Not Bad December 31, 2008
I purchased this product a while ago, and I too found that it was a REAL pain to program it. I eventually got the hang of it, but I still feel like it could be programmed alot easier. br /br /I finally got tired of programming it and went looking for another automatic feeder. It was a long search, but I just found a really good selection of feeders on the petfeedercentral website. I ended up ordering an Ergo feeder. I haven't received it yet, but I hope it's a good one!
 Good feeder December 31, 2008
We've used this feeder for several years for our golden retriever. I finally have to buy a new one because a mouse chewed part of the soft plastic food gate off. so it's not mouse-proof. We occasionally have hiccups where the thing jams and food won't come out. it's hard to tell whether it has fed your dog or not, because the screen interface makes no sense. But overall a reliable little feeder, and way better than similar priced models on the market. there is room for improvement, but we haven't found anything better.
 Disappointing December 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Initially, I liked this product. I have what's billed as the newer version, and it seems to have corrected some of the problems described in earlier reviews. However, we ran into a few problems with it, anyway.br /br /The set up was very simple - it was easy to set up the feeding times, and it was nice that the portion for each feeding could be set independently, so one meal could be a different amount than the others. However, I was disappointed that the amounts were so limited - as in 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, etc. Certainly isn't meant to feed small portions. Plus my fat cat needs to have her amount of food adjusted downward as she loses weight, and that's impossible to do.br /br /Our cat was able to get her paw up and get additional food out whenever she wanted some. And when the canister is full, the weight of the food causes food to drop through the plastic dispensing fingers. So extra food was frequently available. Needless to say, the fat cat didn't lose any weight with this feeder.br /br /I think it's a fine feeder if absolute amount of feeding isn't as important. If you want food to be dispensed a couple of times a day when you're at work, this would work. But I wouldn't depend on accuracy with it.br /
 very helpful item December 25, 2008

BEST THING SINCE APPLE PIE December 20, 2008
THIS IS MY SECOND ONE. I PURCHASED MY FIRST ONE LAST MINUTE BEFOR A 5 DAY BIZ TRIP AT A RETAILbr /PET STORE. THE FIRST ONE STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A DAY. IT WAS REPLACED WITH NO PROBLEM AT THEbr /LAST MINUTE BEFOR OUR TRIP. WORKED FINE AND NOBODY WENT WITHOUT FOOD. I HAS BEEN WORKINGbr /TWICE A DAY NOW FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. PURCHASED THIS ONE FOR A XMAS GIFT AND THISbr /IS A MUCH BETTER BARGAIN THAN THE FIRST. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT.
