Highlighted Reviews
"Exactly what we needed for our 3 kitties. Arm & Hammer kept it simple and inexpensive. Works perfectly as physics intended, and the cats took to it immediately. When it gets to the very bottom of the supply, food will get stuck until you add more to the container. Highly recommend."
"Even with small size round cat kibble, this does not automatically fill. I even propped up the back to angle it, and it still doesn't fill when the bowl is empty. And since the container just sets on, if you shake it you risk tipping the container and spilling all of the food."
Bottom Line
Due to its frequent malfunction and the need for frequent intervention, it is better avoiding this product.
