Product Description
As pet parents, we know that life can sometimes be hectic or the unexpected happens and you just can't get home on time to feed and water your pets on schedule. For times like this, the Van Ness Gravity Auto Feeders and Waterers provides a stress-free solution, ensuring your pets have fresh water and food when they need it. The Small Size Auto Feeder holds 3 pounds of kibble and uses gravity to continuously dispense food to your beloved pet. The Auto-Feeder fills easily from a hinged top-open lid. The Feeder is proudly made in the USA from USFDA approved plastic that is BPA-free and food safe. The smokey finish allows you to see when it's time to refill, and the sides of the feeder have built in hand-grips so you can easily pick up the dish. The feeder is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Gravity feeders are recommended for pets who know how to pace out meals. If your pet has difficulty with overeating, just load the recommended amount of daily kibble before you head out for the day. Van Ness offers both smaller and larger sized auto-feeders and waterers so you can choose the best size to meet your pets needs. The Small 3 lb Auto-Feeder measures 11.5" deep x 6 7/8" wide x 8.5" high.

This was a fantastic backup feeder! Easy to load, steep enough the food comes down, and the cats ate plenty (too much) food from it.
We have a more expensive and more stable feeder as our main feeder. The one we own upstairs is stable enough a cat could stand on top of it and not knock it down. This listing is not that level of stability, nor did I expect it to be for the price.
This is a great buy, however, if you're looking for something long term it depends on what kind of pet you have. An animal could easily knock this down or lift the lid if they wanted to do so. Some animals are that obnox- determined, and some aren't .
Glad to have this to keep the kittens happy.
It’s small, holds plenty of food for our little guy, food doesn’t get stuck, inexpensive, easy to fill, no plugs or batteries or moving parts. Just works.

I purchased this for when I was going to be out of town for two days and wanted to ensure the cats would have enough dry food. The kibble is on the smaller side and poses some problems with the feeder's ability to maintain the food bowls level. A good amount of kibble will slide over the sides when it comes from the storage bin. It also does not do well at keeping the bowl actually full, but only fills slightly outside of the dispenser which makes it difficult for the cats to get. I think most of these issues of this would be reminded by larger kibble.
Pros:
-Cheap
-Good storage capacity
-Dishwasher safe (haven't tried this yet though)
Cons:
-Doesn't dispense that well
-Flimsy
-Slightly messy
Overall, I would recommend this to people looking to use this as an option while they will be out of town for a short period of time as it does work, albeit not perfectly. But, the price is super cheap and your small fuzzball will stay fed.

No entanto, uma ressalva: a tampa do reservatório de ração é bem leve - recomendo fechar com uma fita adesiva para evitar que o animal derrube o conteúdo.
2. A abertura de derrame da ração é enorme. Reduzi o tamanho con um pedaço de pote de requeijão. Ficou ótimo. (fotos).
3. Aceitação pelos gatinhos. Imediata para um deles, outros ainda estão curiosos. Acredito que todos vão usar a partir de hoje, pois vou retirar as tijelinhas de ração nos intervalos entre refeições (tentando estimular a busca pelo comedouro). Quando tiver mais informações, volto para editar a avaliação.
De maneira geral, recomendo o produto.
