Wildgame Innovations Quick-Set Pro 270lb Game Feeder

This is the second one we've bought. After seeing the durability of the first one at one stand, we decided to buy another one for our second stand. Easy to put together and holds a good amount of corn for our needs.

Easy to assemble, works well. Deer love it. Had a problem with customer service. Battery power lines are pretty short and where to place the battery. Distance to ground requires more wire, deer trip on it and squirrels can climb up.. asked customer service for ideas. They asked for model & picture. Did that. No reply after 4-5 days. Asked again, they wanted me to send them model & picture. AI ! What I came up with is a 31” rubber strap hung on the slotted hole on the top of one leg, and a cord around the battery , leg and strap. That worked so far.

Easy assembly and the cage seems to keep the small varmints from spinning the thrower. Holds about 4.5 50lb bags of corn

***UPDATE*** well they sure don’t make them like they used to…after little more than a a year, we have C-clamps holding the two sections of the barrel together in two different spots, the sides are caving in (likely due to the combo of cheap thin plastic construction, and a typical Texas summer), and the motor that dispenses the corn quit about a week ago. So disappointed in the overall quality of the product. I’ve downgraded it to one star. Don’t waste your money folks. So, you know how the MAIN component of any barrel feeder like this is the timing mechanism? Yeah, trust me it is the MOST important element. Timer on this one lasted about a week. Fortunately, our feeder is only about 200 yards from the house and I can hear when it goes off. Only what I heard was...perplexing. I was standing on the porch, and the feeder went off..."Huh" I thought, "must be the time of day for it." And even before the thought finished, the feeder went off again, for less than 2 seconds, and about 10 seconds later it went off AGAIN. We went to check on it, and found about 100 lbs. of corn on the ground. And the feeder going off every 10 seconds. We immediately pulled the battery, replaced it with a new one, and reset the timer. As soon as we did, and buttoned it back up, it started all over again. We scooped up the corn, pulled the battery and timer, and I went to call Amazon customer service. The customer service rep informed me that in order to help me I'd have to BOX UP THE ENTIRE FEEDER AND TIMER and send it back. Uhh....no...freakin'...way. I'll get to how stupidly simple/complex the assembly was in a minute, but back to the return. I told the rep there was NO way I was boxing this thing back up to return and could they just send me a timer? After a brief hold he came back with a resounding no. Sigh........he did, however, offer me a partial refund (approx. the cost of a new timer) as an Amazon credit and I was happy. I really was only happy because we happened to have an old timer that still worked when the old feeder collapsed prompting this purchase in the first place. It's simple, and works perfectly. Now, to the assembly...pretty easy, pretty straightforward, except for one small part. The latch that keeps the top shut. There is NOT A SINGLE (UNDERSTANDABLE) EXPLANATION OF WHERE/HOW THE THING GOES ONTO THE LID. After fighting it for several minutes, and nearly giving in to frustration, we visited YouTube for a how-to video where the latch installation was explained. Once we got that done, and the feeder up on its legs, we filled it and have had zero issues since. Even with intense rain/wind events, no water has gotten inside and the critter guard works to keep those pesky squirrels out of the food. Except for the aforementioned timer issue - which I know others have had problems with - this baby would get 5 stars. As it stands, how can you give an item a glowing review when the MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT is useless? Fix the timer problems, guys.

The box portion came damaged but customer service worked quickly to refund that so I could get a new one. Everything set up quickly. So far just have it going off once a day in morning for 20 seconds, that seems to be enough to attract a good amount of deer

This feeder has cheap legs that come in 4 pieces approx. 18” per section per leg. They join by inserting a male end into a female end and they are loose, weak and sloppy. I ended up wrapping the male end with duct tape to help stabilize it amd then wrapped tape on the outside. When the feeder is loaded the joints bend. The plastic of the feeder is not as durable as other feeders. In fact, the lid is a little floppy and probably won’t take much abuse or varmint chewing. My control unit door was bent in the box but because it was so weak, I was able to bend it back and make it work. Not a great feeder but it is relatively inexpensive. But I probably won’t buy another one.

I like it a lot and the price was great. It took me about 2 hours to put it in my field. The deer are happy.

It’s just over $100. So don’t expect too much. Don’t use the hardware that they give you for the barrel. You’ll want to install stainless steel nuts and bolts instead. You may also want to bolt the legs together as well…They are very unstable. DO NOT PURCHASE if you have BEARS in your area! Mine was completely destroyed in less than two weeks here in SW PA. Spend the extra money to get a hanging feeder instead.

Works great, the deers love it

It’s pictured & shown to have the new and improved anti critter spring release clutch on the feeder but it does not come with it. False advertising.

Timer does not work. Plugged into motor and within seconds blew the fuse. Twice. On third fuse, Timer lit up but would not allow either a set of functions or a reset
