Are you able to program different amounts into the feeder (like 1/3 of a cup) or is it only in 1/4 cup increments?

The size of the rotating cylinder is one quarter cup. No adjustment. However, you can program up to four revolutions of th cylinder four up to 4 times in a 24 hour period. So, you can program as little as one quarter cup up to 4 cups per day. Hope this helps.

It doesn't allow 1/3. I have it feed 3times aday of 1/4. U can do it to 1/4, 2/4, 1/2 & another one I can't remember.

The lowest amout is1/4 cup and the increments go up to I think 2 1/2 cups and everything in betweenHope this answers your question, I use it for my bunny. One big thing is, If your feeder is on rug, it doesn't work. It has to be set on something flat like tile or abook or piece of wood or it doesn't work that well, it took me a while to figure that out. Now it works every morning at 8am and drops 1/4 cup right on time. I hope this works for you

With small morsels, the 1/4 cup setting delivers 1/2 cup, so the minimum feeding is 1/2 cup. the next size up is called "1/2" cup which actually delivers 1 full cup. Our morsels are about the size of a Pea, we have not tested larger morsels. This feeder cannot deliver the 3/4 cup that we oped for ( 3 feedings of 1/4 cup). If you have a single cat this may not be the best feeder.

Yes. You can program up to 4 different times per day & set how long to run. Very easy to use.

I use my feeder with a digital timer. I can control the "time" the feeder dispenses food and the amount. I can set the timer to dispense a snack at 9:00 am for 3 seconds for a snack size portion and at say 3:00 p.m. for 10 seconds or more for a normal feeding amount. The digital timer is capable of 8 programmable feeding times and amounts.

You can set it I believe to 30 minute increments. It is definitely not restricted to 4 choices. We love it! Use it 3-4 times per week.

No, unless you jimmy rig something on the inside (and 1/4 cup is not accurate at all, it's more like 2/3 cup). I really wouldn't use this except for when you're leaving cats at home for a few days and program it to feed two times a day (otherwise you'll overfeed your cat). I think the feeding proportions are much better for a big dog.

you bet. you can program just about any thing you want. the "dish" functions are on the SAT button, but the others can be programmed as desired

You have to reprogram after it dispenses food 4 times. If you only programmed for one big meal a day, you'd reprogram it every 5th day. But you might program it to go off more than once per day, so how often would depend on your needs.

This feeder will feed up to 3x a day and once or twice per feeding. Fully programmable and digital.

U have to reprogram it every day. U would be better off getting the automatic feeder that has 5 separate bowls. It runs on 4 D batteries n u set the timers digitally. Then all u need to do is fill them. It's more expensive but worth it. I have 3 feeders at my house. Love it!

You can program the feeder to deliver a small amount. But the more important question is: Will you fish food fit and be delivered? I used flake food and pellets, but the unit kept getting clogged. I don't recommend this.

Yes, you can program it to go on and off several times a day if you like. I use it in larger increments twice a day; but it does allow you to program it in 15 minute increments.

You can control how much coffee and water you add. It makes approximately 3 8 Oz cups when full. It can certainly be used for a single cup.

No. I think 1/4 is the least. But it does not even come out like that; it comes out in at least 2 cup portions no matter what you have the setting on.

I believe it's one cup...have mine set on 1/4 cup twice a day. You can also set it up for three feedings a day.

I've been using this feeder for a week now. Good thing is that it dispenses the food. Bad thing is that it dispenses TOO MUCH! The description says, it can dispense from 1/4 - 3 cups. "1/4" is not an option on the feeder. Should I return or did I not set it correctly??

I am able to program each zone independently. i have some zones running three days a week and others on 2 days a week. albeit, only one zone can be watered at a time, so stagger your time allotments accordingly.

The feeder has a capacity of 80 gr in each chamber and can adjust the amount of food delivered and can be programmed to operate up to three times per day, therefore, the number of days it works is based on the programming used, because while you have the batteries charged, will continue to function, but maybe the food is finished
