Really a great design!
I bought a Gourmet automatic pet feeder (PetMate) and it broke after just more than a year because of poor design. I tried to get replacement parts (5 cents plastic thing, but they would not help... their answer is buy another one the warranty is over!). This design is very modular and I checked and you can get replacement parts for everything. Furthermore the ErgoPet automatic feeder is robust and will not break as easily (the dispenser is a never-ending thick plastic screw instead of some cheap thin plastic wings for the PetMate one). The timer that is provided with it is very very versatile (up to 8 program per day).
I'm delighted with the product!
I'm using it to feed my cat so he wont wake me up at 5 AM to get food... Also, it should help being more systematic in our feeding aproach and reduce its overweight.
If you have a big dog, take the larger one, but it's robust enough for dogs too!
Great product and not really more expensive than the other solutions I could find on the web...Thanks!
P.S. Just a small idea for your design... add a small plastic cover so the timer buttons are not avalable for kids to play with..."..." Read more
