hygger LCD Control Automatic Pond Fish Feeder, Capacity 5.5L，DC 12V

Koi Peeps! I got this for a 14 foot Koi pond for about 15 fish.While it did take me a moment to get through the programing, it then went smoothly. It handled both types of koi food easily. Here's the program in a nutshell. It will only deliver on the hour, so if you set it for 1-7 that's the first feeding at 7am. If you program for 4-21, that's the 4th feeding at 9pm. You can set it to dump for a count of 1 to (I think) 6. Six being quite a bit of food with one being just enough for me which I set to occur twice a day. I set it in a bench vice overnight with a bowl under the spout to see what came out.The folks prior to this that said the programming gave too much food might have not had this gen of timer, not sure, but there are multi levels and if you need less food than "1" you are either starving your fish, or don't have any fish. You may want to take a good look in your pond. (JK)When I go away, I intend to put a bag over the timer since I'm not sure about weatherproofing, but it since it unhooks so easily, seems easy enough to put it in a gallon zip-lock and not worry. For that reason (today) I'm rating it high.I also love that this does not use a battery and by accident I flipped off the switch for an hour and it came right back to the correct time when I put power back on.I set this in place just this week. I will let you know after a few weeks if I have a change of heart or dead fish... I think we will be fine.UPDATE - We just got back from a five day away and arrived at 4:55 so I ran back and saw the food drop at 5:00 as programed. Fish waiting to eat. Works great!

Assembly is very easy and operation is easy to program. I didn't think the two different feeders would be necessary, but I use two of them for two different ponds and the different feeders made it easier to program more precisely the amount of food I wanted to feed. Quality appears to be very good. If you disassemble when not needed, make sure you unscrew the correct connectors. There are several connectors which are not meant to be unscrewed even though it is easy to unscrew them by hand. Reservoir holds plenty of food and the lid is nice and secure. Racoons tried to remove the lid and they could not.

I would give more stars if it is 1) easier to program and 2) adjustable of quantity is more precise and flexible. Programing the time and feedings are rather complicate at first. After a few mistakes then you will understand how it works. The Quantity feeding is given in SECONDS. That is the length of time the plastic screw spins pushing out the pallets. Level one quantity will spin 35 seconds. Level two will double that (70 seconds) there is nothing in between. So if that works for you then you get the good feeder. If not, then there is no way to modify it.....period. There are two plastic screws, one with large space between vein and push out more pallets than the smaller one. I can't imagine using the large one and have it spin in minutes..... judging the silo above it holds only 5.5 pounds of feed.

My feeder's power cord got chewed up and caused the power to die and go out. I was able to fix this by splicing the power cord, sealing it back up, and I'm back into business.Pros: I loved the flexibility on the scheduling and how you could program the feeding amounts, quantity sizing, and several more options. It was also not too bad from a pricing perspective. I love the battery backup, it seems to keep things charged up for a good couple of days.I've had it all variosions of weather, rain, humidity, snow, freezing arctic blasts, hot summers, and everything in between. Weather has not impacted the feeder or food.The food stays dry, no moisture issues!Nevertheless, it's an awesome feeder.

Worked for few weeks, now does not function but can’t return. Definitely would not recommend.

I am very pleased with this feeder. I was able to attach it to the post which supports the roof of my patio adjacent to the pond and move the controller up to an easily accessible spot. The length of the cord between the controller and the feeder support pipe is about 23 inches. I mounted it on a 2x6 board cut to 12" long and used a bracket to attach that to the 4x4 post. I was able to rotate the horizontal pipe (ignoring its specific position mounting hole) to get it close to the pond edge, then fine tune the drop point using the feed chute to get the food to drop exactly where I wanted. Easy to program up to 6 times feeding in a day and ample quantity served means my koi won't go hungry as long as I keep the hopper full! I'm very happy with this purchase.

The item was well made and sturdy. We purchased for a small fish pond in our yard. We like to travel from time to time and thought this would be good way to feed fish for a few days. The instructions for setting timers were not clear. We tried several times to adjust settings but each time more food would come out. We tried over several days to reach customer service ( of course at different times to allow for different time zones). Each time we got a recorded message, and were unable to leave message. Frustrated we decided to return the item. Too bad, as this does appear to be a good product, but not if you can not set up properly.

I got this to try for feeding my outdoor cat while I’m away. It works great!! I screwed it to the deck and have the shoot pointing at his bowl that’s covered by a Rubbermaid tub to keep rain out. I did drill a tiny hole through the lip of the lid and put a screw in it to keep raccoons out of it. What a life and stress savor! It was a little difficult to set up the feeding times and the amount per feeding. But once I got it figured out it works perfect. It even keeps working when the power goes out for a short period. It should be advertised for fish and cat food feeder. I highly recommend it!!
