🐟 EHEIM Everyday Fish Feeder: Programmable Automatic Food Dispenser for Effortless Feeding Review

I have had several different feeders over the past two decades. This feeder is by far the best I have ever owned. Used while I was away for two weeks. Excellent results. It is so easy to use that I now use it every day, whether at home or when traveling.

I have two of these for two tanks. One works fine, the other does a twist and then a second 3/4 twist so the hole doesn't end where it started. I know my fish aren't going to starve, but I'm not sure if they're being fed exactly as planned. Since the other one works so well and the unit gets good reviews all over the internet, I can just buy a replacement and write this bad one off as a failure.

I used this during a week's holiday to feed my betas and guppies. As others have pointed out, you need to add tape to the dispenser to resize the microbeads and let it run for a week to track progress and make adjustments. And unless you have a large open top in your tank, you'll find pellets strewn all over the lid and maybe 25% of the amount dispensed will end up in the tank. A lot of adjustment is needed here before you can walk away and trust live fish to come home. I gave the battery life…

This battery powered little wonder saved me a lot of worry when my husband and I finally set out on the two week trip we had been planning for ages.

Easily calibrate how much food is delivered; Fill the chamber, choose the size of the opening, place it on a paper towel and press the button to see how much food comes out (first time often differs from later amounts as the chamber rotates and the must take food). eat…

The device makes a solid impression. The feed drum slides securely on its pin. Programming is very easy with one little thing you should read the instructions for. The block is weighted and has felt pads for the feet. It comes with a clip that can be attached to the edge of the tank. Batteries in the packaging must not be used for power supply. It's good to test the product and I had no issues with it, but if you actually need to use the product, why trust unnamed Chinese batteries that have…

So about half a year ago I switched to automatic feeders (versus hand feeding) and bought about 6 of these devices (all for different tanks) as a daily driver. I believe that in this time I can list a few pros and cons of this product that I think you should think about. Pros: 1) Simplicity - this product is very easy to manage and program. I lost the instruction manual a few months ago and honestly with three or four buttons you don't need a manual to figure out how to program this device. In…
