 not good December 3, 2008
I bought this for my cat. In no time he figured out how to tip it over and get all the food. And the rotating system stopped working the first week with new batteries.
 BEST PRODUCT I HAVE PURCHASED IN YEARS!!! December 2, 2008
I read the amazon reviews before buying and cannot believe people give this anything less than 5 stars! I paid $80 at Petsmart for this exact item because I had to have it that evening because I was going out of town - so I can assure you this is a great deal! It is so easy to use. My cats are fed in the morning and evening (you can also do a lunch time if you like) and no longer bother me for food and seem to be less stressed because they are not begging for food all of the time. So easy to use and they have never tried to get into the food container/storage. There is really no way they could - it is all super secure. I highly recommend this to make your life easier!

The 10 pound model is the newer one and programming is so easy that you dont need to read any manual. I think most people who are complaining about programming are providing feedback for the 5 pound model which I agree is a pain in the S. It took me over 20 minutes to figure out the programming of the 5 pound model while at the same time consulting the manual over and over. With only $10 dollar difference between 5 and 10 pound models, I would highly recommend the 10 pound model. The 10 pound model allows to have differnt meal portions for every meal whereas with the 5 pound one, you can only set one meal portion for all meals.
In the 10 pound model, the dish can be detached and washed which is not the case with the 5 pound one. Both of them use 3 D batteries or optional Power adapter. During my test, I noticed that the roatary plastic food dispenser would always stop at the the optimal angle whereas in the 5 pound model it would drift slightly from its optimal angle after food dispensing. One out of two 5 pound ones was defective out of box so I returned it back to Amazon. I also think the 10 pound model has been redesigned and is more reliable. At the end, I highly recommend this product.
does the job November 30, 2008
I have 2 cats and ordered 2 of these. 1 worked great, the other not at all. I returned it and got a new one and the replacement seems fine. The programming isn't as bad as what I've read in other reviews. It takes a few minutes and I haven't had to do anything since. I've had both of them for about a month now. The only drawback is that my cats aren't the smartest (they're old) and there's no sound/ bell/ etc that goes off when the food is dispensed. (they're food is on the lower level of a 3 story house) When I'm home they still beg for food at times and I walk over to the dishes and the food is already there. That is getting better but is taking longer than I thought it would. If you have a smarter cat it shouldn't be an issue. When I'm gone these feeders are perfect. I recently moved and don't have anyone to come in to feed them when I'm out of town, so they're serving the main purpose. Other models seem to be way more money and other than a bell or something when food dispenses I can't seee how they could be much better.
I love it,so does my cat November 30, 2008
This product is working great for us. Our cat loves to eat and begs constantly; this is definitly helping control his weight and even reduce the begging somewhat. We use it all the time, and now if we leave town over the weekend we don't have to worry about finding someone to come by to feed our beloved cat. The only thing I would change, if I could, is more options for programming the meals. I would like to set one serving size for breakfast and lunch and a different size for dinner, but the Pet Feeder requires all meals to be the same size.
