This review is extremely late as I thought I was locked out of this, but the thing is still sitting there unused. It was way too complicated for me to figure out how to schedule the dispensing times. Someone who is great with technology probably wouldn’t have an issue. I just am not great in that area. My biggest issue though was when it did dispense the food stayed to one side of the bowl and piled up and went over the sides and on to the floor. It’s definitely not something I would pay a lot for . I can see it being convenient for someone who isn’t home if they don’t mind cleaning up the mess. I’m sure if I played with it I could figure something out. Probably get a different deeper bowl if it will fit and try that. D
