Customers have expressed concerns about the stability and rotation of the pet feeder. For example, they say the pellets will start slipping under the tray and the turning mechanism doesn't seem to turn enough to push all the food in each compartment. Opinions are mixed on capacity, ease of use, moisture, quality, value, and flow.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet feeder. Some mention that it works well, while others say that it doesn't work well with flakes.

"...; while it is a little fussy, I think that the more analog way this works is more reliable and I like the flexibility in food I can use...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of use of the pet feeder. Some find it straightforward, easy to set up, and easy to load. However, others say that the instructions are not clear and it's challenging to set the unit so it drops at specific times.

"...It's not too complicated to use, but it definitely takes a bit to adjust it to work how you want it...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the capacity of the pet feeder. Some mention that it can hold a ton more food and is much easier to load when you don't have a tank. The compartments allow for precise meal portioning, which was perfect for their betta who only needs a small amount of food. However, others say that the feeding compartments are small and it can be difficult to get the food in the compartments.

"...This design has great promise. Each compartment is individually loaded, in advance, with the EXACT amount of food you want to be delivered per..." Read more
"...It was messing with the quantity of food that dropped at each scheduled feeding. To fix this, I got out my grinding tool and made the hole bigger...." Read more
"...If you feed once a day, this can hold two weeks of food...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the moisture in the pet feeder. Some mention that they have no moisture issues with humidity or condensation issues with the air intake keeping food dry. However, others say that moisture gets inside the device and can affect dropping small flake food.
"...That helped tremendously, but sometimes the flakes still got too moist and wouldn't dispense because it stuck to the sidewalls of the tray...." Read more
"...All of this being said, the feeder hasn't had problems with moisture which was my biggest fear; the pellets have stayed dry and I am not using the..." Read more
"...I first got my unit, I did not use it either and had an issue with moisture after a few days. So I hooked up an air pump and, voila, problem solved!..." Read more
"...Since I’ve removed my tank lids for this feeder, water evaporation has nearly tripled. I’m replacing about a gallon of water ever couple of days now...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the pet feeder. Some mention it's well worth the price, a great investment for any fish keeper, and the gears are plastic. Others say that it'll completely waste their money. They say the feeder is flimsy, cheap, and unreliable.
"...It is well worth the price." Read more
"...4 stars because it's overpriced - a $3 clock movement in a molded plastic chassis...." Read more
"...Overall, it think it’s a good feeder for the price, but you get what you pay for...." Read more
"...Just not a modern design for the money...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the flow of the pet feeder. Some mention that it feeds slowly, and the timer mechanism moves the feeding tray very well. However, others say that the unit moves so slowly that by the time the food should be delivered, the food has already been dispensed.
"...The feeding compartments are small, and it can be difficult to get the food in the compartments when loading it...." Read more
"First off one caveat wasn't mentioned by anyone yet: The food gets dispensed very slowly for over an hour due to the way the mechanism works..." Read more
"...+ Feeds Slowly - The timer mechanism moves the feeding tray very slowly and gradually feeds the fish as it moves...." Read more
"...It turns really slowly, so it feeds slowly instead of just everything falling in at once...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the pet feeder. They mention that the pellets will start slipping under the tray, it would drift, and everything will fall out the moment you move the aquarium lid. Some food does slip under the disk. However, some customers say that the feeder floats freely on the plastic base, making it easy to remove for cleaning.
"...to try out: it was a bit frustrating at first because the tray moves/lifts off so easily that it took me 3 (irritating) tries to get the food in and..." Read more
"...or two pellets occasionally stick to the feeding tray and do not drop down into the tank. I have to imagine flake food would be more challenging...." Read more
"...Even if there's no moisture, it just slips underneath the trays as it spins around...." Read more
"...Flake foods do not work well in this feeder; the flakes tend to settle flat against the surface of the feeder and then slide under the sides of the..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the rotation of the pet feeder. They mention that the turning mechanism doesn't seem to turn enough to push all the food in each slot. Some say that the tray will not turn, and others say that it has stopped turning.
"...review shows clogged feeders, feeders dumping too much food, broken mechanisms... EVERY design seems to have some sort of major issue...." Read more
"...which means that the ring can rotate out of position easily...." Read more
"...It spins counter clockwise and not clockwise like I had thought it would. I also didn't see the little arrow on the plastic piece with the dividers...." Read more
"...Good if you don't mind it not being an exact time. It rotates really slowly...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The cons are the irritation at how easily it is to mess up the food you so carefully distribute into each cell, just by a little bump (thus having to do it all over again), and the price - I don't see how in the world this thing should cost almost $25 - that's highway robbery for such a simple gadget (no LCD display or anything - just a simple clock mechanism and all plastic parts). But I'm obviously willing to pay it because it's a simple solution that works really well.
*Update, I'll bump it up to 4.75 stars (still the price factor is ridiculous), but I did order the other 3 and have them all on my tanks. They work so well, I use them as everyday feeders (they were originally intended as vacation feeders only). Using them creates less wasted food because it dispenses a little at a time over an hour, so the fish have time to get it all rather than having some of it get sucked up in the filter. I have it feed them 2x a day - so once a week I fill all the feeders (it's helpful to remove the feeder, set it on a table, stick a fat pen (or something comparable) into the opening to stop the wheel from spinning, and use a small funnel when adding food to the chambers.)
This design has great promise. Each compartment is individually loaded, in advance, with the EXACT amount of food you want to be delivered per feeding. There are 15 compartments, but one is over the opening at any given time, you have up to 14 feedings. That's 14 days of food, if you only feed once per day. Less, obviously, the more times you feed per day. (7 days worth for 2x per day, etc.) No danger of overfeeding. Any mechanism can risk getting jammed, of course, but this unit does not seem any more prone to it than over auto-feeders on the market, and arguably less likely.
As far as imperfections, well, there are many.
1) It's bigger than you would expect, although that makes sense once you see how it works, and of course you can't really make a ring like this any smaller without making the compartments too small to be useable. As it is:
2) The compartments are small enough that it's a little fiddly to get them loaded, but that's down to individual dexterity. (How big do you want this thing to be, after all? See point #1!) Another review suggested using a simple piece of paper while loading it, to help "funnel" the food into the compartment, which is a great idea.
3) The timer mechanism is confusing and a bit bizarre. Using the tiny red pegs to indicate feeding time is weird, and it's disturbingly easy to accidentally knock a peg out of place, which prevents things from working correctly. It works, but it's definitely a bit odd. Ergonomics could definitely be improved, although once you get it, it does work well enough.
4) I've read complaints about the mounting methods provided, but anyone with a reasonable amount of ingenuity should be able to work with that they have, or jury rig an alternative. Mine sits perfectly on top of my tank light, and just dumps food to the water below.
5) I've read complaints about moisture causing sticking, and while it didn't happen to me (in a problematic sense, at least), I didn't bother connecting an air pump as recommended in the manual, either. Based on reports, that goes a long way to helping reduce moisture within the feeder. I think the people complaining of the issue didn't bother, either, which I consider a user error. Only a few feeder models offer this option, and it's a great idea, so I'm glad this one gives the option.
So clearly there are issues, but, IMO, they are all manageable issues, or user issues that aren't really the fault of the unit. And many of the issues would apply to other feeders as well, so pick your poison! For me, the fear of dumping too much food and causing a large nitrate spike was far worse than other concerns, so the ability to pre-measure each meal was key. The competing "drum-style" designs are simply asking for trouble, IMO. For really large tanks, with tons of fish, where larger portions are being measured out, it's less of an issue, but it's really hard to accurately measure small amounts of flake food with in person with functioning fingers! So it's hardly surprising that cheap drum mechanisms struggle with it.
After my vacation, I came back to a nearly empty feeder. Just a few stray flakes here and there that were stuck under the wheel, but not enough to cause a problem. The rest of the food was all properly emptied, on schedule. I did have a friend stop by the house once, during my trip, just to make sure things seemed shipshape, and they were. I also tested the feeder for the two weeks leading up to my vacation to be sure of the operation, and I'm glad I did. Overall, however, I'm pleased to report that it worked splendidly. Next time I'll hook up the air pump to help keep the flake from sticking (even though it wasn't a problem), but I'm going to be a LOT more confident next time I go on vacation. (I'll still test it to be sure, about a month before I go, so I can address any problems with time to correct them if needed.)
Top reviews from other countries
1. It takes 3 hours to position a section of food over the dispensing hole so depending on whether you have flakes or pellets, it could take a while to dispense all the food, and it may not happen right away but sometime in a 3 hour window.
2. Feedings have be at least 3 hours apart.
3. The food portions are not big but with a 3D printer, I made an extension that sits on top and gives me a lot more capacity, see the picture. If you do this, may need to experiment to be sure all the food come out OK. Don't worry the timer / motor is strong enough to turn the extra weight.
If you are OK with all this then it's a great feeder for you!
