"These feeders are simple."I even watched them being fed on the home video cameras while I was away. May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip. The slider door does not move on its own during rotations. Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. Overall this is a very good feeder. 5 notches and it's worked perfectly for me. There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl.

"This is a great feeder."I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better.

"Highly recommend it!"I have been feeding twice a day with one spin per time. It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. 5 notches and it's worked perfectly for me. Took me all of 5 minutes start to finish to get it set up. The barrel with the food spins at each specified feeding time.

"Fish survived."The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. You can tell it how many times you want it to spin, up to 3, I think. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. They have fish and the need for them to be fed was much needed.

"So far so good!"The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. It also allow multiple feeding option and times.

"I plan to buy it."I bought this feeder to use on my betta tank for weeks when I go home from college. The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. The slider door does not move on its own during rotations. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food. Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided.

"A VERY good value."It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day. I am not sure if he ever associated the vibration with food. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. I decided to use it as the everyday feeder, and not just when I'm out of town. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium.

"Love this feeder."I feed small pellet food, about the size of sand. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. I would rather overbuy than underbuy. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. All the time and effort I could have saved. I look forward to my next vacation with asking someone to feed my fish.
