Great Item! July 18, 2008
Our first auto cat feeder, we use Purina One and it works great! Very easy to program. The one thing that doesn't make it perfect is the plastic bowl is pretty flimsy, for a great/pricey product, you'd think the plastic would be tougher then milk-jug plastic or that annoying stuff that wraps batteries. If my cat could jump on the top(12lb cat) it might break...
 Easy to use and something your pet will appreciate July 16, 2008
We purchased this pet feeder for our two cats. One is fairly big and the other one is about average size. It is easy to program. I set the thing to feed three times a day and give them about 1/4 cup each time. It is also good because our cats are on a feeding time. They were getting their food at erratic times since I wake up at different times each morning. Given the 5 lbs. capacity, that it's nice that we don't have to worry about it for a few days.
I use Science Diet and like the other reviewers, use food that's bigger than pebbles. This is highly recommended along with the water fountain to give your pets the best water and freshest food on a daily basis.
 Easier programming - dispenser is not effective! July 16, 2008
I had the original LeBistro feeder for several years. Other than the CRYPTIC programming technique, it worked wonderfully. I was surprised to see that the plastic "flaps" that hold the food in place had disintegrated. I wouldn't expect a feeder this expensive to do this, but I travel a lot, and need an automatic feeder.
I purchased the upgraded version (linen, larger capacity) and was dissapointed from the first day. The container is chinsy, light weight plastic and easily comes off the base if you open the lid. I've had two major spills in the month I've owned it.
The cats (2) can't "get in there" and eat as easily as the new bowl is tucked under the mechanical part.
But, the worst is that I keep going into that feeding room to find that the food does not stay put! I use the exact same type and it just falls through the plastic flap barriers (the part that disintegrated on the old model).
So, instead of being fed 1/4 cup twice per day, the cats get a steady stream of food. Completely undesirable for me, fantastic for them...
This is a complete waste of fifty bucks. There is no way to return this since I bought it through Amazon and have used it, so I'm SOL.
Buy the older model, and put up with the difficult programming a few times per year, or search for a different brand altogether.
Easy to use, controlled feeding July 14, 2008
I bought this product to automate and portion-control feed my cat. It works well and works great so far. Easy to set up...just add food. Worth the cost, even if you only use it when you vacation.
 Handy July 10, 2008
I read reviews for a different model which said the unit was hard to program, but I found this model easy to program. This unit has stopped my cat from bothering me in the morning to feed him. It dispenses in 1/4 cup increments but it actually dispenses slightly more than the selected amount. It would also be nice if it could be plugged in. Overall though, if you have a cat that meows like crazy in the morning bc hes hungry, try this!
