Based on a the usual AA battery powered clock design, yet somehow it only feeds once per 24hours
July 8, 2019
It's a bit big for a single fish since many people do not give a single betta that large of a bowl! We put the adjustable legs back and clamped it to the side of our hex shaped bowl. The rubber that was on the clamp was destroyed out of the box - someone/somethign had cracked the screw so tight that it destroyed the soft rubber foot. But it stays just fine.
It only drops a few round pellets at a time, which is great, but... despite appearing to be yet another feeder based on a AA powered clock module, it only feeds once every 24 hours. I expected it to rotate like the hour hand and feed twice per day. I suppose it keeps the tank clean longer but our little guy eats more than 4 pellets in 24 hours!

Good idea for the purpose, it just needs more development work. I am never sure if it feeds the fish or not, so I am feeding the fish as well every 2 days just in case. A notification if it ever fails would be nice.

Works perfectly

In the past I had bad results with "vacation feeders" so I tested this product on an empty drinking glass first. It work as promised. I couldn't be happier.
Pros
- Easy to mount on tank and battery compartment isn't difficult to open.
Cons
- Opening the food chamber is hard to do.

Interesting auto feeder

This is a pretty cool idea for someone like myself who just needs their betta fed once a day while I'm gone for a few days - no programming, just install the battery, fill it at the time you want the fish fed and connect it to the container
Pros
- It's ease of use
Cons
- Be careful of the tiny tabs that hold the ball mechanism together - I've already broken one off getting the thing apart but the other two still hold it together
