“The feeder is OK, but I have four comments: 1) Value: The unit is way too expensive for the all-plastic design. There are two openings, one on each side of the unit. They open the same way. It is a little hard to press a tab and lift with the small handle-like protrusion. If using the mounting system, the mounting bracket requires a bit of force to attach the the feeding unit. I don't know if it comes off easily or without breaking. I'm a bit fearful of trying. 2) Safety: There are sharp plastic edges. 3) Feedings per Day: Yes, the mechanism can dispense 1-6 times per day, but what is not disclosed is that the feedings only come in 4-hour increments over 24 hours. 4) Dispensing: The description does not make it clear that the food is dispensed through the bottom of the unit. This may mean that you have to suspend the feeder by using the provided thin, hollow metal poles and corner bracket to make an L-shaped hanger that goes into the soil. There are 4 pole segments, each about 12 inches long. This permits an L-shape that is one of: 2 feet high and 2 feet long (as described in the instructions), three feet high and 1 foot long, or 1 foot high and 3 feet long. I have not tested whether the 3 feet long configuration will work long with the 2 lbs of feed plus feeder weight; it may require a different mechanism, like some rebar, to anchor it better.”
