Amazon Basics Automatic Electronic Timed Pet Feeder - 6 Portions, Blue

Semplice da usare … lo modificherò per renderlo utilizzabile e inespugnabile al momento così praticamente inutile i miei gatti lo aprono appena ne hanno voglia e divorano tutto… guardate il video e vi renderete conto voi stessi… avevo poca fiducia era un tentativo

I have 2 automatic feeders already and needed a third, as the price of the one I purchased previously has shot up to around £75 I thought this would be a good alternative.I was so very wrong! You cannot set a specific time to feed your cat which is frustrating when I like all three fed at the same time. The bigger issue is that the cats within an hour worked out how to get into it and devoured all the biscuits in one go. So if you need this to space out their snack times whilst your away the chances are on day one they'll have nothing left for the remaining days.Please don't waste your money on something that doesn't work.Stick with the higher priced model with a time display and voice recorder, its a real investment and solidly made!

We bought this to feed pellets and sticks to our rabbits twice a day (in addition to the bail of hay they have) to cover weekend trips. The portion size capacity of each section was at the limit to fit all the food in for two rabbits and quite a small aperture for them to fight over access to it too, but just about works okay.Two things to note are:1) The timer works on an ‘interval’ basis, in other words, you only set one time/duration and that is the interval at which the feeder then rotates to the next section. So if i set a timer of 12:00 it will rotate to the next section every 12hrs, so gives 2 feeds a day., for three days (6 sections in total). This does mean however, that you need to set it going at about the correct time of the first feed, as there is no delay feature/does not work on a clock timer.2) This then leads us onto the next issue, where there is no retractible cover over the first section, which means when I go to put the feeder down, it is already showing/offering the first feed…which in effect wastes/uses that section, since the rabbits will immediately eat this portion, whereas I would like to just manually feed the rabbits at that point myself and for the feeder to have a temporary cover over the feeding window when the timer is set, so that they then get their next feed, say 12hrs later, fully using the 6 portions on the timer…as it is, you only really get 5 timed portions…so I have marked it down a bit for that poor design.But the interval (timer) is easy to set and it is easy to dismantle for cleaning and filling, does not take up a lot of space and is good value, for a very basic feeder. Just make sure it does what you want it to. I would only put dry food in here, too.

I'll preface this by saying that my cat is a tenacious, determined, food motivated gremlin that used to be a stray. This cat pulls open cupboard doors, drags out bags of bread, once munched on a Satsuma, crawled into a communal waste bin, and once ate then vomited a piece of cling film that had once contained an egg mayo sandwich. So this is 3kg of pure hangry cat. (she's been checked over and tested on, don't worry just a remnant of her previous life)So this timed cat feeder was easy to set, ran to time, easy to fill and replace and initially was going well. Until the cat started clawing at the top, kicking the sides and dragging the feeder across the room. Each time she managed either to pry the lid off, or offset the turning table so it flat out didn't work.I think this would work well with a normal cat. Just not my cat. Also would be nice to have some sort of noise/recording when the door turns as an alert/call the pet over.

I bought two of these as we have two kittens. I bought this teal one and a blue one- this is actually a review for the blue one. It would not let me leave a review for it (but they are all listed on this page anyway).We purchased because our kittens are little and are eating four small meals a day for now. We need to be out for long periods at weekends and thought it would be a good idea to have the bowls in place so my MIL doesn’t have to worry about feeding them when she comes to check on them whilst we are out, as she is not confident doing their food.We used them once yesterday. Either the kittens had not realised the compartments had opened, or it had not turned because one of the compartments was full when we came back (not like our kittens to not eat every last bit!).Went to fill them again today and the blue one’s lid has decided to rotate permanently. Rendering the product entirely useless. Will be returning and not sure if I even want a replacement. Should have just got more expensive ones which we have used for previous cats as much more reliable (the catmate one). We got cheaper versions as we do not think we are likely to use them when they get bigger and can be on fewer and larger meals.
