I absolutely LOVE this waterer, it's the only one I use!
I got a 3 gallon one of these for my first flock, it lasted at least 6 years, it finally broke from being sun rotted. If kept out of the sun it will last a very long time! The durability is amazing.
For a medium sized flock or less, this doesn't need to be filled every other day or so. I use 3 of these for my current flock of 15, and on average only fill them once a week. But, I do tip it over to get all the water out of the red tray, cause it will get a bit dirty, at least for me. It does make the water go by faster, no big deal though.
It's so easy to fill, and it has never ever leaked.
It is hard to clean inside, which can be annoying. If kept out of the sun though, you won't have to deal with much cleaning. That's really the only con for me.
