Seem like a good idea.
Still not quite sure about this. I have had it for a week now and have it indoors testing it. Having got the timing correct and the amount of feed. It only seems to release 1 feed a day. However that suits me as my fish are used to only being fed once a day. I am waiting for someone to cement a post into the surround of the pond and have purchased a large hanging basket hook which will hang out over the pond. Hope it works.

Holiday fish feeder
Test it first over a bowl to get the setting right before putting in place. Works well. I used for a fish pond for gold fish. Went on holiday for two weeks. Fish ok was empty.

It does the job and is good value for money
The limitation is that it only does one feed (over several hours) a day. It is also a bit complicated in getting the right amount of food dispensed, this is because of the variation in pellet sizes etc. One has to do a fair bit of trial and error before leaving it to do its job. This is essential if you don’t want your fish to starve of be over fed! However when you look at the cost compared to more sophisticated systems it is good value for money. If like me you normally feed direct and only need a feeder when going away for a few days, or a week or two its fine. I was away for two weeks and it was still working okay when I came back. Obviously if you have expensive fish, or you are away regularly, you may need something more sophisticated. I did also use a bottom feeding tablet just to be on the safe side but it was probably unnecessary in the end.

It works
It takes time to set up for your needs and I now set the feeder prior to the date to assess the feed. I use a mix of 2mm to 6mm pellets but filling is a bit iffy so filling in a gray works well. Fitting over the line is easy , I use an aluminum plant support. It sounds iffy but when set up for how many days works well

Quite large
This gadget is much bigger than I anticipated and looks ugly when installed hanging over the pond. It is difficult to check whether it works as mine seems to do all the feeding at night. I anticipated using it all the time but will only use it when I'm away from home.

Product much smaller than described.
This is where the star system is inadequate as when I give one star I am told "I hate it". I don't hate it, I am sure it is fine for what it is. However I feel let down as the product is simply not as described; it is much much smaller. This is a great pity, as in general my internet purchases exceed expectation.The description indicates the product is 30.5 x 10.2 x 25.4, and weighs 780g. These are precisely the shipping measurements and weight, even though shipping weight is stated to be 1.5kg. In fact the product itself is 18.5 x 8.8 x 16.4, making it one-third of the size I was expecting in terms of volume, and weighs 450g. I have wasted my time as this feeder is not adequate for what I want. Please, dear vendor, correct your description, and a bit more information on the feeder's hopper capacity would be helpful to purchasers. I don't have the means to measure it accurately, but I would put it at about 25cl. This represents about two days for me, and If I had known that I needn't have bothered with it.

It worked well until it didn't
This is quite a simple device, designed around the mechanism of a battery powered clock you might have on your wall. This means that it will feed once every 24 hours over the course of a few hours (as pellets slowly fall out). The device functions well when it is running, but beware of easy it is for it to stop working.Within about a week after beginning to operate it got stuck (I know it must have been about a week for unrelated reasons). Upon returning from my trip, I had found that a piece of packing foam had gotten stuck between the wheel of the feeder and the inside of the casing. I don't know if this was part of the transportation packaging or just some random piece of foam which was left in during the manufacturing process. I could not see this foam when I unpacked and set up the device so it was not very obvious that it was there.I would recommend running this device for a week or two before you intend to leave it unattended to ensure that it continues to operate. As I have quite a large pond compared to the number of fish, I think there were enough natural sources of food (insect eggs, etc.) that my fish were able to survive. But my fish have been hiding so far, although they appear to eat as pellets do disappear quicker than they would if they were left to sink.
