What is the largest amount of food it will dispense each feeding?

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.

The feeder will dispense up to two cups per meal. I have mine set at 1/4 cup per meal and it spits out closer to 1/3 cup. You do have to make sure the dispensing are is kept cleared or it will stop working and flash an error message. All in all I think its a great unit.

I am not exactly sure of the official "size limit," but I know that this unit jammed OFTEN with the dry food I was using. So, I would say the smaller the dry food the better! The larger pieces get jammed in the turning mechanism and then the machine simply stops dispensing food. Overall, I did not find this to be a great unit and ended up returning it.

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

Yes, you can adjust the amount of food you dispense. I like this one as it holds more food and easy to load the food.

I'm not sure but I have it dispensing about 1/8 of a cup 4 times per day and that is working just fine. I also have this plastic ball that has holes in in that i will put a tablespoon of dry food in it and he pushes it around with his nose and eats what comes out, this i do 2x per day and I also supplement his food with half a 3oz. can of food at dinner time. He does seem to be losing weight now or at least it seems like he has!

The feeder holds 3 quarts of food and I fill it once a week. I have set it so that large birds like starlings cannot feed from the feeder. Not sure on cost I have never calculated that but knowing it is 3 quarts to fill should help you estimate that answer.

Unfortunately, no. It's 1/4 no matter what. We started giving our cat some wet food everyday (1/4 can) because he expends more energy than what he was getting from the feeder. Otherwise, it's still a great feeder- ours is still doing great, even though our car puts his paw in the food chute to coax out a couple kibbles at a time.

Total food quantity would be 3 cups with all tubes in and filled to the top, which we do not recommend. Thanks, Alexandre Tremblay AiKiou Company

I believe so. I just used it for two weeks and still had more than half the food left. It would depend, of course, on how much you feed and how often. I fed the most that can be fed, once per day. The amount of food can be adjusted and you can feed up to four times a day.

It is adjustable as to how much it feeds daily each time. So the answer would be how much you feed your pet a day. My problem was it was not reliable, so if you are counting on this feeding your pets be sure you or someone is around to make sure they are being fed daily. Neither one of mine were reliable. I honestly would not feel comfortable relying on this to feed my pets. One I don't use at all anymore and the other one my husband took apart and turned it into a free feeder works with just gravity flow and maybe a shake now and then.

On the food container there is no cap on the bottom - the food in the tray blocks the opening keeping it from all falling out at once. As your pet feeds the tray will keep refilling as food falls out of the container. Adding food from the top is best as you won't have to fight with trying to secure it to the base one you have filled the dispenser.

Yes, that is correct. You can input up to three feedings per day, and designate the time the food drops to the minute.

Hi Stacy, yes, it can dispense up to three times per day and feeds daily. It just seems to be flimsy (especially the plastic container) and easily knocked over and opened by larger dog...good luck, Julie

You can turn the screw that controls the length of time of the food delivery to any setting you want. If it dispenses too little for per feeding, just adjust to a longer time. Too much food comes out? Make the delivery time shorter. Any amount you desire is possible but the amount would be the same per feeding (unless you access the special setting available on the digital timer that allows different amounts of food delivery at the different times).

It can dispense different amounts based on the duration of the cycle you set the timer for. For example, my dog has 2 half cup meals and 1 quarter cup meal per day. Based on 1) the kibble size and 2) the opening width I set for the rollers that dispense the food, an 18 second cycle produces a half cup and a 9 second cycle produces a quarter cup. I hope that made sense.

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

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.
