Amazon.com Review
Despite the example set by a popular comic strip character, birds do not actually view winter as a great opportunity to practice skating figure eights on the icy surface of a birdbath. Those feathered friends that do not fly south instead are denied the opportunity to play and bathe until the ice cracks. Even if the waters have not frozen over, it seems inconsiderate to subject the small bird body to frigid swimming waters. To enable year-round, comfortable bathing for birds, Allied Precision Industries (API) created this heated birdbath. The birdbath features a built-in thermostat that operates at 150 watts to prevent waters from freezing. The 120-volt heating element is located underneath the plastic basin's surface and provides warmth in temperatures as low as -20 degrees F. In hot weather, the electrical cord stores neatly underneath the basin. The simple birdbath design provides a rim designed specifically for a natural talon grip. For birdbath installation, API employs their clever EZ-Tilt-To-Clean deck rail mount. The basin attaches to the mount securely, yet tilts from a sturdy hinge to allow users to quickly dump out dirty water. The mount uses a screw clamp to grip a rail, needing no drills for application. To best attract birds, place the birdbath in a sheltered southeast location and stock with fresh water regularly. The bath measures 20 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth. This item weighs 4-4/5 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Bird Bath Works Well January 27, 2008
I have had this product for over two years. Last winter we had a stretch of 9 degree nights and it performed like a champ! The water is a comfortable temperature. We recently had 16" of snow in two days, and the birds are still taking baths! The pressure screw mount holds the clamp on the deck railing very securely but the clip on the base of the bird bath could be a bit more secure. We have raccoons sitting in the bath on occasion and they can tilt it a little, so that the bath is not level on the railing. I have not had any problems with the heating element. It is un-plugged all summer. The wobbly clip is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
Works well January 7, 2008
This heated bath works well and is large enough for us to observe a great many birds enjoying themselves all at once.
Heated Bird bath January 3, 2008
The bird bath itself works great! The bracket for attaching it to the rail needs some work. We really struggled to get the bath level and attached firmly and had to wire it down to get it firmly seated.
 Don't buy it for the heated part January 3, 2008
This bird bath attaches nicely to lots of different pedestals and mounts. I plugged it in and it heated the water once and that was it. It never heated again. I returned to using my old drop in bird bath heater. It's a nice mount anywhere bird bath so I gave it more than 1 star over the no heat problem.
 Heated Tilt Bird Bath March 10, 2007

It was difficult to rate this item; the water does not freeze, even in 20 degree temps, and the bath does, as advertised, tilt easily to empty. However, the mounting bracket used for this item needs to be redesigned - while it does allow the bath to be tilted for cleaning, it is so flimsy that a heavy rain, wind or even a large bird can cause it to lean heavily to one side or another. If the bracket were more stable, perhaps with a latch to keep the bath more level, I would be completely pleased with it, as it is, however, I can give it only a 3.
