Looked at lots of cheapies, but I wanted one with a cord. No batteries.....and there are't many options. This looks as if it will last forever!

So the pictures of the little clear food containers for this product can be a little misleading when you don't read the capacity clearly like I did (my fault) but they are pretty darn small. Had to order this extra and the shipping charges are painful. $50 altogether just for a plastic container that would interface with the feeder. Well, it does the job but it is pricey to buy separately. Do yourself a favor and just choose the combo pack with the 1.5G hopper, it'll save you a fortune in shipping charges. Gave this 4 stars because of its cost. Sorry to sound negative, I'm pleased with the product but not with the overall cost.

While I really like the auto-feeder, the availability of setting multiple feeding times and the capacity of the food holder, the timer seems to not function for the programed time scheduled. I set the timer to release food for two minutes. It barely runs for 30 seconds before shutting off. I don't understand why this is happening.

My first one lasted over the Koi pond for several years. It finally gave up the ghost. The new one works just as well as the first, it was just more expensive. I have it on an Insteon timer and works very well.
I added a large reservoir (Costco nut jar) to the top which allows me to leave town for several weeks at a time without refilling.

My wife and I breed show rabbits. They are kept on a pretty strict feeding schedule so that they are in top shape. We attach these units over the J feeders on each cage. We have digital timers for each rabbit so we can take care of their individual needs. Even though rabbits generally spook pretty easy, mine came to the feeders after the auto feeder stopped and ate normally. We plan to use these units for nights when we are out past the regular feeding time or for weekend trips. Will be buying a nanny cam so I can see the feeders working. Definitely recommend them, they worked like a charm.

Overall this looks like a quality product that will work for years to come. I am using the Science Diet kibbles as is recommended. It will not give out a consistent amount of kibbles though. I spent A LOT of time adjusting the timer and the opening of the door on the chute. I weigh the food for my cats and it could vary from 12 to 29 grams. I finally found a setting that is was comfortable with and left it at that. I only use the feeders when I leave for the weekend or go on vacation. So, it is not a huge deal for me, they are getting fed. If you are trying to put a cat on a diet and want very precise amounts of kibbles, then I am not so sure this is a good choice. I had feeders that were a tray and the lid moved to feed the cats. This of course you measure ahead of time so it is always right on. My old feeders did not work anymore since my new cat would just flip the lid off and all of the food was gone right away. If you have a cat that figures out how to get into food. The Super-Feeders will work perfect. I will say that there is some chance of them 'hitting/pawing' at the feeder and some kibbles can fall out. The base is wide and stable though. You can minimize this by setting the door chute a little tighter. Of course the feeder can always be mounted to a 2x4 and secured to the wall.

Again, these seem to be excellent feeders that should be the last I will every need to purchase. I am very happy that I got them.

This is the best auto feeder! Being able to buy accessories and/or parts is simply unheard of these days. A family run business makes all the difference. Customer service is wonderful and personal. These people really care about what they are making and selling. The feeder is adaptable to any situation. It works exactly as they say it will. My 4 cats love it! I have 2 feeders and they are used every day - not just on vacation. If you are considering an auto feeder, look no farther. This is the one to buy!

This unit has been in service as a cat feeder for over a decade now. The old style tube pieces have finally cracked. I have ordered the new style tube pieces which are even better made. I have also taken the opportunity to clean it thoroughly and it appears to me that everything else is still in perfect working condition, including the nylon roller, which surprised me a little. Our cat cannot control his eating and this device changed his behavior in a wonderful way. Eventually he stopped worshipping the device, trusting that the food would be there whenever he was ready. I'm sure some people look at this and see something a little pricey and there's something sort of DIY about it that's off-putting but this is without a doubt the best money I've ever spent on a product in my 48 years on this planet. Over a decade of use = good price. Initial learning curve = nearly zero maintenance. And I've told many people this over the years. If the motor ever wears out, I'll be back. Also, thanks for making upgrades and parts available. So cool.

perfect replacement

After watching the instructional video, I was able to adjust the feeder timing and quantity with easy. I have had nothing but great interaction with customer service. I built a wood box to put the feeder in with a dividing chute so i could feed 2 cats at the same time. The machine is a little noisy when it is running but that is good to alert the cats that it is feeding time. They got used to it after a few feedings. Great product! Well constructed and easy to use. I think this will last for years to come!

I looked at pet feeders on the internet and this looked like the best. So called the company and got a real person and he explained it very well. So I ordered one and it is working just like he said so far. Easy setup and pets are happy. Mine is outdoors and is working great. Keep up the good work as I am going to order some more. Thanks

After researching all the different cat feeders I decided to go with the Super feeder. I needed a dependable machine that would dispense at least 8 times a day and a teaspoon at a time. I went with the analog timer because if needed I could feed more than 8 times, otherwise I would have purchased the digital timer. Our cat has a deformity of her esophagus and only allows extremely small portions of food or she will throw it up. We went away for 2 days and had my daughter check on her and the machine is working amazingly well! put it together with no problem. The tricky part for me was the timer. So far it's great!
I called the company and explained what I needed and they immediately responded with their recommendations. So far could not be any happier. It's been a week that we've been using this product.

We were constantly being woken by our very bad, very hungry cat at progressively earlier hours overnight. We bought a SuperFeeder combo to feed both cats, and they've taken to it very quickly! It was fairly easy to assemble, and the components look solid. We're looking forward to a lot of restful nights!

Be nicer if the plastic didn't warp in the dishwasher.

I wish I knew about this feeder before I wasted money on other feeders that were worthless. This one is built so well and it is cat proof, even with one of my cats who was able to break into every other feeder I tried within five minutes. My cats no longer associate me with food, which means they no longer wake me up at 3:30 am. This feeder is worth every penny.

I have used the KSF-2 for about 8 years and it finally wore out, had to buy a second to replace it so our fish stay fed while we are away or just busy.
The adjustable feed amount is great for fish that just keep growing bigger and bigger.

Could not live without this product.

I have been using this feeder for about 6 years without any problems. It only would not feed if I forgot to fill it, and with the added extension, that is only about once every ten days. Finally, it did empty the entire feeder in 24 hours so I am replacing it with the exact same feeder, but new. I think the timer went kaput, as in testing the feeder, I could not get it to fail. Thus I have a spare one, if and when I should every have a problem. I love the adjustability of the feeder and the fish love its dependability.

A great product. Cat proof.
you have full control of how often and how much food is dispensed, unlike other feeders.
worth the price.

I had a different feeder before, and we loved not having to get up at the crack of dawn to feed hungry cats. I did a lot of research, and finally decided to purchase this one after the one I previously had just mysteriously stopped working. This one costs a little more, but I like the fact that it is made in the USA, I can get replacement parts, and I can potentially get it repaired if the need arises.
It wasn't difficult to put together (even for someone challenged with things like that such as myself). The video was very helpful. I like that the timer is external - less issues to go wrong with the unit.
I have 2 cats, and they can eat together from the one bowl quite easily. I did not need to fashion a system to feed them separately - although they get along fine when it comes to food.
The way the dispenser dispenses food is different as well. I feel that food will not get jammed in there, if that could be an issue with certain feeders. It is easy to adjust to different sizes of food as well, which I thought was unique.
Our other feeder emitted a loud beep when it was feeding time, which this one doesn't. I have to say I am loving that in the wee hours of the morning! This one is quiet enough that I don't hear it.
So far so good... I'm hoping it lasts longer than the year my previous feeder lasted!

I feed my cat 12 meals a day, 1/16 cup per feeding. Try doing that with any other feeder! Not a perfect score because Of the high price.
