Review on PAWISE Automatic Pet Feeder With Timer For Cats And Dogs - 1 Meal Auto Dog Dry Food Dispenser by Fort Steffen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Money is better spent on something else

This product is a real headscratcher. First off, it doesn't allow you to customize feeding times at all. It doesn't have a clock! All this product really is is a timer attached to a spring-loaded feeding dish. I'm not joking. Every time you fill the bowls, you have to wind the mechanism like an old-timey pocketwatch. Then when the timer goes off, the spring releases and the bowls rotate. It's clunky and--if I had decided to keep it longer--will inevitably break.Furthermore, the feeder gives you the ability to feed your pet up to five times in one day. But because you can't actually customize what time food comes out, you're left doing some mental math to figure out how often you want the thing to rotate in any given day. I ordered this thing because I wanted to feed my cat five meals strategically spaced out during the day (so she doesn't bother me) and during the night (so she doesn't wake up me or my wife). So if you wanted to feed your cat five times in one day, that's. 4 hours and 48 minutes. Not really the most intuitive of intervals.Enjoy trying to decipher the instructions to get it set up, also!So here's the takeway: don't trust the description. If you want to buy this, it's only because you like hearing "sproing CLUH-BLUNK" every 4 hours and 48 minutes.

Pros
  • Conserves space in smaller living environments
Cons
  • Cannot be programmed for specific days of the week
