This is our second All Weather Feeder (4 Qt size). Be warned -- try not to lose the lock washer on the top (the feeder will last longer). I lost the washer early on and the feeder still lasted several years, but the winds had taken their toll on the screw top -- the threads became worn from all the swishing back and forth without having the washer there to keep it tight. The feeder would no longer stay connected to the screw top. If you do lose the washer, don't be lazy like me -- go to the hardware store and buy a replacement.
This feeder holds a lot of seed and several birds can eat from it at the same time. I have seen at least 10 finches on it at a time. It isn't starling-proof, but it will make them work for their food, so they don't monopolize it like they do other feeders.
It definitely protects the seed from rain and snow and the seed doesn't spill out of it during high winds. When the feeder is full, the winds don't move it much either. I have not tried the larger All Weather Feeder, but can't imagine lifting it up the hook in the tree. The 4 Qt is pretty heavy when full.
