I had earlier used Penn-Plax fish feeder but that lasted only 1 month. It just stopped working for no reason. I like this product very much. Unlike many other reviewers, I did not find it difficult to follow the instructions to operate this automatic fish feeder. You may find it difficult, if you like to set it by yourself without reading the instructions stepwise. You can even keep 1-2 xerox copies of the instructions, if you have the habit of misplacing user manuals. This fish feeder allows to set 1-4 times food for fishes. There is 'single feeding' and 'double feeding' options which could be helpful if you have many (my guess, 20+) fishes in your aquarium. I'm now tension-free about feeding my two lovely goldfishes when going out on vacation or night outs! Recommended for all the fish tank or aquarium owners.

Pros: I left for the entire summer for my job and haven't been home to feed the fish although a friend is changing the water that is by no means a daily thing. I didnt even bother using the batteries it came with as I never trust the batteries I get with items as they are often dead or near dead. Just put a new set of batteries in and your ready to go. The programming is easy and required little to no work. The instructions help but if you've ever programmed a digital watch its about the same level of complexity. I highly recommend this item. Pellets/small flakes are the way to go and a mix could work as well. Cons: Mount is not very good but easily modified to fit and aquarium. It is easily reversible as well.
