"Very quiet."

I can leave town and not worry about the fish. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better. I can leave town and not worry about the fish. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish.

hygger Final Thoughts

"Just a great design."

The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. I saw another reviewer who said they had two of these on their tank. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. I have a one gallon tank with a betta. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine.

"It s working out great."

May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip. It also allow multiple feeding option and times. However, I was able to get it to stay stuck in between two. It is tied down to keep it from falling into the tank. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. For the price, I do not regret my purchase. Programming was not too difficult, but does need careful reading.

"These feeders are simple."

I couldn't hear it was running still I saw fish foods in the tank. Once I got the opening where I wanted it, things have gone great. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. I like the fact this uses batteries and not a cable. I uploaded a video so if you found this helpful please give it a thumbs up. It takes 3 presses of the set button to move to the 3rd feeding time. However until I find a tank that fits my space, that is it.

"I have it set on about 1."

I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. The size of the food compartment is huge depending on the number of fish you have. Another big tip for flake food users. I feed small pellet food, about the size of sand. Online instructions are not much help. It took a min to figure out the instructions. Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time.

"It meets my expectation."

I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. I added a small funnel to catch the food and guide it. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. I have no complaints and fish are happy. For the gouramis I have flake food, but for the corys I have sinking pellets.

I am not sure if he ever associated the vibration with food. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. Not sure why they suggest not to do so, but it worked just fine. I mix Omega One Color and Tetra Color flake foods in a ziplock bag. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. The cup is removable and there is a large door on the side as well.

DGZZI First Impressions

"Easy to configure."

The price was good, and I recommend it! It would probably sell like hot cakes. However until I find a tank that fits my space, that is it. You don't have as much control over applications as if you feed by hand. The rechargeable battery makes me feel better about the environment. I couldn't hear it was running still I saw fish foods in the tank. You can tell it how many times you want it to spin, up to 3, I think.

"Freaking amazing y'all!"

There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl. This does everything but fill itself with food. Other than this complicated setting, it's very easy to use. It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. All the time and effort I could have saved. On this one you don't have to reset anything when filling. He eats once a day, but you can set this to feed up to four times a day.

Suitable for locating anywhere on the tank ledge. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit. There is a small sliding door that allows the food to escape. I figured too much food was better than too little. The barrel with the food spins at each specified feeding time. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made.

"Love this feeder."

They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. 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. So you don't have to constantly be adding food. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Other than this complicated setting, it's very easy to use.

You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose.
