I bought this a couple of years ago for the rare occasions that I need to be out of town. I used it for 3 small trips (maybe 12 days total) and it was fine. I have stored it in a plastic tote to protect it when not in use. I am traveling next week so I took it out to test it and set it up. The motor doesn't work! There is no movement or sound at all! This is a very expensive product for such poor quality. A complete waste of my money - and now I don't have the feeder I need. Very disappointed.
