Best Cat Investment you will ever make October 5, 2008
I agree with most of what has been posted, and only want to add the following; I hooked up my Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain to the same timer as this feeder, so the water is running for 15min after this food dispenser has refreshed the bowl. The idea is to encourage drinking when cats need it most; just after eating dry food. This approach saves electricity and water refilling from the water evaporation loss suffered by leaving the fountain on all the time. I had my own quality timer, so I purchased the CSF3, Bowl and chute cover (optional) directly from their web sight. Cut&Paste this link to see and hear this feeder in action -

Exactly what I have been looking for.... September 16, 2008
I've had this feeder for over 6 months and could not be any more happy with it. Yes, it is considerably more expensive than the other automatic feeders out there, but this one is worth its weight in gold. My chihuahua was always asking to be fed, and the poor little guy was getting so fat. I'm a med student and have very irregular hours, so I was looking for a feeder that could feed a few tablespoons of food several times a day. This one can do just that. You can adjust the machine to dispense as much (or little) food as your pet needs .. Now he's on a schedule and takes off running to his feeder when he hears it dispensing his food. He loves it and doesn't ask for food between meals anymore. When he goes to stay with my mom, I make sure the feeder goes with him. There's no way I could keep him at a healthy weight without it.
Excellent, but could use a few tweaks May 13, 2008

The feeder works great and is really well thought out and has so far been cat proof. Despite a few minor complaints, I still feel it deserves 5 stars. Initial setup takes some time but allow a high degree of control. This kit includes a standard outlet wall timer, which not only makes programming very easy, but also means you will never lose your programming.
My only suggestions are to replace the top screw with a thumbscrew to make refilling easier, add some sort of clips to hold the bowl in place, and perhaps add some sort of retention mechanism to the barrel plug so it cannot be so easily unplugged.
The Ultimate Pet Feeder April 1, 2008

This feeder is worth every penny. I own two evil-genius cats that collaborate with each other to overcome all of the restrictions I attempt to enforce. I purchased an automatic Bistro feeder about a year ago to isolate ourselves from the feeding process; the cats found a way to extract food from it almost immediately. After months of being annoyed at all hours of the night by our cats attacking the Bistro, I opted for a Super Feeder.
The Super Feeder arrived unassembled with easy to follow instructions. The assembly process took about five minutes and familiarized me with all of the high quality components. I also purchased a "hood cover" to prevent my little devils from stealing food from the machine. The Super Feeder is brilliantly simple. It comes with a high quality power timer that cycles the power on and off at user set intervals. A small hidden dial controls the length for which the machine dispenses food. This analog control allows for an infinite level of feeding precision (unlike the Bistro's huge intervals). The Super Feeder also features a jumper that will restrict the machine from feeding more than once in a (approximate) 45 minute period. This prevents the machine from feeding more than once in the event of a power interruption during a feeding cycle.
The Super Feeder was made for nerds like me. I have mine attached to a network power controller next to my server cabinet. I wrote several UNIX shell and expect scripts to control the feeding behavior. The cats are fed at every even hour of the day (12 times a day). This prevents the cats from getting too excited when food is dispensed and prevents overeating and eating too quickly. I also authored a password protected website that allows me to feed the cats from anywhere in the universe with the click of a button, as well as capturing a photographic image of the cats eating so I know that they are safe and that the feeder is working correctly. Every time the cats are fed I receive a page to my telephone showing me the output of the scripts to verify that everything is working correctly.
I've had the feeder for a while now and it has proved to be smarter than my mischievous cats. The machine operates quietly, reliably, and consistently. It has never jammed, failed to feed properly, or under/overfed. Support for this product is also wonderful. When I purchased the additional 1.8 gallon food hopper I received answers to my emails within 10 minutes of sending them after 10pm PST. Do yourself a favor, buy this.
Great Product January 10, 2008

I got this as a christmas gift and I feel it is a great product. Before the Super feeder our cat was fed twice a day, at 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.. By the time 4:00 a.m. arrived our cat was so hungry that he would do everything in his power to wake us up (He has no shame) and when we got home after work it was impossible to get in the house without getting mauled by the cat. Now he is fed every two hours automatically starting at 4:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.. We now sleep until the alarm clock goes off and we have been able to minimize the amount of food he gets per day. Setup was easy and took no time at all to set the gap width for Iams cat food and to dial the timer and cycle time to my desired setting. The double hopper that is provided gives me about 8 days worth of food and the feeder is very accurate. I made a custom stand to hold the feeder in place (see customer images) and I would recommend this product to anyone with a hungry animal that is unwilling to wait for you to feed him.
