How does it perform in rain.. Is it waterproof ?

The water if any isn't a problem. The only issue I have had was when it got really cold this winter, the seeds in the tray portion froze after it got wet. One quick tap and it was fine, the rest of the food was dry. I wish I had gotten the largest one!

No, it isn't waterproof but in normal weather conditions, if it does get wet it dries out quickly. It is the only feeder I have found that is truly squirrel proof. The birds love it so the seed disappears quickly. The only negative is that gourmet bird food, the ones with fruit, can clog the openings.

The only area open to the elements are the 4 feeding ports on the bottom. The upper part is metal & plastic. The area where you refill seed is closed when not being filled. I supposed if you had a lot of rain & left the seed for an extended time it would clump. But this is a tiny feeder, & mine empties nearly daily.

It's not waterproof , when it rains it gets wet . If you don't wantthat hang it inside your house , the birdseed will last longer too .

The clear plastic seed tube (which is very heavy duty) fits inside of the all metal mesh shroud. The top rim of the seed tube fits about 1/2" below the top cover of the metal shroud. If it was sealed there would condensation and you don't want that. I have had some very heavy rain storms this spring and surprisingly the seeds have not gotten wet. But normally I have to fill it everyday anyway. I believe if you purchase one, you will delightfully worry more about keeping it fill with seed than the rain getting in!! Happy Birding!

I've had no problems with the birds coming right back after a rain. The way it's designed most of the water stays away from the seed.

No, it is not waterproof. I'd say it is resistant to light rain, but it can and does get wet.

Water resistant Sue. It will not survive submerged. It is designed to defeat rain and it performs that very well. Put it out in the bad weather and it will be just fine.

Hello Thomas... Actually I Can say that ABSOLUTELY the unit is waterproof, in my city rains maybe 250 days of the year hehehehehe and works perfectly!!!

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

It is water repellant. As far as water proof, I'm not sure about that. I have not had it out in any big rainstorms yet.

I have ridden in the rain with no problem. If you leave your bike outside for long, I suggest you unsnap the computer unit and bring it inside. That feature works very easily.

I can't say that it's waterproof, you'd have to rely on the manufacturer to answer that. But, I have ridden in the rain several times with no issues.

Only used mine for a couple of weeks as it was replaced by a shed. It did rain during that time and my belief is that is water resistant but not entirely waterproof.

It is not waterproof. It's fine if it raining, but water would get in to the battery compartment if submerged.

It's very fast for the price ... not waterproof but is water resistant. We've driven it in the rain and through mud puddles without any issues. Just clean it up, charge the batteries and go at it again. Ours has performed very well - regardless of the weather and a few wrecks.

Mine has gone through numerous rains and storms and hasn't let any rain through. Love it.

No, it is not. A little water-resistant but don't leave it in the rain. Thanks for the Yes vote!

I'm not sure about the rating, but I use mine in the rain fairly regularly and I haven't had any trouble at all.

Not waterproof. But water does not damage it, I use it in the rain and as long as you don't mind getting a bit wet it's comfortable and dries fast. Material does not soak up water too much.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

Haven't experienced the bag in the rain, but I would say it is likely waterproof. Very sturdy and stays clean.The rain cover is not the stiff leathery type.Hope this helps.
