" ... It holds so many servings for my cat (he eats about 1/3 cup a meal) (serving size 7) I could probably leave for a whole month if i filled it to the top with food! ... "

" ... One difficult thing I would say about this feeder is understanding the portion amount. ... The top portion is kind of small and I find myself refilling the feeder a lot more often than I thought I would. ... "
" ... The top does not fit securely, so this unit is not dispensing. ... "
" ... One to hold the base from rotation while trying to open the top. ... "
" ... It’s also hard to twist off, because it’s large and round with nothing to grip. ... "
" ... just dribbled out a few pieces. ... "
" ... We are hoping it holds up. ... After seeing some negative reviews, we are worried we might leave for a weekend only to discover that the feeder broke or got stuck while we were gone. ... "
" ... I think that it's really ugly and the top is kind of a pain to fit back on to the thing. ... "
" ... One tip I might add is that the lid to fill the feeder with is difficult to remove and screw back into place. ... "

" ... The instructions are incomplete for how to operate the buttons and are full of errors reminiscent an author who is not proficient in the language. ... "
" ... There is a manual feeding button that I tried but nothing happens at all. ... "
" ... The cord get easily knocked out and the buttons wear really fast so changing the settings can be difficult. ... 4/5 just because the buttons are hard to use and therefore hard to change the settings and bc the cord has come knocked out ( I haven’t had the chance to pick up batteries) but I like the product. ... "
" ... My only complaint is that the buttons are small and stiff enough that holding one down to program in times is kind of difficult. ... "
" ... It also has a manual button so you can test it easily and dispense treats anytime you wish. ... Only drawback is that there is no volume control on the voice recording and it plays quite softly. ... "
" ... The button doesn't work :( ... "
" ... I followed the instructions exactly and it says to press the manual button once and it will spin- it does once then it says to do it 2 more times and after the first time it never spun again, during the programmed times it would do the voice recording but never dispense anything. ... "

" ... I do wish they had a stainless bowl that I could remove and clean. ... I need to pick up the whole thing and stick under sink to clean. ... "

" ... Small footprint doesn't take up much floor space. ... "
" ... Also, am gone from home many weekends so cat will not have a tendency to overeat from the large bowl of food I used to have to leave for her. ... "

" ... Dual power supply: Batteries or AC adapter ... "
" ... One thing I liked about this model is that it can run off either the included USB power plug, or D batteries. ... "

" ... My one issue is the timing - the clock gets out of sync quickly. ... "
" ... The clock did reset when the power went out, changed the feeding times. ... It still worked, but the clock was off (started at midnight when the power came back on) and so then the feeding times were off. ... "
