When I received this product, I thought it was broken because it wouldn’t turn on. After nearly 24 hours of charging, I was able to turn the product in, but it died just a few short minutes after.I’ve been using it plugged into the wall constantly.It’s a decent feeder, but I really wish the unit could hold a charge as advertised.

Arrived quickly. Instructions were clear. In use two weeks so far and only one quirk noted. The rotating drum is tapered so the smaller end is forward where to food is dispersed and the rear is larger. This results in a slope in the drum when level. I found as the drum emptied the food had to work it’s way up hill to get to the dispensing gate. I raised the rear of the mounting bracket with a shim to make the front of the drum cant slightly downward so the food is level with the gate. This becomes a factor when the feeder reaches the half full mark. I would buy this again based on my present use. If it changes I will update

Didn’t work great since I have just a small tank so I had to add some tape and modify it so that not too much food came out, I did use the sticky adhesion thing to attach it which works great but now I’m afraid I can’t get it off which is fine I guess but it looks kinda ugly considering I’m not currently using it

We needed the feeder because we were going on vacation for over a week. The feeder needed to feed 2 Koi, and 2 other fish in the same tank. I had to use koi pellets, and gold fish flakes in the feeder. The main problem I had with the feeder is the amount of fish food coming out when it turns, it was way too much. I read the reviews and others have commented about the same problem. I taped part of the food opening shut so not too much food comes out and just added more times to feed. Worked great with the adjustment. My fish were alive when we returned.

I can leave town with absolute confidence that my fish will be happy, healthy and well feed when I return. I strongly suggest that you test the feeder for a few days before leaving home for the first time to make sure the proper amount of food is being distributed into the tank. It is very easy to overfeed if you have the feed adjustment set wrong.

This takes a bit of effort to figure out the programming, but there’s a handy guide that has directions. Once set up, it works perfectly. I bought this so I could travel and not worry about my fish, but now I use it as the only way I feed them. I don’t have a lot of fish so I had to add a piece of tape to make the opening slightly smaller, but no big deal.

Love the battery, after having an older model and resetting the thing every time it came unplugged or the power went out was a pain, this was truly nice to have to hold it’s schedule.I don’t have to worry about feeding my fish when I’m on vacation or if something were to happen to the power.It’s been running so nicely for several months now that I bought another one for my larger tank.I do have to say (I use pellet food) it feeds heavier than I need even on its smallest setting, I wish there was an even smaller adjustable door on the feeder but this can be easily fixed with tape.Changing food is mess free too, you can remove the whole drum and fill it back up without spilling anything.

I bought one of these to feed my baby angelfish while I traveled for a week over the holidays. I found it to be easy to set up and install, and am amazed at how QUIET it is! It’s so quiet that I found myself staring at it at the appointed feed times just to make sure it really was working…sure enough it’s been 100% reliable. The instructions are not great but it’s easy enough to figure out how to set it up. I came home from my week of travel to find my angels fat and happy…it’s cute how they all hang out underneath it waiting for the food to magically appear. You probably can not have a glass lid on your tank if you want to use this product. I’m always concerned about my fish jumping out so I got around this by using a sheet of plastic egg-crate (ceiling grid) from Lowes, cutting it to the size of the tank, and cutting out a rectangle for the feeder…worked perfectly. Since my juvenile angels need to eat several times a day I have left the feeder on the tank even though I’m not currently traveling. I think the consistent feed times and food amounts have really contributed to their growth. I love this feeder so much I just bought a second one for another tank of juvie angelfish. I crush up a combination of blackworm flakes and brine shrimp flakes, fill up the feeder, set it and forget it…easy peasy. Also, I love that it is rechargeable. The first one I bought back in December has only been charged once..now it is mid-February and the battery display shows that the battery is still 3/4 full! This product is WAY better than the Eheim model. You can’t go wrong with this feeder.

This works like a charm! I had trouble with it the first night until I realized that I didn’t program the last step. After that, it has worked very well and my fish have been fed on time and are happy. I used to have someone come in and feed them on a daily basis (when I went on vacation). However, there have been some issues lately so I was thinking it would be easier to have an automatic fish feeder than to have someone else take time out of there schedule to come over. There will be no further worries about my fish when I leave for vacation! I would highly recommend this fish feeder AND be sure to watch the video on how to program it.

I purchased this automatic feeder for an upcoming vacation. I found the instructions unclear and difficult to program, but I finally got it working. If you lack patience, this item is NOT for you! Operation-wise, it seemed to work well and when I returned home from a 7-day vacation my fish were still alive and healthy! Mission accomplished. I do think the instructions could use some revamping to make them more user-friendly. I basically had to figure it out with trial and error a few days before I went on vacation.

Updated—Why I didn’t know about this years ago!! 4 stars only because it’s not cat proof. Needs to have some kind of guard over the opening… Cat has pawed it open 2x resulting in massave overfeeding. Have it wrapped in aluminum foil which seems to work for now. Going to make a cover out of the flexible cutting boards from the $1 store.11/18/19 – got the dollar store flex cutting board. Thick cone of shame for a dog but no bottom 1/4. 🙂 Now it’s cat proof AND no more food falling down the backside of the tank.

Update:Customer service contacted me after this review and offered a full refund.I am satisfied with the refund and appreciate the response from the company.This feeder is not working properly. The time and feeding time are set but the feeder is not rotating. I contacted customer service via email to troubleshoot and they didn’t respond. Disappointed. I will be returning.

So this is based upon upon my husband’s experience, I will update it when I finally go home if my thoughts change.He still has not figured out how to program it and get it to work. I left with my kiddos because the virus got bad in our city, and I knew he sometimes travels for work, and we needed a way to feed our fish, and the one we bought at walmart died recently- i think because of the moisture created by the fish tank, so I am not sure if that is common problem for these fish feeders.So I am not sure about this fish feeder since my husband could not get it to work.

I bought this feeder for my turtle about three weeks ago and tested it out for three days before my trip. No issues at all – it worked flawlessly, despite the door on the device being really weak. But when I returned home 12 days later, my apartment smelled horrific and my turtle was sluggish. That’s when I noticed all the food in the feeder was gone and the door on the device had been opened all the way, despite the feeder being placed way out of reach of my turtle. I spent over $100 buying all new items for my terrarium because the smell wouldn’t go away. What a terrible product and experience.

And the battery is still going strong.UPDATE; 3 months later. I still have a full battery and I refill the flakes every week or so. This is great. I wouldn’t recommend for really expensive fish (u wouldn’t want ur fish to die over something malfunctioning). But for my community tank of cheap fish, this is fantastic. I can’t believe the battery is still fully charged from when I received it. Also has been great for when we go on vacation. Our last vacation was a week long and I was nervous to come home and see if all the fish were alive and they were all fine. Fabulous product.

I bought this thing because I can be away for periods of time but they’re not consistent – I could be home for three months, gone for two weeks, home for one week, gone for a month, etc. But, I do love my betta, Ciba, and definitely don’t want to come home to him dead. So, bought this thing and tried modifying it with tape so it would only put out an average of three mini pellets a day (which is what I feed my betta for his staple diet about four to six times a week). First time I use it I come home to my tank overrun with pellets – more than my betta could eat (and all you betta owners out there know just how much a betta will shove into it’s gut). So, I did an ammonia test, that was high, and spent the next week worrying about my betta dying of overeating or having his tail rot get worse (been fighting it but it didn’t help I had to be gone for ten days). He’s doing okay so far and the ammonia is down, so now I’m just trying to get rid of the tail rot. The feeder is a good one and is easy to use, but, if you only need a small output, don’t buy it.

It worked fine. It was simple to set up, but you have to read the timer setup instructions carefully. Nicely done. Kept my fish fed while I was away for a week.I had some issues with the size of food I was feeding and the size of the opening. It was dumping way too much food for the dozen small fish I was feeding. I taped cardboard over the slot adjusted to its smallest size and that made it work for the time I was away. I had some trouble figuring out how to clamp onto the side of the aquarium with an orientation that wouldn’t dump food on the cover, I ended up leaving the lid open, which might not work if you have ‘jumpers’.

I bought this product For having to be in the hospital for a week for open heart surgery. The directions were not clear but I finally was able to get it it programmed a few days before my surgery. I had the dial slightly opened as I did not want my fish to be over fed. It dispensed an ok amount when I tested to I set it up. When I came home from the hospital, my fish tank was the most cloudy I had ever seen it. You could barely even see the fish. I had changed the water the week before I left for surgery and usually only have to every 2 and half to three weeks. One of my fish was dead when i got home and the other two did not look well. The feeder dispensed all of the food I had put in the feeder which could have lasted them a very long time. Highly disappointed in this product and would not recommend at all!!

Bought it when we left the office to work from home for quarantine. I thought we’d be back in 3 weeks, but it’s been 90 days and counting. I did move my tank home after 3 weeks, thinking I’d need to maintain it. When I set up at home, I left the feeder in place to see how long the battery would last. It’s still charged, 90 days later! I’m feeding 2 times per day and the food hopper and charge are sufficient. My only downside is attaching it to a tank with a lid is difficult. I solved it by placing a small cardboard box on top of the lid, attaching it to that, and positioning it so the food drops into to cutout for the filter. I’m impressed.

I tried several different installation locations on the tank but the thing just gets food everywhere. Otherwise, it works fine, but it is useless to me. The thing works by spinning until an opening in the food holder is upside down, which means food starts spilling once it is on its side. It is two inches wide, so you need about a 6 x 6 opening for it to even work, and then it is very difficult to moderate the amount of food, especially if you use food flakes.If you have a tank lid, you will likely have to cut extra plastic off beyod the snap off squares BECAUSE you need a lot of space open on the top of the tank for the food to fall into.
