Great product
I honestly don't know what people are complaining about. If they find it tricky to do, they must be doing it really wrong! I'm currently using two of them, one for water and one for food. While it's true that the food gets a bit stuck, my cat quickly learnt to stick his paw inside and food will come down again! It's a really good product at bargain price.

water bowl
i brought this for my 3 cats thinking it would prevent water going stale and provide fresh water! . . . . but i find you cant fully fill it up as soon as you put the bottom back on and turn it the right way up its almost half empty again, because it is plastic it needs washed ever 2 days also my youngest cat has a habit of nocking it over and the water goes everywhere! but its not a bad idea just a few flaws.

Rabbit happy
This has made my rabbit happy. I stand it on a plastic box outside his cage, and push the water dish between the bars. If your cage bars are to close then hacksaw one out to make room. Using it this way, the rabbit can not knock it over, or kick the water container, which would make it leak. As it will be about 7" above floor level, it means the rabbit has to reach up to drink, but it is a far more natural way for the rabbit to lap up the water, than for it to have to get it from a tube, the method most pet shops offer. and the water stays clean. By fitting the top on tight first, tilting it back so as to fill it under the tap through the bottom, you can fill it to within 1" of full

Perfectly adequate for a little sipper
As long as you have the 'long end' of the reservoir in the right position this is perfectly adeqate for providing fresh water. Mine fits quite snugly so there's a small trickle effect which is fine. A quick jiggle or twist releases more if needed.

Great for water
I bought the smaller one of these for my guinea pigs run as they kept tipping over a normal bowl.
This is very easy to fill and use. My piggies haven't managed to tip it over even though they have tried. 5 stars

Brought 2 for Water
Not one of the best products I have puchased. Has a few design flaws that need tweeking. Have finally worked out that to stop the dispenser losing most of it's water you have to make sure that the longest lip of the water holder needs to be at the front so that it sits in the bottom dish. This way you do not lose as much water as it fills the bowl much more slowly. On the plus side it does hold a large amount of water per dispenser so you do not have to constantly keep having to refil bowls all day. Good if you have cats/dogs that drink lots

used for water
I brought 2 of these for the rabbits and they are brilliant. I have no problems filling them, I dont spill any water at all most of the time now. As long as the top is the right way round, my dad found that one out!

Great for water
easy to fill with water and there is 3 days supply for one cat. Food gets stuck so I just leave a large bowl of kibble.

Almost perfect!
Bought this for "our" second cat (comes in from next door...).
The only niggles are that when I've used it for dry food I have to give it a bit of a shake or tap to get it to flow out of the main part,, and I find it a bit hard to not spill the water when I put filled container onto the base again.

Not good for food!
Someone wrote that her cat lets her know if the food hasn't trickled down as it should, but that's no use if you're using it for when you are away! Most people who give this 5 stars seem to have been using it for water - I haven't tried that yet, but for food (quite small kibble too) it's absolutely useless! Like others, I've ended up with a full thing of it all over the kitchen floor, and when you finally do get it filled it (a flat top might help here) it just doesn't work. Once the bowl was empty I had to shake it to get more to come down (obviously my cat isn't advanced enough to do that!). Then I tried raising the back end on a bit of wood so gravity might help - still no use! Complete waste of money for food - might as well just fill a giant bowl up if you go away. I will try it for water and maybe (hopefully) write a more positive review.

Cat Food Dispenser
I found this to work quite well, except that the biscuits do tend to get stuck inside sometimes, however, my cat soon lets me know loudly if that happens. The top does seem to come off too easily though, resulting in a whole fill of food all over the floor, but a couple of thick elastic bands do the trick of holding it on. Overall a good buy.

How to fill em up
Hi all, we bought one of these for our kitten the filling upside down and turning over technique means that the top has some empty space, however there is still more than enough for a couple of days without refilling. If you are going away for longer and want to utilise the full capacity, fill the sink with water and fill the tub and turn it over under water. You will have a full tub that will provide a weeks water for our little kitten, great product for the price

Dissapointing
I bought these as they seemed to have a lid on the top for easy filling and after reading the positive reviews.However the tops are not removable lids and it is difficult to refill without messing everywhere plus the fact that you have to refill upside down and then turn them upright makes most of the contents pour into the trays (which is meant to happen) but it leaves the main container almost empty making the product a waste of time. If the tops had removable lids for easy filling then they would be worthwhile. They go to all the trouble of putting the tops there in the first place, why could they not have made them removable.

excellent product
I have the large one of the 2 sizes, is fine for water, I have had no problems filling it (upside down for those who aren't sure!) pop the dish part on and then flip it over. No leaks, No problem. Not using it for food but my 3 cats use this fine. Lasts a couple of days before need to refill. really good value I think.

Water Mess Saver
We now have 4 of these and will send for one more.
For several years our Cairn who is diabetic & losing the sight in one eye, has oushed her normal bowl causing pools of water on the kitchen floor. Not even putting it in a large roasting tin & using absorbant mats made her stop!
ONE Dog Fountain in the kitchen has done just this.
No more pools on the tiles.
And she loves the others outside.
So do I as I now have only to fill them once a day!

Not Quite Sure
I bought four of these for my two cats while we are on holiday . Putting water in them is quite tricky but once mastered it's fine although I've found when you put dry food in , the biscuits take a little persaution to spill out. I'm a little worried now that the cats are going to find it hard to get the food out when they are hungry.
On the whole a good idea but not quite sure how practical it is.

Good but smaller than expected
I got this for my toy poodle as he has a tendency to upturn his regular water bowl. I bought the small size. The amount of liquid it can hold is great, but I found the drinking area is very small. If I was buying again, I would go for the larger size. I don't think either size would be big enough for a medium to large dog. I found it easy enough to fill, just fill upturned reservoir to the rim, place tray/bowl on top and turn it upright slowly. Works every time.
