text: I had a feeder previous that held 20 lb. I left it when I moved cross country. This feeder is smaller (that's fine), but the gravity feed part is not what it ought to be. The food doesn't slide down into the bowl/dish from the larger container. My previous one did. This is annoying, and belies the point of the thing. It's convenient to not have to fill the bowl daily, but I'm sad that it doesn't do the one thing that it claims to do - gravity feed.
