1 out of 5 stars Not very rugged   September 3, 2008
We purchased this product, and within a week one of our dogs broke the plastic top. This product is not very rugged and is not a good fit for bigger or energetic dogs.


3 out of 5 stars Good.. but not for the smart cats   June 24, 2008
Works really will but not for intelligent cats! They will learn how to unscrew the top & break the turning mechanism over time. Mine first learned how to losen the screw that held the turning cover in place. Over time (Maybe six 2-5 day trips over about a year) my cat learned how to force the lid to move enough to access the adjacent comparments. Eventually my cat cracked and then broke the mechanism that turns the lid.
So in sum, if you don't have a curious kitty... this is a well designed product that has voice recoding and plastic compartments to keep wet food cold for a few hours.



4 out of 5 stars Guilt free weekend get-away   May 22, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Other than the timer not working, which the manufacturer replaced, this product fulfills my needs. I feed my cat twice a day, so I can set it for 3 1/2 days of meals, and go away without having to ask my neighbors to help. The feeder should really be called a 7 meal feeder, as the 8th compartment is open. The 7 second voice recorder, activated when each compartment opens, is a bit silly. When the cat hears the compartment opening, he doesn't need a recording of my voice to announce dinner.


5 out of 5 stars 8 day Pet Feeder   May 10, 2008
We bought this for our dog to use while we're on vacation. It works great and it's really neat that she'll be able to hear my husband's voice when it's dinner time...Great Product!


2 out of 5 stars Nice idea, but not worth the cost.   March 24, 2008
I purchased this for my 19 year old cat that is on a wet food diet, but I just returned it. The instruction booklet was awful, the batteries died within a month, I had trouble aligning the lid with the containers, and my cat eats such small amounts of food that it would just get pushed up against the sides of the dish, and he couldn't get to it easily. Nice idea, but not worth the cost.
