The food does not freely feed from the opening.
The cat only had what is in the tray and then I have to physically have to work more thru the opening
So although there is ample room for food,  still only a small amount available

The food dispensing mouth is way too big, put out too much food.  My dog overeats, we have gone back to the single serving bowl.

It's hard for my 8 year old to open for lunch due to the suction. I send a butter knife with her to pry it open.

The cat food is fine but there are always cans whose sides are caved in. Looks like stuff you would find in a store selling dented and damaged can goods.  I've had pull rings break off of several cans without starting to open, so I have to get the can opener.

The food dispenser doesn't dispense food! Once my cat has eaten what is on the bottom I have to physically shake or move the food so that it trickles out. This defeats the whole reason I bought this and doesn't serve the purpose that I needed it for. Does anyone have any advice on how to cut it or make it so that the food trickles down once the food on the bottom is eaten?

Maybe ours is broken (it was shipped mashed so tightly in plastic that I had no idea what it was at first), but the opening isn't raised like in the picture.  The top attached with a few stitches at each end and sits flush with the bottom.  It doesn't look like there's any way in (or posibly looks like a monster that eats cats - or maybe a trap) so the cat has never been inside.  I will stick with with kitty cubes or those plush igloos with obvious entrances in the future.

The tray holding the food is a little too large in that it never fills up with the food. The tray could have been made smaller and saved some room. It does work well as the food fills the back space of the tray and my dog eats whenever he feels hungry.

Overall, we've been happy with this feeder and I would recommend to others; however, I am knocking off a star due to this design flaw. There is no way to check the food levels without opening up the lid (I wish there was an indicator or a warning light/sound). If you get too low, the machine will make noise at the set feeding times but not drop food (I learned the hard way)

the issue is that lid doesn't have a fixture to stay open, could shut close in wind. also it's not safe to close the lid while cooking; the plastic latch would melt.

There is too big of a gap from the lid to the food storage area, if this goes in a lunch box then it cannot be turned sideways or all the food will mix...I'm returning the one I bought for my son.

The item is called a food jar so I expected it to do more than keep soup warm.  I really wanted a container to pack hot lunches for my child.  This does keep the food warm, but the opening is too narrow.  The way the top of the inside container is shaped the food actually gets stuck around the upper edges at an angle impossible to maneuver a utensil up there.  The container came home from school looking like my child plastered the top edges with mashed potatoes, but it was only because the spoon couldn't get it down and out.  I would imagine this might even pose a problem for getting soup out.  I have been through 3 different types of insulated containers for food.  This jar would be ranked at the bottom.  Disappointed.  The lip on the Fogo container is easier to get food out, but the Aladdin lunch bowl is the best (and cheapest) in that regard.  It may not hold up as well- cheaper plastic and the seal comes out, but my child can eat easily- it is as open as a bowl.

I've had choppers like this before that work pretty good.  This one spews food out of the top and sides.  The guard that is supposed to keep the food from getting stuck doesn't do it's job-it's flimsy and the food gets stuck in it.

Returning....

There's a flaw in design.  Somehow water get stuck into the lid and can't take it out.  I bought 2 of these, we put the same food inside, somehow one of them became spoiled by lunch time.  We have reasons to believe the trapped water dripped into the food which cause it to spoil.

I have a green one of these that works like a charm.  I ordered a blue one to have a spare, and this one came defective.  The opening to allow food to go out does not stay open at the set level.  It closes itself as my cat rolls the ball, so the ball is full of food but the cat cannot get it out.  I tried to return it and I was told that item was not returnable.  I gave 5 stars to the first one I got, but consistent quality seems to be an issue with this product

The food wouldn't slide down into the bowl on its own, I had to shake it. This wouldn't be good if you were gone for a few days.

The bag is filled with the crumbs of the food. It must have been shipped many times and gotten very rough handling for th ieces to have been smashed into crumbs. It's not usable.

It is nice to not have to refill feeders every day, fill once a week and done. Because it opens against the wall it is hard to fill, I have to fill it with a scoop rather than pouring it from the bag. Hold the feed in good for little waist.
