Perky-Pet 220 The Grand Master 48-Ounce Hummingbird Feeder - Large

Our review of the Perky-Pet 220 The Grand Master finds it best suited for gardeners and bird lovers who want a single feeder that draws a crowd and needs less frequent refilling. With a 48 oz capacity and a wide-mouth reservoir, this feeder's single biggest advantage is its ability to hold a day's worth of nectar for multiple hummingbirds, making it ideal for active yards and feeders placed away from the house. The clear, shatter-proof plastic makes monitoring levels straightforward, and the wide-mouth design makes routine maintenance easier than many compact models.

Key Features

• Six feeding ports: Allows several hummingbirds to feed at once, increasing the chances of attracting larger numbers to your yard.
• 48 oz nectar capacity: A large reservoir reduces refill frequency, useful for busy yards or when you cannot refill daily.
• Wide-mouth design: The wide opening unscrews easily for quick filling and makes thorough cleaning practical, which helps keep nectar fresh.
• Clear, shatter-resistant plastic: Lets you monitor nectar levels at a glance while resisting light impacts better than glass.
• Easy to fill and clean: Simple disassembly of the base and reservoir speeds maintenance and encourages routine washing at least twice a week.

Who It's For

This feeder is ideal for homeowners with medium to large yards who want to host multiple hummingbirds and reduce refill chores. The 48 oz capacity and multiple ports suit people who enjoy consistent hummingbird activity without daily topping up.

Those who need the most robust, leak-proof hardware or who prefer metal and glass construction may want to look elsewhere; some customers report issues with base attachment and occasional leakage, so if rough handling or very exposed mounting is expected, consider other designs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 48 oz reservoir holds plenty of nectar so the feeder can service many birds between refills.
• Wide-mouth reservoir and simple unscrewing base make cleaning and refilling straightforward.
• Clear, shatter-resistant plastic makes nectar levels easy to check and reduces breakage risk compared with glass.

Cons

• Some users report leakage and that the base does not always screw on tightly, which can cause drips.
• Plastic construction, while shatter resistant, can feel less secure than heavier materials for some buyers.
