 Good for when you're on vacation but not for all the time use July 12, 2008
I started off using this as the primary water dish for my pets, however within a very short amount of time, I'd have to dump out all the water to clean it because a nasty, clear slime would start growing in the dish-YUCK!
I decided to start using a pet water fountain as their primary water source, because it's constantly moving and there's a filter, it stays clean a bit longer.
However, this is great for cats, if you're away on vacation. But, because of the slime factor, I don't like to use this unless I have to.
 Great Offer! July 2, 2008
Great Products that help with taking care of your animals when you are away from home.
Now lets work on a litter solution May 14, 2008

I purchased one of these because I keep forgetting to check the water dish. Okay, with cats you don't always see them so... out of sight, out of mind. The water dish gets overlooked because they find "other places" to get their water. They don't complain and I don't know exactly where they get their water.
But, since having the Microban waterer, I can remember sometime in the week's time to see where the water level is. The base holds plenty of water so even if the bottle looks low or empty, the base is holding at least another day or two worth of water. Also, I have mastered the replacing of the bottle (a small mess my first time) so that I can pull the bottle off fast enough (excess water goes directly in the base to be used) and refill the bottle. Flipping the full water bottle back on to the base is easy enough and any spillage goes directly into the base. NO messes!
This is a fine product and I have not had any problem with mold or yuckiness yet (which always happened in the old water dish). I do clean it every week or two just to make sure it stays clean (I had to do this every several days with the old water dish).
Now that there is a constant supply of fresh water, the cats seem to be utilizing the litter box more. I guess that is good for them, but now I have swapped one chore for another. Oh well, they are healthier anyway.
Overall, this product sames me time which makes me happy (and probably the cat, too, since we have been trying to train the kids to put the toilet seat down when finished). The programming can be a little difficult for the technologically challenged. Most of the setting are self explanatory with the exception of the portions size. They use a code (ie 1, 2, 3, etc) to mean things like 1/4 cup, 1/2, and so on. The "legend" is located in the instruction manual which is usually already in a landfill before you need it again.
I did find the manual online at http://petmate.com/Products/LeBistro-Portion-Control-Feeders__24240.aspx and also printed a copy and saved a copy to my computer in my "important" folder.
good buy for the money April 7, 2008

This waterer is easy to use, and to see the level remaning. There is nothing to replace or go wrong with it. It is easy to clean and keep filled. When fully filled there is enough water for two cats for about six days. The only caution I have is that as the water bottle gets brittle after several years, so do not drop it.
dog likes it... April 5, 2008
I bought this one to replace a much older version that was really hard to keep clean, so the Microban feature appeals to me, however it has been to short of a time period to evaluate whether or not it will be effective.
The dog has no problem using it. I find that placement on the floor hampers my usage, so I use a cup instead...
