We have used it for 3 months and not needed new batteries; one daily setting gives her 5 little meals per day.

You set the timer for up to 3 times a day and set the amount of food to be dispensed. This will automatically dispense the amount you set at a certain time every day. Batteries last months. Hope this helps.

it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing. Be forewarned this item is very noisy when it runs. Also make sure you use premium alkaline batteries. It is very flexible in it's programming you can set it to feed A large amount in the morning or a small amount in the middle of the day and a large amount at night or any combination thereof. Personally I will give this unit three out of four stars. Only two things I wish it had A quieter mechanism and a AC power adapter using the batteries as a backup. it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing.

Once you set up the time of day it goes forever or at least until you run out of food (ours last about 2 months with our cat).

Until the batteries run down. We have the feeder go off three times a day...we do not set the total days.

this device can hold large amounts of food, it will last amount of time and then some.

It's my understanding that it can distribute 7 times a day. My mother only needs it one time a day. My brother is actually the one who fills it but it is good for I believe, 28 days. He says it works great.

You can program for a total of 3 feedings a day only. I believe you could program the feedings close together but then there would be no more food for the rest of the day.

Like 1 or 2 days and then you will have to reprogram it. It doesn't work ever and I've exchanged twice. It's pretty much a pet food storage for me and then I just scoop food from the top into the dish. Don't waste the $.

Debora; It depends on the consistency. If the food is too dry, and you force it, it will not work and you will crack the appliance. Use common scene here. As long as you don't force it you should get good service no matter what you send through it. I hope this helps. M. Field. Michigan.

I believe you can program it to feed 3 times a day. We have it set for twice a day. You only have I program it once unless you want to change it. It may have to be programmed again when the batteries die. I don't know about that yet.

Normal delivery is 10-14 days, so could arrange for delivery during that time. Someone does need to sign for it.

I am fairly certain this feeder will dispense a very small amount if needed. There is an adjustable timer on the unit for how long the rollers turn dispensing the food. Also , a roller gap control to adjust for food size. Ours in hooked to a digital timer as well, set to dispense twice per day. The digital timer could be set for every hour if you wanted.

from what I remember not randomly. You can set it up for 15-30 min on specific days.

I suppose it depends on the device settings you give it but I have set mine for 3 decent feedings a day and left it for 5 days, when I returned it still had plenty to spare.

Yes, fairly easily. You can have it set on a daily basis, just for one day, or different odd days. You have to read the manual a little but it's not hard.

There is a setting for determining how much food is dispensed. It goes in 1/2 cup increments. You can set meals to be delivered up to 3 times a day. You can select when the food is dispense and how much for each of the 3 times of day. Be prepared to get the electrical converter. Batteries do not last long.

I think anything that could handle 12 hours in a crock pot would be fine in this as well. There is no timer that would allow you to start the crock later (e.g., if you wanted to use a delayed start to cook something only for 6 hours). The 3 crocks are controlled individually, so you can use 1, 2, or all 3 depending on how many dishes you are cooking. Some foods might turn to mush in 12 hours though; you'd just have to pick your recipes carefully to ensure things can hold up to a 12-hour shift.

Fourteen. Each box has seven items in it (a week's worth of that particular item). You are supposed to eat five items a day. Ten boxes would provide you two weeks of meals.

Yes. You can set it for one day, Just week days, just weekends, 7 days a week etc. There are lots of options. You can download the instructions from our website: https://hydro-gardens.com/product/programmable-digital-timer-6w190/. G Morton

The next to last sentence in description reads: "Please allow three days for the packet to work in your container."

No. You can set it for frequency of 1-7 days. So you could set it to run every 3 or 4 days to meet your scenario. Hope that helps.
