Hi all! Does the food get stuck in the chute (once everything in the tray is eaten) and need to be adjusted by hand to come out?

The Little Giant has NEVER given me any problems of any kind.... food has never gotten stuck, it never created a mess...you just pour it in, and as the animal(s) eat the food, gravity takes over & the food continues to fall down to where the animals can get to it.... When you clean it(I cleaned mine once a week), just hose it down with a garden hose, & let it dry in the sun.

Somewhat. They typically can get it on their own by digging or sticking their faces into it enough. I generally just push it down when I'm adding more feed.

I was confused, too, Misha. I finally realized that the small cylinder at the top that has the ring in it unscrews. It was attached tightly but, with a little effort, it will turn. That cylinder detaches completely and the top can then just be lifted off. I hope you haven't thrown the feeder in front a train like I felt like doing at first. By the way, finches love it. When it is full, they cover the outside of it.

It slides out when the tray is in the lower position, like in the picture. The manufacturer recommends using the top position when cooking pizza, however, and at that setting, the tray does not slide out.

The worst I had to do was pop the tray back on. They came neatly folded in a box, all I had to was unfold them. One's tray had come loose, but it was super easy to find the holes to pop it back in place.

You slide the baby into the seat. The main tray does come off, and the snack tray underneath is much smaller and also sits far enough from the seat that you hardly notice its there. My little guy loves when i take the tray off to clean it, he puts his little feet on the snack tray like its an Ottoman.

They can stick their paws up the shoot, but it is sealed. The food delivery system is a round cylinder open on one side that scoops the food and then dumps while it is rotating. (if that makes sense). I also have a cat that is a 100% foodie. He has clawed the sides of the hopper until it is all scratched, he has scooted the entire feeder around on the carpet it sits on (it is heavy with the food in it) it has never tipped over and the top has stayed on. I am impressed that he can't get into it because I had my doubts.

No, I set the belly bar aside and only use the snack tray. My daughter does often pop the clear part out with her knees, though, just a heads-up about that!

Insert it from left to right, carefully fitting it in the groove from the side. It will get easier with subsequent removals. It's an EXCELLENT rotisserie!

Yes. You push the tray and it pops out. Easy to remove, clean and re-install.

I opened the top, turned it over and it fell out. I bought a second feeder . . . and had no issues with the manual staying inside on either one.

I always place the poached tray on the plastic tray, because it shouldn't be directly in the water. Hope this helps. Misty

according to instructions for ny z235, the discharge chute is left on which helps hold in place. i didn't like the chute sticking way out as it does. the chute asembly has two pieces to it. i took the big plastic part of the chute off and just used the smaller piece and it worked just fine. you do need to disassemble the chute to remove the larger part and then put the springs and pin back in.

The tray came attached. There are screws along the back of it holding it on. I suppose you could remove those screws and remove the tray. I want mine on, so I don't want to try.

Practice, practice, practice! It can be done. I carry the filled bowl of water and the bottom piece out to where I hang the water feeder...place the bowl between my feet and screw on the bottom being careful to it it in the tracks and now over screwing it. I then grasp the bowl...flip it over never touching the bottom piece...with my hand on the underside of the bottom piece I then lift it up to the hanger. Believe me I have dumped it several times soaking my clothes and shoes. I think the trick is not to put any pressure on those "screw" groves in the flipping the feeder over. Don't give up!

From my experience of puréed fruits, you have to let it sit out on the counter for a few minutes then with either a clean thumb or a handle of a spoon or knife push on one end and the food pops out 9 our of 10 times easily. I've never had anything get that stuck on these trays

For my 16 lb 8 month old we don't have to completely remove the tray, just pull it back a bit, slide them in and push the tray tight. I had to learn to make sure their knees weren't up even a lil bit or the tray would bump themail because it's rather thick, which isn't a problem in anyway, just something we found.

You should have a steady hand. If you leave the feed dogs up then you running the risk of the bottom puckering. Use pins or adhesive to hold your sandwich together and make sure when you need to turn or stop put your needle in the down position so it does not move.
