And I highly recommend this feeder! It's attractive, easy to clean and fill, doesn't leak and has a built-in ant moat. They flower ports are suppose to be bee/wasp "resistant". I haven't had any issues with them, though a random flying bug will occasionally find its way in.
I myself bought three more so I will now have a total of 8. Basically... four in use and four clean on stand-by for a quick swap out.
Highly recommend IF AND ONLY IF you're willing to clean the feeder and offer fresh nectar without additives. Too many people do more harm than good when they're too busy or lazy to keep a clean feeder and fresh nectar!

That depends entirely what part of the country you live in
For example where I live out of the five species of hummingbirds one is year around ( Anna's Hummingbird )
Edit: These are on clearance at Walmart for $7 (66210 as an example)

Similar. In MD. With these hummingbird feeders...is it if you build it, they will come?

Definitely not! Lucky bastards on the West Coast or far South may have Anna or Allan's Hummingbirds year round. Folks in the Midwest or on the Eastern Coast typically have Ruby-throated Hummingbirds which migrate North in early Spring and South in early Fall. Here in Middle Tennessee, it's not uncommon to see the a hummer in mid-October. Personally, I will typically leave at least one feeder up until the first major freeze. It's far more important to offer fresh nectar during Migration than any other time. You could literally save a life of a straggler! <3

Bird nerd, here! You CAN have both seed feeders AND nectar feeders. I just wouldn't advise to having them in the same place as Hummers like to feed in peace. Honestly, for this brand and this price... would definitely recommend for a first timer. But please only buy a feeder if you're willing to keep it clean and filled with fresh nectar. Our tiny feathered friends are very susceptible to the mold that can quickly develop. All it takes is hot weather and/or one foreign swimmer (ie: bug) to taint the nectar!
This exact feeder? How odd. Never had a cracking or leaking issue with mine. Though I hand-wash the plastics as directed!
