I was very excited to try a timed feeder for occassions when I would be away for an overnight trip. Sadly the times were quite a bit off. I have 2 cats so the tops need to pop open within a few minutes of one another. When I was testing it I initially set each side to 2 hours, they opened 28 minutes apart. When I set them for 24 hrs they opened over 2 hrs apart. If a person was willing to spend some time figuring out the actual intervals it might be ok for a single pet. Helen from customer service gladly gave me a refund.
Definitely does its job! It requires a little bit of thinking to calculate how many hours to set the timer for, but I'm sure that's true of most timed feeders. It does make a slight ticking noise (almost like a small clock) even when not in use that annoyed me a bit, but I stuck it in a closet and can't hear it anymore. This feeder is a great option and the price can't be beat!
The instructions and idea behind the item is simple and straight forward. The timer has a long plastic piece that when the timer winds down to 0, it fits through the groove and opens the lid. However, the timing is way off. I set both sides to 5 hours without food to ensure they were accurate, 1 side opened about 7 hours later the next was about 6.5 hours. The included ice packs would keep wet food cool for maybe 6/7 hours, and I guess if your pet is determined, they could easily pop the lid open. I reached out to the manufacturer to see who provides them with the timing mechanism (to hopefully get advice or purchase a separate timer), but they haven't responded yet. Once I can get the time accurate within 30 mins or less, it would help me with my morning routine since Daisy demands breakfast before anything else :) #ChewyTeamRated
I read the reviews saying that some people had issues with their dogs getting into the feeder... well, it turns out cats can too! My food-motivated kitty had broken the code on this thing within ONE HOUR of me setting it up. Do not recommend!!
I ordered two of these. One for each of my cats and they were on the floor for all of two minutes before they had the lid open and the timer ever popped off one of them. Do not waste your time or money
This product is easy to use. Love the price and my puppy can't wait for it to open. It's perfect.
Our dog had it open in about two minutes when he figured out how to turn the timer knob.
Very reliable product! Just be careful when closing the lids so as not to break the piece that springs it open.
My dog thinks it is a game to break into the dispenser. Destroyed in one day
The timer is difficult to set and instructions are not helpful.
