How long will it last

I give it 4 stars, the key is how long it lasts. The last one I had I only used 4 weeks a year while on vacation to feed Koi, I've had it for 3 years. Then it turned off, yes I put new batteries in it so I bought this one, it doesn't use batteries. I hope it lasts. The last one I had was kept in a dry storage cabinet until I used it, then it won't work, it's a pity they don't request a review every 12 months after purchasing a product,

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some little things

The feeder is great but: The aquarium cleaner

The feeder itself is great. However, the timer is lame. The feeding cycle is fixed at 35 seconds and can be set to multiple cycles per feeding. A ton of food is thrown away in one cycle. We have a 1500 gallon carp pond with 4 very large koi and 4 very small carp. The amount of food in a cycle is much more than they can eat and the excess is sent to the skimmer. I bought a new timer from Super Feeder, model ACDT-20, which allows the feed cycle to be set in a few second increments. I already had…

Pros
  • is clear even to the old one
Cons
  • That makes me nervous

13 months later. UPDATE

Here I am. It's been over a year and the feeder still works well, even in the Florida sun and rain (still the cover over the bin). Also, I haven't changed my mind about the integrity of CNZ Lighting. They stand behind what they sell. How wonderful what makes her an excellent seller! My review below was absolutely correct - HOWEVER - the seller, CNZ Lighting, was great in their response! When I discovered the faults Revain's 30 day return window for the feeder had already expired but the seller…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
