I have the Phantom feeder and it is working great for me. I converted it to a digital timer and have it mounted on the bottom of a feeder drum from cabelas that holds 150 pounds of corn and is lasting me just over a month. Put a solar charger on it and a rechargeable batteries back in first of march and it has been running fine ever since. I think I have about 175 bucks in the whole set up. Getting ready to turn it down or off though since the corn is putting on its ears and the beans are getting ready to fill out around here and when that happens the corn sits on the ground and rots. Will not be used by deer much until after mid winter in January when the fields get picked over.
