"It was a little tricky to program the voice recording but I figured it out."

"Bought in 2021, now gives me EEEE in 2025. Do not buy this feeder. It’s designed to break after a while so you have to buy a new one (that’s everything these days unfortunately)"

If you're looking for a convenient feeder, this might work for a short period, but expect issues with durability and reliability. Consider a more reliable brand for long-term use.
