Good product, GREAT service   November 13, 2008 We also experienced a problem with the digital display within the first month. Amazon was GREAT....I just notified them and they immediately shipped out a replacement BEFORE I returned the defective one. We had it within 2-3 days. Amazon not only had the best price but the best service.br /br /We also agree with other reports that small kibble is dispensed at quantity greater than requested. However, it is such a great device to wean kitty off of human feedings. She waits for sound of machine dispensing food and does not "ask" to be fed. Also great when kitty is left home alone for a few days! I can now sleep in on Saturday   November 12, 2008 I've had it for a month. So far no problems. I will most likly always need to pull out the directions when I need to program the thing. Sometimes I still dont get it with the directions in hand. Day 1 I though my cat was going to paw at the food in the clear container but he let it be when he realized he couldnt get at it. He goes running to it every time he hears the food come pouring out. No longer is he waking me up for food. A pain to program, and dead within a year.   November 9, 2008 This thing is pretty terrible. Programming it is an obscure ritual requiring the manual every time (and I make my living as a software engineer). And every time the 3 D batteries die (every month or two!) you have to reprogram it because it loses everything. Don't misplace that manual!br /br /Oh, and then there's the problem that it was dead within a year. We actually gave up on using it as an automatic feeder after about 6 months because the programming was so annoying, and the thing is really noisy. But the other day I decided to give it another try. I put brand new batteries in it, and it won't even turn on--totally dead. This thing is a piece of junk, don't buy it. Smokin' lil' feeder   October 31, 2008 Had it for awhile now, but only began using it a couple of months ago. Even on the weekends our dog loves getting fed in the morning on a regular schedule. I programmed it just to try it out when I first got it then promptly lost the instructions except for the set in Spanish. Jeez! Was able to decipher enough to find out how simple it is to program/re-program the thing. We love it. The only thing additonal I had to do was build a little rack to hold it up in the air so the dog wasn't tempted to try to help herself. I used a piece of 4" plastic drain tube to carry the food down to her dish.br /br /I give it all 5 stars for good consistent portion control, simplicity in refilling the food bowl, overall intuitive ease in programming, dependability (so far), and, best of all, no hungry dog trying to get us up when we want to sleep in. Great invention! Very Pleased   October 31, 2008 We have outdoor cats that live in our insulated barn. It is nice to know that every morning they will be fed without us having to go out there first thing. Sometimes in the past, we've had a critter come in the barn and eat the cat food. Now, we can remove the temptation as we only dispense enough food for the day and try to make sure it is empty by nighttime. This unit has worked without fail and we had no problem getting our cats to eat out of it. Very glad we bought it and would highly recommend. The only negative is my husband had a little problem with programming but still only took him about ten minutes to figure it out.
