Allied Precision 20 in. Heated Bird Bath w/ Metal Stand Review

I own two Allied Heated Bird Baths. One has been outdoors, 24/7, for over ten years (Michigan). The other is fairly new.
I am very pleased with these heated baths. They have always worked in severe winter temps, and are left unplugged in warm seasons. The raccoons often climb up the stands and tumble to the ground, taking the bird bath with them. Sometimes deer fuss with the baths and knock them over. Every time I set them back up, the heating element still works. The units have never become too hot - so far, I have not had to worry about a fire. Allied's Heated Bird Bath takes some abuse and temperature extremes well. The birds love this bath.

The stand, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired. It is poorly soddered, and falls apart easily. The one stand literally fell apart right out of the box. (And that is why my local Birdfeeder Store sold the Allied Heated Bird Bath to me at 1/4 the original price - such a deal!) I have my two stands pieced together with ring clamps, but they are still wobbly. I do not recommend purchasing another of the Allied stands if the original stand wears out. If your stand in this kit is falling apart, hire a welder, or jury-rig it (your local hardware person can help) and it will suffice for a few years.
Please Allied, offer a better stand!

Check your local Birdfeeder stores - this price on Amazon is OK, but the shipping is expensive. You will likely find this item around $80 at a local store and will save on shipping costs. Also, if you wish to return it, a local vender will probably give you a replacement right away.

May 26, 2013: The company has re-designed their stand. Noticed the new stand while in my local Birdfeeder store. It is nice to know Allied has listened to customer concerns and is taking action. I have not purchased the new style stand, but may give it a try in the future.
