 About to buy my second September 6, 2008
Anne Racel (Yorktown, VA)
I've had great success with the item. Yes, I agree that you have to get the instructions out each time you reprogram it. But since I only have to do that when I changed the batteries (which last for months) and when I was originally setting it up, it really isn't a problem.
You do need to limit it to dry food; I can't see how it would work with moist food at all without gumming up the works. The minimum is 1/4 cup. If these don't meet your situation, I'd suggest one of those units where you manually measure out each of the meals for 4 - 8 days.
 PIECE OF JUNK September 5, 2008

Stopped dispensing the propper amount of food after one month. Total junk, don't waste your money
Great!! September 1, 2008
A. Garcia (Puerto Rico)
one month and is working very well, I was afraid because I read bad reviews about the difficulty of programming it, the clock, etc. I haven't touch the programming since the first day, and it wasn't that difficult. I`m confident my two cats will have food every time, and I'm less worried about overfeeding them.
Love it! September 1, 2008

I own two of these for each of my dogs. They dispense the appropriate amount of food and do it consistently and reliably. My dogs are 20 pounds and 70 pounds each.
As gently as I can say this: If you have trouble programming this, YOU are the problem. You need to sit down in a quiet place and do this with patience.
This has made life so much easier. They get breakfast lunch and dinner and are fed on time every day. I will never be without this product again.
What a load of junk September 1, 2008
Alan G. Isemonger (Sacramento, CA, USA)
Like everyone else I think this product is a load of junk. The display is not intuitive, I had to keep the instructions nearby so that I could work out what was going on each time I tried to adjust the thing. Further it worked fine for about a year, and then I changed the batteries out and it just broke. Conveniently after the 1 yr guarantee was up. I tried everything to fix it short of throwing it against the wall. The interface would start working when I inserted batteries, and then the clock would stop (the colon would stop blinking - if you are having problems with yours then check to make sure the time is incrementing) so it would never feed my cats. I thought I had a problem as my cats were always hungry when I returned home. Further it cost me about $100 in Petsmart. It's in the trash.
