Automatic Fish Feeder Food Dispenser Vacation Fish Feeder

This automatic Fish Feeder Food Dispenser is a game changer for fish tank care when on vacation. It can be set to dispense every 8 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. I found that if using flakes type food you need to break it up a little smaller to make sure the unit doesn't get clogged / blocked with larger flakes. The unit works best with smaller particle food types. It is easy to use and the portion control is great for keeping your tank clear of excessive food distributions with the right adjustment setting. The unit is the right size to easily feed fish for up to 3 or 4 weeks depending on the setting frequency. Love that it can clip onto the opening of the light hood of my tank. Very Pleased with this fish food feeder.

Good feeder for my two-fish pond. Since I have only 2 fish in my pond, this feeder fits the task. I set it to feed every 12 hours and I can go on vacation for a couple of weeks without worry. To fill the feeder, just pull out the container, refill with fish pellets and pop it back on, easy! The motor is very quiet and the charge seems to hold for ever. I only recharged it once since I first bought it more than a year ago.

I bought this feeder to replace our old feeder that would slowly rotate like a clock and push the food out. We had issues with our old feeder stopping, jamming, and not feeding our turtle while on vacation and thankfully I'd left a key with our neighbor to check while we were away. After that last time where it stopped working in between days where the neighbor was checking, I went and bought this one as I saw it had better technology, you can adjust how many times it feeds in a day (super easy btw), and it fed so much more food in those feeding intervals (it's adjustable) than any of our previous feeders, and wasnt as difficult to put food into like our previous one where 5 pieces of food fit in a slow and god forbid you knock into it and food goes flying or tumbles out, I digress. We got this feeder, set it up, and have been so happy with it. Honestly it's an absolutely wonderful feeder and I highly recommend. The tank wall attachment is perfect, it's adjustable and very secure, the mounting bracket won't budge, although I learned that the feeder itself attached to the bracket has a potential to fall off which is where the next part comes in. But before that, know that this feeder is awesome it even comes with one of those suction cup hoops where you can either train for pets to come to the hoop for food, or if you have surface floating plants, it will prevent the plants from entering that hoop space so your pets can actually get the food when it drops. It's really a great nifty and thoughtful feeder. Now here is where the great until part comes in. Of no fault of the product or company, you must be aware that it is NOT waterproof in any way at all! I was setting up our new tank since our turtle had outgrown it's old one and I accidently bumped into the tank/feeder and it fell into the turtle tank for maybe 10 seconds not even before I yanked it out and rushed to get the batteries out and dry it off. The item did not get fully submerged, but the battery area did get wet and possibly the internal components. There is no way to open up the feeder to try to dry the internals other than where the batteries sit. The place for the batteries is not sealed in a waterproof type way and neither is the rest of the feeder. Obviously it was never suppose to take a dive but accidents happen and unfortunately I'm accident prone. I dried the feeder the best I could and let it sit out to dry all day and overnight and this morning tried to put in new batteries, in hopes that miracles happen and it would turn back on. Unfortunately that was not the case, the feeder won't turn on and I'm shooting myself in the foot for my clumsiness. Honestly it's a wonderful feeder, I was even looking to see if this company made a bigger one for bigger food since our turtle will eventually get bigger and need bigger food, but I wasn't planning on replacing it so soon (I bought it in June *facepalm*). I highly recommend for anyone that wants to ensure their beloved animals will get fed at the same time consistently. I just recommend for those that are not as clumsy as me. I do wish this design was a bit waterproof given the environment it is working in or for, which is why I'm dropping off a star and maybe the creators will adjust their design one day to make the product more waterproof or resistant. Or perhaps adjust the mounting to make sure the feeder itself is secured maybe with a screw type locking or other type system so that a simple bump to the feeder wont potentially cause the feeder to take a dive. Especially since the mounting bracket to the wall is super secure, in fact the bracket is still attached to the old tank and didn't budge at all. Overall, I really truly recommend this feeder, I was hoping to get a longer time and use out of it, but accidents happen and I'm prone to making them happen. This feeder is great for a variety of food types from fish food to turtle logs and pellets, truly give it a go if you want something that wont fail you, just make sure you aren't clumsy like me. Now I get to go and either look for that bigger style feeder or reorder this one to make up for my clumsiness, learn from me lol

Reliable Daily Performance I originally purchased this automatic fish feeder to cover feedings while I was on vacation. However, it worked so well and was so consistent that I decided to leave it on permanently. It has completely simplified my daily routine and ensures my fish are fed on the same schedule every single day. Key Features Long-Lasting Battery: I’ve been using this on battery power for over 4 months now, and it still hasn't needed a replacement. Perfect Fit: I was happy to find that it fits perfectly on my hood, making the installation quick and secure. Dual Power Peace of Mind: The fact that it can be powered by both battery and USB is a huge plus for permanent use. I don't have to worry about a power outage interrupting the schedule. Quiet and Consistent: It operates smoothly and quietly in the background without any issues. Simple Setup: It was very easy to program the feeding times, and it has remained accurate since day one. The Verdict Whether you're heading out of town or just want to automate your aquarium maintenance, this feeder is a great investment. It’s reliable enough for everyday use and gives me one less thing to worry about.

This item works as described. The only issue is rain can get in it. The hole is on top to prevent food from just dropping out. Needs a cover.

Great purchase especially when you are not on a consistent schedule to be feeding your fish or you travel a lot. It was super easy to see up and get going and even if the power goes out it has batteries so no worries about your fish going hungry.

The wife and I were going on vacation and stumbled on this as a way to take care of our fish needs for the week we would be gone. Easily programmable and works very well! Glad I purchased this piece.

This is cheap junk. Not worth it. It's very inconsistent with the amounts. I use food granules and tried setting this up before vacation. Dialing in the exact amount I want to dispense is difficult, but even after it seems to be working, it still ended up dumping way too much when we went on vacation. I came back to the messiest my tank has ever been. The mounts are also not great unless you have a tank without any sort of lip. I couldn't find a good way to mount it with my cover. It's hard to direct the food unless you use one of the 2 mounts provided. The package also contained some sort of suction cup mounting bracket, but it didn't fit with any of the other parts and was not referenced in the instructions. The plug is also USB, so you'll need a usb adapter to actually plug this in. The instructions make it seem like it will have a battery and can be charged, but it can not. IT must be plugged in to work. It's so hard to find anything decent on Amazon anymore.

Very easy and convenient to use.
