and it has worked well. No electrocutions yet! It does not work well with a 3" snow fall or more but keeps the water unfrozen 90% of the time. The birds seem to appreciate it.

Best De-Icer for the Money
By V. Christy on October 1, 2009
Verified Purchase
Okay I am re-doing my review. This will be the 3rd year I am again purchasing two of these. I have 2 birdbaths. As soon as I get done with this review I am ordering 2 more again for this winter. In the past I have bought the expensive ones and they usually quit working after one winter. I also don't trust to run them a 2nd season because I don't want to electrocute the birds or me. Thus far these have always worked for me. I haven't received a faulty one and thus far I have ordered 4 of them (2 for each winter). I appreciate that they don't cost much, because even the expensive ones go bad and usually don't work the whole season and for sure not next. These ones also keep a larger area defrosted unlike the more compact expensive de-icers.

So these are the most economical ones out there that I know of. I also like how they lay flat with a few rocks on top. The birds like this. They love sitting on the warm rocks sipping the water in the winter. I put them under a few rocks to hold them in place and they work all winter. I don't mess with them until I throw them away in the Spring. Every spring I throw them away and order new ones for the next winter. I consider them disposable and I don't like to use any birdbath de-icer for more then one winter. That's just me. Once I set them up for winter I don't clean the birdbaths till next spring when I throw these things away. By the next Spring these and any of the expensive ones look so crappy I wouldn't trust to use them a 2nd season and these are the most reasonable priced ones and they lay nice in the birdbath. They do a better job and I have had the expensive ones. Once I bought these I have never went back to the others, they don't last any longer anyway. At least not through the hard winters I get. It freezes almost every night in the winter where I live.

Good affordable product
By Jennifer Murphy-spivey on January 13, 2008
I just couldnt see spending the cost heated birdbaths were going for, and some of the birdbath heaters. I picked this up and it works great. Simple construction, priced reasonably,and keeps the birdbath unfrozen, which is all it needs to do. Nothing fancy but it doesnt need to be. I did find that the cord was pretty short, and it would have been great had it been just a few inches longer as it made it difficult to sit properly when plugged in but not a huge concern.

Fast Delivery
By Joann Rivett on December 17, 2007
These things arrived almost before I logged off the page I ordered them from. I used them in my shallow bird baths and they work great!!! Not one bit of ice.

Economical but easily damaged
By Minerva on February 24, 2010
Verified Purchase
I bought this for the bird bath on my deck this winter. I'm in the Northeast, so most winter nights are 10 degrees (F) or lower. It does need to be held down by a rock or something heavy, and the short cord required an outdoor extension cord. The problem is that other wildlife started dropping by, like squirrels and raccoons, and they seem to have chewed or pawed it. It continued to work for a month after they discovered the water and started messing with the de-icer, but eventually it gave up. All the wires are individually wrapped, and I was impressed that it didn't actually electrocute the animals, considering how the foil was destroyed. I don't blame the manufacturer, but I will not be ordering another one. I'll go for one built into a bird bath or in a more indestructible form.

However if you don't have critters other than birds at your bath, I would highly recommend it. It didn't seem to make much of an impact on my electric bill, and did fine until it was shredded. Even then it died safely, without endangering me or the animals. It works very well at keeping the ice at bay, but does not melt snow.

Sometimes you DO get what you pay for
By Anonymous on January 2, 2010
Just like Shebuela, I ordered this based on the reviews. I received my De-Icer around December 9th. I plugged it in and also got no heat. I, too, thought it was just going to take awhile. The temperature in my area (Atlanta, GA) dipped to just freezing (maybe a degree below) and I got a thin sheet of ice on my water's surface. I was able to crack it with my keys and keep going. I wanted to return it immediately but all the positive reviews lead me to believe it may just be my outlet. I tried a new extension cord. No difference. By the way, I also needed a long outdoor extension cord. I tried another outlet. No difference. I even plugged my curling iron into both outdoor outlets just to make sure they worked. The outlets are fine. Last night we got down to about 27 degrees here. I went outside and found my water frozen solid with the De-Icer stuck in the center. To say the least, I am furious.

Would not recommend.

I bought this is 2011. Never used it. It didn't have a fuse anywhere in the cord, and there is no UL listing. Would not recommend.

It works as far as keeping some water open, but if you think this de-icer is going to keep water from becoming ice in temps that stay in the low teens or below, this will not work... Read more

Good product and works well so far

I put this outside in 1-2" water, and so far it has kept the birdbath mostly free of ice, even though the temperatures lately have been brutal. We'll see how long it lasts.

Excellent product.

I had one of these for years in Ohio. It worked perfectly and kept my birdies happy. It finally gave up the ghost after six years, so I'm purchasing another just like it.

Super!

This was perfect. I placed it in a 18 inch terracotta pan that you would place under a large flower pot. We clamped it to the deck rail and used zip ties to hold the wire. Read more
