I use this automatic feeder to feed my cat small meals throughout the day. It works pretty well. I use the wall charger to power the machine so I don't how long the machine stays powered through batteries. You can set up to five different meal times (the time format is in military time fyi). It can hold up to about 5lbs of cat food in the storage container. FYI whenever the power goes (wall charger operated) the machine will reset itself to the factory setting when it comes back on. I wish that it would remember the previously saved data that I entered but it doesn't take longer than a minute to set up so it isnt a big deal. The only thing I wish was that there was a chart included that told you how much in cups each portion size was. That would have been really helpful when I first started.

great machine! buy with confidance and the price is just amazing, easy to program, precision rationing, I am using it with normal batteries and after a month didn't even show any drain... works like a charm!

I am very pleased with this feeder. Compared to others I considered, it was the less expensive model. Set up was quick and after adjusting the portions and times to suit my cats, I have not had to do anything but keep the bowl clean and fill food chamber. I would recommend 👍

I bought this so that I could feed my cats several times per day while I'm not at home. The recording works fine and is very audible and clear.

Works great for my puppies not a lot of waste from them would recommend

Brilliant perfect size for my foxy... keeps the feeding area organised

My dog loves them he is a boerboel and these bowls are big enough for him.

They are easy to clean and easy to use. Sturdy and great for the cats to have there biscuit and water in. Definitely recommend!
