Aspen Pet Le Bistro Portion Control Automatic Pet Feeder 5#

Works great, my only disappointment is the food tray moves out of place with many feedings. The lid is a bit difficult to remove and replace.

I tried two of these and they were both defective. It doesn't dispense enough food when it activates.You can never tell if if it worked or not. Food would trickle out randomly. It caused way more of a headache than what it's worth. 100% defective product.

arrived well boxed,easy to put together,easy to program

I can say that the whole idea behind automatic pet food feeders is a welcome platform. The idea of controlling the amounts and times our pets will be fed is very attractive and welcome. The only problem I've encountered is my petmate auto-feeder is not consistent enough. I got it for my cat and I feed her Blue dry cat food which is fairly small bits. My understanding is this feeder works with 1/2" size food bits at a much more consistent as far as its ability to completely drop the predetermined amount into the food dish. Mine does some of the time, others it will drop part of the predetermined amount into the food dish and either the rest hasn't completely emptied into the food dish, where you need to shake the feeder to get the rest to drop. Or not enough was picked up by the rotating wheel inside the main portion of the feeder. And it also seems that every third feeding never comes out at all unless you shake the feeder. When it happens on the early morning feedings(reason I got it) my cat will come let me know.

Unit looks well designed and works well.

I have been having trouble with the feeder getting the food stuck in the pinwheel. So it has been intermeditely working.

this item can't be reset to drop just once a day after being set up to drop three times a day. I tried to remove the batteries to reset.After a month in service it started droping three times too much food per serving with the lowest drop setting.

Raccoons love it. I duct taped it closed & wired it down and they still got into it. Programming instructions should be molded into the unit.

PetGuys had the BEST price on this item of all the places I shopped on the web. Good product. It feeds on time and the right amount. It didn't take my dogs anytime at all to get used to it. I got one for each dog so they didn't fight over the food. Works reliably well and we are more than satisfied with this product.

This feeder does not control the portions as expected. It worked for a few days then started putting 4 to 6 times the programmed amount.

As a working Cat mom this has made my life easier. I don't have to rush home from work to feed my babies. So far it's working out, it dispenses the correct amount of food i programmed at the right time. The only negative so far is that it doesn't come with an AC adapter, but it does have the option of adding one. Not sure how long the D batteries will last I put in it.

I really like this feeder & my cat likes it too!

We've only had the Petmate Le Bistro for about two weeks and we got this so we could go on vacation and our cat would have food (we also got an automatic water bowl) It worked well when we went away and she seemed confused by the noise it made at first, but took to it quickly. It always feeds her at the right time that we programmed. It does feed her too much food though, but she doesn't eat it all and seems to stop eating when she's full. Overall we are very happy so far and hope it will last for at least a few years. I do think the top feeder shouldn't be clear though because sometimes she tries to paw up at the food she sees.

This items is great to help out busy cat owners who want to be sure "Cuddles" eats on a regular schedule, even if the owner is not (or traveling for that matter). Very easy to program with the ability to vary feeding amounts and times up to three times a day.

I like it. It was easy to put together and it does dispense the food properly
