A week-long business trip or tropical vacation doesn't mean you have to hire an expensive pet sitter for your cat or take him to the kennel. This six-day automatic pet dish ensures that your favorite feline will be given six meals while you're gone and will enjoy staying home alone. Each of the dish's six food compartments holds 2/3 cup of dry food or 5-1/2 ounces of wet food. You can select feeding intervals of 6, 12, or 24 hours and the dish will accurately open to a new food-filled compartment within 15 seconds of the time you have programmed. As a safety precaution, the lid won't rotate if it meets some resistance. The removable lid and inserts are made of durable ABS plastic so they're easy to clean. This automatic pet dish operates on one 9-volt battery (not included) and is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Works great for a food focused cat! November 19, 2009
S. Thompson
I bought this to feed my cat while I go away for the weekend, but in trying it out I found that it is quite helpful for everyday use for an overweight food-focused cat who doesn't like to be on a diet and constantly begs for food. Since I started using this, instead of meowing at me constantly for food, she now sits by the feeder waiting for it to open. Some little annoyances: 1. It doesn't have a clock on it, so you need to turn it on at the same time that you want it to open each time (for example, if you want to feed at 7am and 7pm, you need to turn it on at 7). 2. It is kind of difficult to open and refill since you have to line it up just right to close it. 3. If you hit the "manual rotate" button, it will not then automatically rotate at the set interval unless you turn it off and on again to reset it, so it would be easy to assume your pet has been fed, and later find out it has not. 4. It seems rather flimsy, and although my cat hasn't figured it out yet, I'm sure it could be broken into rather easily, especially by a large dog. I think it would work much better for a cat than a dog. 5. Although it has 6 slots for food, one of them is always open, so technically it really will only provide 5 feedings after you set it. Despite these annoyances, it is a good value for the price. Works great for my cat.
 Functional, reliable yet room for improvement November 18, 2009
M. Wyse (Chicago, IL USA)
I've been using this dish for a few weeks to feed my cat. I chose this design because the size of the food pellets doesn't matter like it seems to for other feeders. It's set for a twice a day feeding every 12 hours and the cat no longer wakes me up in the morning because she's hungry. That's why I bought it and it is wonderful!
What I didn't think about when I purchased this product is that the cat's dishes are in a corner of the kitchen. I have to physically rotate the feeder each day so she can reach the food. If I don't rotate it, she would have to stand on it to get to the food as the cover rotates every 12 hours so more often than not, it's unreachable.
Also, I find it a bit difficult to fill. You have to remove the center piece which requires some effort and prying. Also, it doesn't tell you when its on the late "turn" before it has to be filled again. I have a busy schedule and sometimes don't remember what date I last filled it and when I need to plan to fill it again. It would be great if the cover was clear so I could easily keep track of when to refill.
I'm happy I purchased it as it allows me to sleep past 4:00 AM, the time my cat used to stand on me each morning waiting for food.
Lentek Automatic feeder November 11, 2009
Shirley C. Carter (Thomasville Ga.)
The Lentek Automatic Feeder arrived in a timely manner. I was a little skeptical as to whether my Siamese cat, Lily, would accept it.
She would wake me up very early every morning to be fed is the reason I got it.
The humming the unit makes when it is in cycle scared her but she finally got use to it. She was more hungry than scared.
It works great. I only wish it would feed 3 times a day. She doesn't need food in the middle of the night but she does like a snack in the afternoon.
All in all it is a very good product.
 Lentek 6-day auto ped dish November 11, 2009
A. D' Erizet
This product has saved us from going crazy. Our cats were waking us up at 4:00 in the morning every day. The feeder works like a charm. The only drawback is that if the cats need to be feed at certain hours, the timer has to be started accordingly. Also, one of my cats turned out to be a little smarter than we thought and he figured out a way to remove the top off. Thanks to one of the reviewers of the product we were able to find a solution to this problem. There are some holes on the bottom of timer and on the bottom tray that match. You simply have to place two 12mm screws through the holes and secure the ends with nuts. The only bad thing about this is when you have to change the battery, you have to remove the screws first to do so.
I think they have QA/QC issues, mine is great November 6, 2009
B. Niemeyer (Earth)
Here are some 'cons' in the top handful of reviews.
'It only has six trays so one is wasted'--not if you fill it at feeding time.
'My cats can get into it'--I think those are lemons. I've gotten callouses from popping mine open because it's so tight.
'The ice packs don't work for wet food in the last 1 or 2 trays'--If you put an ice cube on a counter does it last a week? Hint--if it did it wouldn't keep anything cold.
I think this thing is great. I've used two other automatic feeders and was extremely disappointed with both, so I thought I'd give this one a shot before dropping close to a hundred on another, and I'm glad I did. It's makes enough noise to work like a dinner bell to my cat, and so that I know the battery doesn't need to be replaced, but not so much that it's annoying. The fixed intervals aren't quite as good as a programmable electronic timer because you're limited to 1,2 or 4 feedings per day, but that's much better than mechanical timers which make you guesstimate feeding times, which can lead to an anxious pet. I had another feeder which had a lid that attached in such a way that my cat would beat like a drum if it didn't go off when I wanted, which isn't a problem with this. The only drawback is that it uses 9 volt batteries which are relatively expensive and don't last very long, but since this costs half what the other cost, I bought rechargeables and a charger with the savings. I couldn't be happier.
