Don't even try
I set this feeder up to try before leaving town. I froze ice packs & set for 12 hour feeding. It started rotating 12 hours later, then reversed 2 slots, then reversed again, & kept going back & forth non-stop. I finally just turned it off. When I took it apart to remove battery the ice packs were already melted & warm. I'm glad I tested before leaving town because I would have come home to a dead cat.
It's too flimsy.
Our little 11 week old Boston Terrier was able to get into the dish almost immediately. The dish rotated properly and all, but the plastic was warped when we got it and the top didn't mesh or snap onto the bottom. The dog was just able to get it open in a snap.
It is not worth the nearly $80.00 it took to order it and pay shipping.
Don't waste your money.
Automatic Feeder Dish
My two cats and I absolutely love Lentek 6-Day Automatic Pet Dish. It saves us so much time and energy to provide twice a day feeding for our two cats. The clock that regulates the opening cycle is accurate to within ~ 5 seconds per day of a 12 hour interval.
Does the Trick
The device is a bit flimsy and could stand a few upgrades but for the price, wasn't expecting too much-
I was a bit spectical, because the first time I set it out, my cat figured out how to take the cover off and open the unit. But after that episode,she didn't try to open it again-
Unit worked as described, but I only would recommend using dry food. The timer could use and upgrade but the bottom line is, went away for 3 days and the cat did not go hungry-
neither thrilled nor disappointed
Product meets its basic claims, however, design improvements are needed.
-very very difficult to snap timer and trays together and line them up properly
-ice packs leak
-tray not dishwasher friendly - oversized and stops the washer arms from rotating
-which direction is the rotation? Can it be indicated on the dish please? I will take a sharpie and mark it. This is important because I freeze a can of food for the feedings two days away, and dont want them to get THAT feeding on the day I leave
cats have adjusted well to their "space feeders" and the product does what it claims, but its kinda a p.i.t.a. for the owner
I would like to see a feeder come out with a timer with hourly settings like a light timer, ... Read More
