Works good, but it is very hard to program but if you follow the instructions it does work. I bought two units. One for the fish and one to drop pellets for the lobster. The feeders also have a problem that the processor locks up. They give you instruction on how to reset it. It did it on one of the first times I programmed them up. I reset them and they work fine. I used them several times sense and they have not failed me. The units are larger than I pictured and have no way to clean them out except rinsing.
RELIABLE FEEDERJune 23, 2008 Good product, does what it suppose to do. Setting the feeding time was easy as 1-2-3. (why are so many people having trouble?). The clamp does not retract far enough to fit over a tank with a wider lip, but that can be easily overcome by unscrewing the suction cup from the clamp bolt and not using it. I am very please with this feeder.
just what i wantedJune 11, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a 20 gallon fish tank with six fishes(kois and goldfish) and I wanted a fish feeder for when I go on vacation which is normally about ten days. I used this item and it worked perfectly. You just have to program it for the time of day you want the fish to be fed and it can feed up to two feedings at a time . What happens is the drum just makes two rotations and drops the food. Setting up the feeder is like programming your digital watch so just follow the instructions and all will be fine but dont lose the paper. I t also works with batteries so you dont have to worry about power outages......just what I wanted
auto feeder.May 12, 2008 The clamp wouldn't open far enough to go over the top of the aquarium. Had to modify it and make my own bracket. It's hard to program the feeding time. Too many steps. It works now but the clamp opening needs to be enlarged.
Hard to install but worksApril 17, 2008 It was indeed hard to install as others have said. Had to cut away some of the plactic rim around the the top of the tank to get the vice to work at a elavation where it didn't bump into the tank light hood. But after that it has been smooth sailing. Batteries seem to be good. I have had it up for a month now I suppose. Two happy gold fish when I got back from vacation. No problem with moist flakes either.
