Review on ๐Ÿ  FISHNOSH 2022: Automatic Fish Feeder with Timer for Small Tanks, Big Aquariums & Pond โ€“ Battery-Operated Feeders for Goldfish, Koi & More! by Gillian Francis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots and lots of annoying design flaws

Working - nominally. Just a list of reasons I'm glad I only need it for a few days: 1. Weak. Things don't go well. Things that should be tight aren't.2. The display is almost invisible. Very difficult to read.3. Some of the tiny elements that appear on the display are clearly not intended for those with less than perfect eyesight. The aquarium mount can be with a clip if you have a more traditional aquarium. I have one with a solid top and the clamp has nowhere to go. To do this, they have a very sticky double-sided pad. The clip is removed and the feeder is attached to the aquarium with this strong adhesive pad. It will be a nightmare to remove the pad - the pad is very effective and doesn't come off easily. Since it is attached to the aquarium, tearing it off will be a problem. The barrel is filled through a sliding door. And to control the amount of feed per feeding, leave the door open just enough so that the correct amount of feed falls out when the barrel rotates and the hole is now down. This hole is at one end of the barrel and this will be an issue when the barrel is less full - spin-feed just can't get into the hole, resulting in zero feeding. And that's exactly what I experienced when testing the device. Generally do not trust. I'll only be away for a few days so I'm not too concerned, but I wouldn't consider staying longer. It's disposable. Pros: - Instructions are ok - Diagrams are helpful. The setup area is very confusing, partly because of the incredibly small amount of text in the very low contract portions of the display. - Works mostly if you keep the feed barrel full enough.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Hard to tell
