(More customer reviews)This thing is poorly constructed and the electronics are lousy. It did not hold up to minimal use. We set 6 of the 8 programs so it would feed 6 times per day.
After a few weeks, the electronics started to fry: the recorded voice sounded full of static and the tray would not turn fully to the next position, leaving our cat hungry. If you can't rely on this to feed your cat every time, it's not worth having!
The plastic top has a round center that "snaps on" and is the "handle" for the top. This fell off and would not snap on again.
As far as usability, the top rotates around 8 "bowls" instead of the bowls rotating underneath, which means the "feeding bowl" is constantly moving. If you want to put this in a corner, the "feeding bowl" will sometimes be facing out, and sometimes be nearly inaccessible. This means the unit takes up more space than necessary because it can't be tucked away, it has to be accessible from all sides.
I am thorougly disappointed. I am trying one other product like this (from a different manufacturer, via mightypets) where the bowl rotates instead of the top. If that doesn't work out, I'm going back to a plain dish and manual feeding.

The 8-day Auto pet feeder can be used to feed pet wet food, dry food and pet medication. It is designed with an eight compartment feeder bowl and has a unique digital timer with voice recording. The 8 day feeder digital timer features a manual override/test switch and up to 8 programs per day with daylight saving feature. The timer can be programmed at for the exact feed time unlike other feeders which have 6, 12 or 24 hour incremental feed settings. This enables feeding the pet 8 times per day for 1 day, 3 times a day for 2.5 days, or 2 times for 4 days or 1 time a day for 8 days etc. Hence pet meds can be given to the pet at the exact time. The timer records the voice and plays it back at every meal time. The 8-day Auto pet feeder works on AA batteries and is compact and portable. 8 Day feeder holds over 96 ozs of food - 12 ozs of canned food or dry food per compartment. It comes with a removable bowl for easy cleaning and ice packs to keep food fresh for up to 12 hours. The feeder works best for small dogs and cats that have to be fed small quantities of dry/wet canned food alone or mixed with medication. Veterinarian recommended.
