Here's the deal...
Been using this feeder for over a year straight on the same batteries. About every 4 months or so it stops working and the display goes blank. To reset it I have to hold down 2 buttons simultaneously - can't remember which two but I think it's the time and calendar looking buttons. Just try pressing two buttons at a time until you get the right combination - the display resets and you're good to go :)
Great performance; disappointing endurance
Like other reviews have said, this feeder successfully prevents even my very determined and food-motivated cat from batting out extra kibble between meals, which I greatly appreciate especially since he needs to lose a little weight. That said, I'm disappointed by the battery life--I bought this about a month ago and the four D batteries have already died and needed replacement, which is a bummer because if it happens again then rechargeable batteries or a new feeder may be necessary.
Works great once you figure it out
Someone complained about pressing the button a million times to set the time- press and hold the up and down button and it will scroll through til you let go. Make sure the display has the "1" lit up or it will start with whichever scheduled feeding is lit up. It only holds a cup of food at a time so my dog will have to get her cup and a half breakfast in two feedings 15 min apart. But I don't think she will mind getting breakfast twice. The lid twists into place so nobody can sneak in it.
Cat feeder
I needed a feeder for my cat where I could portion very small amounts of dry food over the day. She has GI disease and tends to eat fast and will vomit if her stomach is empty and I don't feed her. I often feel held hostage so this feeder is helping tons... it allows me to leave her for 8 hours during the day and she is being fed while I am gone and she is happy! Pro: not noisy, the sound of the food dropping signals to my kitty to come and eat, 6-meal slots is great, pretty easy to set. Cons: Need to press the numbers hard as I notice when setting times it doesn't always take, wish the entire tray/insert was removable so I can clean it, the whole feeder is a bit bulky. I also really need to buy a second one, as I use the one I purchased for the day time and it is a pain to reset for night feeds... so I wish the price was a little lower so I could buy a second one or even wish they made a mini version of this one ie. same look just smaller and 3-4 meals.
Pros and Cons
Unlike the other feeders, this feeder let you to customize each meal for your cat. You can add treats to a certain meal if you would like to. I like to feed my cat with a piece of chicken neck for their breakfast and this feeder allows me to do so. However, I don't like the plastic bowl. Also, keep it in mind that this feeder only provide six meals.
Good while it lasted
Delivered 4/10 and started using it within a few days. Today (6/15) it died. Thought it was a battery issue. Still did not work after new batteries.
Best feeder we’ve used
Accurate clock, you know how much has been fed to your animal, low center of gravity so our can’t hasn’t figured out how to tip it over. Our cat also could reach up and turn the mechanism on our old feeder and get a few kibble. He can’t do that with this one.
Died After a Year
I liked this feeder until it recently decided to stop working. It won't take batteries anymore (I've tried multiple brand new ones), and doesn't use electricity so the whole unit needs to be replaced. If you don't mind buying a new one after a year, this is a good feeder, but I'm sad that I need to throw this out and get a new one.
Not ideal for most dogs.
This product should be advertised for cats and dogs under 10 lbs only. After installing the batteries, I noticed that they didn’t fit tightly at all, and one was sagging out and not touching any connectors, which was preventing the unit from turning on. I solved this with a piece of electrical tape to hold the batteries in, and then put the cover on. So even before use, this seemed like a pretty junky product. But now that I had the unit turning on, I figured I’d give it a try with my 40lb female poodle. I regret that decision. She must have thought it was a toy and batted it around all over my house. I came home to tons of food spilled all over the place. The bowl also came off (it’s entirely too easy to detach), and she had a blast chewing on it. It now won’t fit back in the unit, rendering the whole thing completely useless and unable to be returned. What a waste of money. Would not recommend for any animal over 10 lbs.
I’m all about FOOD—Bigfoot polydactyl
FOOD is my high-value item, but food doesn’t really like me if I’m not restricted to 10-12 cereal crumbs at a time. The digital unit works great but after a month, can advance 8 sec. Quik fix: just advance the clock time, not the six drop times. Four D cell batteries last over a year; the actual unit usually lasts 3-4 yrs, well worth the price; nothing digital last forever. IF the divider fails to turn, check to see that a pellet has worked its way under the divider.
