Only just had reason to use this timed feeder. It worked great one Saturday morning, then a week later it didn't open at all. The batteries are a good brand and the timer inside was still ticking down. I tested it again while being home and the timers haven't moved at all. Very disappointing, especially for the price of this!

The product worked fine at first. It's a little hard to programme a time as it is a dial with 4 hour intervals, but I didn't mind the timing not being perfect. However after a few months of use, it just stopped working. Changed the batteries and that did not work. I can still hear the ticking inside, but the dial does not move.

Broke within 2 months of buying. Also my cat managed to figured out how to open the flap making the timer absolutely useless.

The timers are useless - as they are wind up timers it is really hard to determine if both are even set for the same amount of time meaning one of your cats may be getting fed at a different time or both fighting over the same bowl. However, I did not actually get to test it as mine did not pop open! I wondered why my boy was waking me up at silly o'clock and I went into the hall and it got to 0 and did not pop open. I'll be investing in a moor expensive one with a better timer function.

I set both for one hour to test. 4 hours later nothing happened. I changed the batteries and tried again. Still nothing. I can hear ticking but the dial never moves. I could understand a fault with one side, but not both. Terrible product, save your money.

Bought 2 of these as one cat has a special diet - have spent several days trying to get them to open at the same time and have failed at every attempt. Will be looking for another product
