The solution: An automatic feeder of in between the living opener replaced.
As always sought in Amazon, found this specimen, ordered for the cheap price, get item 3 days later.
The First Impression:
The machine arrived complete and without damaged and missing parts.
Sorry, no batteries were included. Sure, that was already in the description and also on the package but it would have been nice if that had been there. 2 Small cooling pillows were included, they fit exactly under the machine. Whether it remains to be seen what really bring when they are needed by the summer.
Even otherwise, the machine does not necessarily make a high-quality impression, but the same can not be expected for the price of 16.90 EUR as well.
The food trays can be removed individually and can be easily cleaned. However, I find that very quickly dries out wet food in the vending machine. Not sure if that is the material I is the only noticed because my king normally eats glass bowl and this is not the case here.
To open the machine has to be the "clock" turn to zero. Exactly at this point the lid then jumps up. The clock represents so to say a timer, the up to max. Can set 48 hours. So right on time the machine is however not;) To my cat to present this new thing I have put 3 treats in a bowl and the machine is set to 1 hour. Although the cat has approximately 20 minutes given to observe the machine, but I've persevered and kept under review. Conclusion:. With half an hour late (after 1.5 hours) he then (quite rudely) opened. The cover snaps on with real power and then bangs against the wall (if it is too close to the wall).
In addition to the "opening bang" of the machine is relatively quiet. He sounds like an egg timer.
Normally you do not hear the ticking yes, for why one uses a Feeder if you yourself at home? ;)
My cat had to eat from the very beginning no problem from it.
All in all it served its purpose and I can stay a little longer at the weekend;)
Also I'm going to then have to have a bad conscience more, if we are even a whole day off in the summer.
Until now, the neighbor had to always come to feed 2 times because I wanted to reluctantly leave a large portion of food in the warm apartment (smells anyway not so pleasant and I would not want smelly food).
Conclusion:
For the price you get nothing better. The price I think is really cheap and you should remember that you get what you need here that: a simple automatic feeder. Without technical bells and whistles, no beautiful decorative machine or similar
Who does not want to spend much money and still looking for a reliable, uncomplicated alternative to neighbor is well served here.
