Motorized Bill Feeder I was wondering if anybody else had problems with the motorized bill feeder. I love this product, but the motorized bill feeder doesn't take my money, even when the bill is perfectly new and not crumpled up. It gets to the point that I just stuff the bill in and not even half of the bill makes it into the machine. Anybody else have similar problems?

I have the same problem and haven't figure out what is wrong with it yet....

I have had the same problem with the motor that turns the rollers to accept the bill. My son rarely used the ATM so I think its poor quality. Does anyone know a store that still sells these? I want to go purchase another one and save the box and receipt to return the broken one

Not that I have experienced. Money is tricky because it wants to stick so I put it between my license and credit card so it's 2 cards and cash. Otherwise it's hard to get out because it sticks with the case. I've had the case a while now and so far it's still holding up well and the cards are still staying safe. And I've only ever used 3 cards max to avoid overloading it to where it would cause them to fall out easier.

I'm so sorry for the delay, been having computer problems! I don't see why that wouldn't work as long as you can make it stick to the bowl? Let me know how it works. Thank You, Jenni L. P.S. I haven't had a problem with Amazon and my debit card. Been ordering over a year.

It happened to me too. Just call them and they will send you another one with handling fees. Maybe they just start this as life long business to secure their income. The machine is not long lasting, but as long as you paid the handling fees, they will send you another one. What a waste on the raw materials!!!

I can't help, I can only commiserate because this was a terrible design and one they quickly removed from their production of these machines but we owners are still stuck with a machine that is practically unusable. We need a class-action lawsuit. I have tried every way possible to bypass that cassette. Nothing works. Some cassettes work better than others. Some thread 'weights' (thicknesses or brands) work better than others. Make sure you absolutely have the threading correct. The instruction manual shows it threaded differently than the decal on the cassette itself. Good luck.

I have the same problem and wondered if some were worse than others .. I have searched on-line with no luck and the best I can suggest is try not putting the card in all the way so you have more card to pull on .. I snap and unsnap the end of the adapter to save the card and this has worked so far .. Please let me know if you find out anything !!

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?

Hi, I personally do not like this stamper. The top keeps falling out. I have tried using it. I can't get used to the stickeness of it. I have read there is away to keep the stopper in. I have to work with it. I so far have not really used it. I use my old ones. I will work with it eventually. This is my opinion of it. Maggie V.

Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums. I own this and during use it picks up my cat food but when you turn it off, the food bits just fall right out, meaning it lacks adequate suction to fully draw into the collection chamber. I ended up just buying another "corded" vac for real usage and use this weak vac for dirty simple jobs, like my car. But, before I shutoff after using it "everytime", I hang it over a garbage can to let out whatever doesn't get sucked up, its pretty ridiculous. Hope this helps Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums.

I have had nothing but problems with the "Large Auto Pet Feeder..." and am very sorry I bought it (see my review for my reasons). I had previously bought the LeBistro and had no issues with it. I had decided not to buy it because there were so many complaints that it had a short life (minw lasted 3 years). I regret that decision. People complain that the cats "defeat" the LeBistro, but the fact of the matter is that the next feed portion is already measured, so the cats are only getting their next feed a little early - there is no way for them the empty the hopper. I will be buying the LeBistro myself next time. Hope this helps. I have had nothing but problems with the "Large Auto Pet Feeder..." and am very sorry I bought it (see my review for my reasons).

With one I just bought used through Amazon I haven't had a problem, but my last one I had a big problem with paper feed. I had over $100 in ink cartridges so I purchased a used one and it seems to work great. But I also use the best paper. It's thicker.

Im having the same problem and according to the reviews on this site...We are not alone. Ive tried saturating the heck out of um .. to a fine mist and no mater what they just dont seem to stick very well. Looks to me like it needs more work. There was some mention about placing it under a book to flatten the design? I dont know... to be honest the instructions that came with this thing, In my opinion were very lacking. If my 6 yr old son didnt just "HAVE TO HAVE IT!" I wouldnt have gone with this toy and I wont be recommending it to anyone else.

I think this happens when a piece of kibble jams the dispenser. The motor is pretty weak, so it can jam easily and cause the Err. The only solution I found was to remove the batteries to reset the unit. Sometimes you need to clear the jamming kibble too. I've had three of these units and they have all eventually started giving this error message. One of the units stayed doing it after only a few weeks. After fighting with these unreliable feeders for several years, I finally spent the money for a better unit.. The one with the external timer and large diamond hopper on top. These units just don't work very well or last.

It doesn't work well at all, but it's because the machine is really not meant for hats. But you don't need another piece. Hats with bills are almost impossible to do. There is nothing wrong with the construction or quality of the piece the problems are inherent in the machine and it's set up.

Must be the Quality of your paper, I have not had any issues with the paper feeder. Make sure your paper is aligned properly in the paper tray and the Green knob tightly secures the paper rack.

Ok, I'm really bewildered here. Y'all are saying the newer models have a flap to prevent this. But mine is only about a month old, and it doesn't have this flap. It would be great if it did - one of my cats can get food all day/night, and it's not helping with the portion control idea. She's just eating all the time. I'm trying to think of a makeshift way of adding my own, but why is it that some of you have one actually included on yours?

I had that problem with one of our first scales. I called service had to eave a message. They called me back several times but we kept missing each other. In the mean time we stopped storing the scale on its side and the scales stopped displaying the error message. I have not had this probelm with the other 11 we have purchased. I hope that helps. If not call service, they are helpful.
