Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Current USA Aquachef Auto Fish Feeder
Customer Review: Auto fish feeder
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two of these and I use them every time I have to leave town and they are very convenient. I have two 60 gallon tanks, one community and one cichlids and they handle the different amount of foods well.Customer Review: Broke within a few uses

This fish feeder was more expensive than my last one, and the cheaper one is way better! This feeder stopped working after just a few tries...digital is not always better!Customer Review: Bulky but good
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit is a LOT bigger than it looks. Putting that aside, the timer/clock gains about 2 minutes a month but thats not of concern to me. Easy to adjust outpput from flake food to pellets but a pain to fill. The opening is on the inside of the drum but is awkward and small. If you use a funnel, the task is much easier. Hard to beat the price though, even with its drawbacks. The other feeder I use (Marineland) is much smaller, easier to fill and holds about the same amount of food but isn't as easy to adjust output from pellets to flakes as this one is. The other unit costs a bit more but given the pros vs cons, they come out pretty much even. Both have about the same battery lifespan which is about a year between changes. If price isn't a factor, I would choose another feeder but if on a tight budget, you can't go wrong here.Customer Review: DIdnt like this

I didnt like this but im not sure I really gave it a chance. How ever I tried several new batteries in this and it still ran as if it was gonna die. you have to crush the fish food into a powder in order for it to fall out even with the flap to open all the way. I set all 4 timers to run the feeder and nothing came out I left it on the floor for a week to see if it would spill any food from it and nothing happened. Maybe I got a defective product I donno. How ever this product should have been built better I will look else where. Also I only paid [...] for mine other wise I would have returned this.Customer Review: Dependable and Worth having
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
I left for the entire summer for my job and haven't been home to feed the fish although a friend is changing the water that is by no means a daily thing. I didnt even bother using the batteries it came with as I never trust the batteries I get with items as they are often dead or near dead. Just put a new set of batteries in and your ready to go. The programming is easy and required little to no work. The instructions help but if you've ever programmed a digital watch its about the same level of complexity. I highly recommend this item. Pellets/small flakes are the way to go and a mix could work as well.
Cons:
Mount is not very good but easily modified to fit and aquarium. It is easily reversible as well.
