Awesome!!!

I love this as a first auto feeder for dry food, especially for the price (at least when I bought it on sale). The issue is that it seems to release food at random times other than the times that it is set. Also, I could only get three feeding times to be programmed. It would also be much better if it could record more than one message and then assign different voices for different times. Before the auto feeder, my wife and I would each randomly feed them. I would like to set it for each of our voices at different times of day. After a few months of using this, one of our cats has definitely become closer with me, than her. It seems like only ever hearing my voice when being fed has made him like me more. Great for me but it obviously sucks for her. So, to conclude, the concept of the auto feeder works amazingly well with our cats and this was a cheap introduction to test it out. But it would be better to get a more feature filled one if you already know that they like these. Also, the lock for the top works great and I can see why it was necessary. Even if this isn't the one that you buy, I wouldn't consider any such feeder that does not have that feature.
