Dylan Loves the Petmate Le Bistro Portion Control Pet Feeder

I have two issues with my cat. 1. Dylan is fat for a 1 year old. 2. Dylan wakes me up before 5am each day. So, an automatic feeder was purchased ...

Great for cats and dogs, this fully automatic pet feeder features a tough plastic base that holds a food reservoir for food “on demand.” The electronic pet feeder’s simple, programmable electronics prompt the feeder to dispense portions from 1/4 to 3 cups at three selected times per day. The unit can be set to meet scheduled feeding times and amounts when caretakers are away, but it is not meant to replace human care–please be sure someone still visits the pet daily. The unit’s hopper holds 10 pounds of food and accommodates a full range of dry food sizes, shapes, and types. The feeding bowl is removable for easy cleaning. Required batteries, which are not included, sustain a long battery life of six months. One-year limited warranty.

I paid all that money for it and I got a box full of cardboard and other packing supplies, No Feeder. I was really interested in a item that my cat wouldn’t figure out how to get into in 5 seconds. She’s a smart cat and this was unusual compared to the other feeders I tried. I liked how the one person even put a little cheat sheet to show how it would work. After getting my money back from Amazon I went and searched for a product like that. I found one and I’m happy with it and it’s been over a week and the cat hasn’t even attempted to play with it, or get into it where she shouldn’t. Makes me wonder if I can ever trust Amazon in the future. Business transactions should be business like and professional. This wasn’t.

I bought this item to automatically feed our barn cat while we were away on vacation. Fortunately, I tested it for a week prior to our leaving and found it would not do the job for me. The problem was the paddle wheel that is at the heart of the food dispensing mechanism is made out of plastic. As I suspect is the case for most barns, ours is constanly visited by mice, chipmunks, etc. The critters would crawl up the dispensing chute and nibble at the plastic paddles to get at the food stash, reducing the paddle mechanism to a paddle-less hub – at which point the food just tumbled out and presented a feast for the critters, which was quickly gobbled up by them. To work in this environment, it would have needed a secure nibble-proof full-closing door. Fortunately, I was able to get a neighbor to feed my cat daily while I was away.
