NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON WITH DEDICATED SUPER FEEDER CAT STAND). This electronic automatic cat feeder will feed from a fraction of a teaspoon to about a cup or more per serving. It can be triggered up to at least 24 times per day with a supplied easy to program analog timer (STYLE MAY VARY). All you need to do is push one tab out for each time you want to feed, and the feeder's electronic feed system will do the rest. This Super Feeder by Super Feed is extremely easy to operate and very versatile. It could also be used with a home automation system by just plugging its power adapter into a module or even a web based system. It is compact and holds 4 and 3/4 cups of food (slightly over a quart by volume). Its capacity can be increased later with extra stackable 2-cup clear extensions or 1.5 gallon hoppers available from Super-Feed. If you have a really aggressive "locksmith" cat when it comes to trying to get to the food, an optional chute cover (protective device) is available from Super Feed, but it is very very seldom needed (larger food can pass without it). Trigger two feeeders at a time with one timer for multiple cats! A "double feeder" combo is also available from super feed with chute covers installed where both feeders are triggered with only one dual outlet digital timer. This very popular quality Super Feeder has been sold for many years. Not only is it extremely dependable and easy to operate, but it comes with customer service next to none. It only needs minor assembly with a couple of screwdrivers, and it comes with all hardware needed with a heavy-duty ABS black stand especially designed for the Super Feeder and a stainless steel 16 oz. bowl (a must for cats). Proudly made in USA, try one, you'll love it as many other pet owners do! Its compact size mounted is 10" x 11" x 15" tall and is normally placed backed up to a wall, cabinet or in a corner. NOTE: Timer style may vary but will provide for at least 24 daily feed cycles.

Our cat had finally figured out that if it wants food in the middle of the night, it should wake us and beg for food. Sometimes we gave in, sometimes we didn't. Even if we didn't every time, our cat still would have woke us up simply because she has nothing better to do at 3 in the morning. This feeder was the answer to our prayers.
Overall construction is plastic. Feels sturdy enough but we'll see the effect of many years of use will have on it. My guess is that parts like the plastic roller will need to be replaced eventually. Which if metal was used this problem may have been avoided. At the price tag you would think it would be built to last forever.
Dispenser is accurate to a degree of error. The more food you want per cycle, the less error you will experience. I started trying to get it to dispense exactly 5 pebbles ever 1.5 hours which is what i measured to be between a 0.5-1 cups of food which is what the food bag says my cat should be eating. However, sometimes only 2 pebbles came out. Other times it was closer to 10. This degree of inaccuracy gave me a range of about 0.3-1.5 cups of food which was not acceptable since my kitty has weight problems. So I increased it to 10 pebbles and upped the time to every 3 hours and its pretty accurate now. The 1-2 pebble error is only multiplied 8 times a day instead of 12 so this is the major source of my higher degree of accuracy.
I found the dispenser easy to adjust. The time is easy to set. Easy to set up. Overall, a very user friendly product that works great. I am definitely satisfied and would make the purchase again in an instant. My cat agrees.

Feeder works great! Cat no longer associates me with the feeding process alleviating the constant need for him to follow me every time I stand up to leave a room. The only thing I would say is that the directions supplied with the kit are fairly weak. You can probably figure them out if you give it some time, but I would follow the link the seller includes in the email to the video demonstration.

Now that I have owned this product for almost 3 years I can give a thorough review.
LIKES - it is dependable, it's never broken down, and I don't have my two cats double teaming me at 5 in the morning to feed them. Once you set it, you are pretty much done, forever.... I can count on it 100%.
I had ONE issue last month, called tech support and spoke to the inventor HIMSELF! He was VERY helpful (VERY nice), stood by when I worked on trouble shooting the problem and stayed with me on the phone until we were sure it was back online.
DISLIKES - I wish it was quieter, but for the most part I sleep right through the noise - but it's pretty loud. The very one thing I hate the most is that the bowl can move around. My cats can't get their noses under the shoot where most of the food collects, so they pull the bowl closer to them (and therefore out of the landing zone) so if I don't make sure it's aligned before I go to bed, I find cat food ALL over the place. It's a real mess. If I could re-design it I would have the shoot higher up so there is easier access to the whole bowl, and I would put some kind of a bowl guard down to keep the bowl from moving. I might even put the bowl at a slant so most of the food slides to the front of the bowl.
For the most part I can't live without this product. If they ever broke down I would buy replacements in a heart beat!

Pluses: Works and is well constructed.
Minuses:
(1) The quantity adjustment is hair-trigger senstitive. There's no excuse for this in the electrical design. How about a multi-turn pot, or at least a usable full turn?
(2) What about simple battery backup? If both your A/C power and you are out, kitty starves to death. The supplied timer is clumsy, and a digital one would suffice much better.

This feeder is wonderful. It's easy to assemble and program, and being able to control the amount of each feeding is great. I now feed my fat cat every 4 hours about 2 tbs. of dry food in an attempt to get her weight down. And after a week or so, I've created Pavlov's Cat, for when she hears the feeder start up, she goes SPRINTING to her food. Plus this feeder has saved sleeping time. My cat used to scratch and bite me around 6:30am because she's hungry, but no more. So I've finally found some sort of harmony with my cat.
