Pet Training Tips
Some pets may require a special adjustment period to acclimate to their new automatic feeder. If this is your dog or cat, try:
1) Place the Programmable Lebistro Food Dispenser next to your pet's existing bowl or feeder. (Do not turn the power on).
2) Place food in the bowl of the Programmable Lebistro Food Dispenser (only for a period of time to allow adjustment).
3) Keep food in the pet's current bowl (only for a period of time to allow adjustment).
4) Once you have observed your pet eating from the Programmable Lebistro Food Dispenser, remove their old feeding dish.
Note: Adjustment time for the pet could be as short as a day or as long as a few weeks, depending on your pet's personality. You can also introduce your pet to the Programmable Lebistro Food Dispenser by placing small treats in the bowl.

I bought 2 (one for each cat), and they have seriously made a positive difference in my life. I can leave on week-ends without worry, or having to ask someone to check up on them for me. U
nfortunately, the dispenser does not always do its job. What I mean is that the machine makes sounds, but no food comes out! I have two, so if one doesn't go off, the worst case scenario is my cats will share that one portion, but atleast I know they will eat. It's not a huge deal, and this doesn't happen all the time, just once every so often, but I feel I have to warn future buyers still the same. Other than that, no problems, super convenient and easy to use and clean.
My two guys are brothers and they're used to eating beside each other, but if one moves in on the others food there's some growling, but I've monitored them eating and they both get their fill without sacrifice, but this is probably just my unique situation (thank goodness). The unit is quite large and is a little bit of an eyesore in the kitchen but I'm hoping to remodel it into a cabinet. Fashion two shoots that divide up the boys food into two separate bowls. When they hear it go off, they run over just to check it out, sometimes eat, but sometimes just check it out. It's really just there to give them small interim meals. The dish moves around, and I really wish it just locked in. If my cats bump it or twist it it can sometimes cause it to jam, or release food behind the dish. I just wish it was more secure, but again if I fashion it to fit in a cabinet with shoots into two bowls then I'll get over it. I also like the large one because it fits a medium bag of kibble with a little room at the top to spare. So I can just dump the bag in and not have to store it elsewhere.
Overall happy and pleased with it, haven't had any issues with the guys trying to get extra food out of it, but again, it's only used for their lunch and after dinner snack. Plus I've started them young with it and portion control, so it's not like I'm using it on a fat kitty trying to get the weight off, and having a desperate cat clawing into it for food. Time will tell though.
Because my cats can dig out the upcoming portion, I have to set the portions to larger volumes. I could set it to the lowest amount, but this will 100% of the time result in them trying to dig the rest of it out of the hopper. At least if I set it for higher volumes, they might leave it alone as they are full. However I feel like this will ultimately result in larger cats.
Anyways, it's currently held onto the wall with a bungee cord running through two hooks. That seems to have stabilized things. Even one hook saw it fly off the counter twice. Two hooks is the answer. The bungee cord slips over the dish and into the space where the dish attaches, kind of locking it in place. It's not pretty, but I refuse to give up after paying $80 for this thing.
Despite the bungee cord hack, I expect that this will meet it's demise sooner than later. At that time, I hope to find a replacement without these issues. I'll also look for something that does more than just three feedings a day. With three cats that have different eating habits, I was hoping to be able to feed smaller portions more often. I missed the note about only three feedings. But my mistake does not give this any extra stars.

La calidad es bastante decente aunque usa pilas.
Lo uso para mi gata y le programo varias comidas al día, de distintas porciones.
A veces saca más comida de la que programé pero nada grave. Es bastante fácil de programar y le caben 2 kilos de comida lo cual para un gato es suficiente como para un mes. Un mes sin preocuparme por la comida.
Creo que si fuese un perreo grande, por el poco peso que tiene el material el perro podría voltear el dispensador.
En fin, muy recomendado.
Once I opened it up I realized it was battery operated which I think is a plus because I can place it anywhere in the house. I powered it up, set up the test times. It worked fine, I made minor adjustments for amount dispensed for the cats. (I have 2) It ran for two weeks before I left. It has worked very well for the past 5 weeks including while I was on vacation, although I had friends stop by to check on them just in case.
I love this product because I program it for 3 meals a day (before I couldn't feed them in the middle of day because of work) which I think is much healthier for them. It took them some time to realize I did not have to be in the room for them to fed. Now it is hilarious to watch one of them bound through the house when the food dispenses to the bowl. I bought a second feeder because one of my cats was being forced to wait for the other when the food dispensed. So with separate bowls they can eat at the same time. After the road testing of the first one I felt comfortable enough to buy the second one.
I have read a lot of reviews on this product and often the little motor or pieces fail or the programing. From experience I will say these failures are most likely a result of workmanship from countries like China. For anyone experiencing these issues it is really important you contact the company to let them know. Just recently I had a problem with a Wii remote, based on many other tidbits of information I realized the failure was the supplier in China and it had been massive in recalls for the company, it wasn't the company's quality of product but the suppliers manufacturing to the specifications the company required that was lacking. But the companies have to know when the supplier is failing them so they can determine when the cost savings of doing business there is eliminated by the expenses from flaws. Don't just give up if you have a problem with your product contact the manufacturer with your experience directly and include specific information on your product so they can trace the lots and address the situation.
I am still using these pet feeders and they have made an international relocation with me. They are going strong and working perfectly after 5 years use. I have bought some other models for temporary use and they have all failed miserably. Hands down this item is completely worth the cost and will provide an acceptable return on investment of you buy it.
Updated July 2016
I just wanted to provide an update that these feeders are still going strong after almost 6 years of use. I have had no problems and I am very happy with it. I upgraded my rating to a 5. I also purchased the newer model while I was in the US in May and carried it back with me. It works very well, it is a more streamlined version of the originals that I bought. I think this is the best automated feeder product line available.
