Dogness F06GN Programmable Feeder Mini Feeder - Multifunctional LCD Control Panel, 2 Litre Capacity, Light Green, Green

The manual had very small print. However Instructions were easy to follow. I purchased this to help control my cat’s diet. The portion control is in increments from 1 to 39. Lots if choice for serving size.

It works great! Loved it so much I ordered a second one

My cat has health issues that require frequent feeding, so I was looking for a small, unobtrusive feeder that would allow me to give him small quantities of dry food at night (he eats freeze-dried raw otherwise). After reading reviews of feeders that allow control via phone, I really wanted something simple that wouldn't have software issues.This was the smallest feeder I could find and it does just what I need.Pros:-Allows me to feed very small portions (I measured, and the smallest unit is 2 teaspoons of dry food)-Has removable metal dish rather than attached plastic, which is important for keeping clean and preventing feline acne_Dish is shallow and wide enough that it doesn't bother his whiskers-Takes up very little space-I like the shape though control panel looks a bit old school-The lid has a latch (the other model I was going to buy by same company doesn't) and an insert to keep food dry-The military clock means I don't accidentally confuse AM/PMCons-Setting options is a bit awkward because buttons require a fair amount of pressure and the control layout isn't very ergonomic.-The inner chamber doesn't have a removable hopper for cleaning, so it's a little more work to clean out.The recording playback is a little unsettling honestly, but it gets my cat's attention, and his love of crunchies quickly overpowered his trepidation.I might have given four stars due to the cons, but the pros far outweigh them for me--this was the only small capacity feeder I could find anywhere and it's straightforward to use.

We bought this for our very food motivated cat who has been a challenge to feed because he will literally eat *all* the food if it’s in his bowl so there was no way to leave extra if we had to be away at mealtime. Plus he was always waking us up at the crack of dawn to be fed.We tried another type of feeder with covered bowls that flip open, but it didn’t seal so he just went insane trying to get them open and would mess up the dial timer so that it would open late.So far so good with this one though. He tried the first day to get his paw up the shoot and get to the food, but after being unsuccessful, he’s left it alone. The recording sounded bad so we erased it, but the sound of the food falling into the bowl is plenty to get him dashing across the house for his meal.He also gets a 4am feeding now so he’s not waking us up anymore. It’s awesome!The only thing I would change would be to have a removable insert inside that could be washed. Not sure how I’m going to be able to do that effectively.

This little machine is very dependable. My cat gets quarter cup twice a day so far it’s very accurate. Be careful when you set up for a portion size selecting #1 is a very small amount. The feeder I used to have # 1 was a quarter cup. Example if you want a quarter cup you need to select five times. It spits it out in increments. my suggestion is to test it make sure portions are what you want . before you go away for a day or two. Also keep in mind the hopper is fairly small good for about a week or so to keep an eye on it. All in all I’m very happy with it. Like that it’s compact and kind of cute to
