 How can you beat the price May 11, 2008
It's been exactly a month since I got the feeder and it has worked flawlessly. I'm so pleased that I bought another one. And guess what, the price at amazon has dropped from $50 to $45 a month later! Wow, how can you beat that. I went to petsmart and it was sold at $79 there.
The product is very well designed. The pet could knock the feed flat but the food will still be securely intact. Yes, some small cat may sneak some food out of the opening as does my miniture Schnauzer but I don't see how that can be a big issue. The programming is easy. The material of construction (plastic, so the whole thing is light)is not the best but it costs a mere $45.
Le Bistro Pet Feeder May 10, 2008
This has been a great product. My cats were a little stand offish at first but now they look forward to the times the food dispenses. Great Product! Good for vacation time and everyday use (for weight control).
Second one works great May 8, 2008
I read the review about this product about the direction, so I read it carefully. I got it to work BUT the portion size was huge, on the small amount (1) and on the large (8) amount. I return it to Amazon for a new one and this one works. I did not have a problem with programming it. Altho, the buttoms you have to push acouple of times to go to the next setting.
Finally, a full night's sleep May 7, 2008
While we desperately love our cat, we have become sleep deprived. She wakes us up earlier and earlier begging to be fed. On top of that, we went away for the weekend and she ate more than double the amount of food she should have. It was time to do something. I read reviews of this product and was worried about purchasing it, but I had to give it a try. I took it home yesterday, spent about 1 minute programming it and filled it up. My husband was going to set his alarm clock, the first time in years, but I told him there was no way it would work the first day. Sure enough, he was late for work this morning. I realize that I haven't owned the product long enough to write a full review, but I wanted to help people worrying about the programming. Apparently, they have have revised their instructions. There was nothing to it. The lid was another concern, but it does snap on. The food hopper has two notches on the side, so I set it the base and twisted it a bit. It seems to be securely in place. I will update my review after owning the product longer. So far, it's fantastic!
A Life saver!! May 7, 2008
I was a little wary when I ordered this feeder because of all the negative comments I read about it here but I must say that I'm glad I didn't pay too much attention to them. I received mine promptly via UPS and programed it in five minutes. It works perfectly and it's really easy to use as long as you read the instructions. I have two cats and they used to beg me incessantly at 5AM everyday until I fed them. Now (three weeks later) they leave me alone and I can leave them alone for longer than 12 hours at a time without having to worry about them. It has definitely made my life much easier.
