DXOPHIEX Automatic Fish Feeder Food Dispenser Vacation Fish Feeder Powered by Battery and USB for Aquarium and Turtle Tank

Reliable Daily Performance I originally purchased this automatic fish feeder to cover feedings while I was on vacation. However, it worked so well and was so consistent that I decided to leave it on permanently. It has completely simplified my daily routine and ensures my fish are fed on the same schedule every single day. Key Features Long-Lasting Battery: I’ve been using this on battery power for over 4 months now, and it still hasn't needed a replacement. Perfect Fit: I was happy to find that it fits perfectly on my hood, making the installation quick and secure. Dual Power Peace of Mind: The fact that it can be powered by both battery and USB is a huge plus for permanent use. I don't have to worry about a power outage interrupting the schedule. Quiet and Consistent: It operates smoothly and quietly in the background without any issues. Simple Setup: It was very easy to program the feeding times, and it has remained accurate since day one. The Verdict Whether you're heading out of town or just want to automate your aquarium maintenance, this feeder is a great investment. It’s reliable enough for everyday use and gives me one less thing to worry about.

Great Quality, it works as intended, the battery life is great, and considering it's only a fallback it means you can have peace of mind. The feeder time drifts only slightly but it's quite decent. The capacity is enough to feed a turtle for several weeks

I bought this feeder to replace our old feeder that would slowly rotate like a clock and push the food out. We had issues with our old feeder stopping, jamming, and not feeding our turtle while on vacation and thankfully I'd left a key with our neighbor to check while we were away. After that last time where it stopped working in between days where the neighbor was checking, I went and bought this one as I saw it had better technology, you can adjust how many times it feeds in a day (super easy btw), and it fed so much more food in those feeding intervals (it's adjustable) than any of our previous feeders, and wasnt as difficult to put food into like our previous one where 5 pieces of food fit in a slow and god forbid you knock into it and food goes flying or tumbles out, I digress. We got this feeder, set it up, and have been so happy with it. Honestly it's an absolutely wonderful feeder and I highly recommend. The tank wall attachment is perfect, it's adjustable and very secure, the mounting bracket won't budge, although I learned that the feeder itself attached to the bracket has a potential to fall off which is where the next part comes in. But before that, know that this feeder is awesome it even comes with one of those suction cup hoops where you can either train for pets to come to the hoop for food, or if you have surface floating plants, it will prevent the plants from entering that hoop space so your pets can actually get the food when it drops. It's really a great nifty and thoughtful feeder. Now here is where the great until part comes in. Of no fault of the product or company, you must be aware that it is NOT waterproof in any way at all! I was setting up our new tank since our turtle had outgrown it's old one and I accidently bumped into the tank/feeder and it fell into the turtle tank for maybe 10 seconds not even before I yanked it out and rushed to get the batteries out and dry it off. The item did not get fully submerged, but the battery area did get wet and possibly the internal components. There is no way to open up the feeder to try to dry the internals other than where the batteries sit. The place for the batteries is not sealed in a waterproof type way and neither is the rest of the feeder. Obviously it was never suppose to take a dive but accidents happen and unfortunately I'm accident prone. I dried the feeder the best I could and let it sit out to dry all day and overnight and this morning tried to put in new batteries, in hopes that miracles happen and it would turn back on. Unfortunately that was not the case, the feeder won't turn on and I'm shooting myself in the foot for my clumsiness. Honestly it's a wonderful feeder, I was even looking to see if this company made a bigger one for bigger food since our turtle will eventually get bigger and need bigger food, but I wasn't planning on replacing it so soon (I bought it in June *facepalm*). I highly recommend for anyone that wants to ensure their beloved animals will get fed at the same time consistently. I just recommend for those that are not as clumsy as me. I do wish this design was a bit waterproof given the environment it is working in or for, which is why I'm dropping off a star and maybe the creators will adjust their design one day to make the product more waterproof or resistant. Or perhaps adjust the mounting to make sure the feeder itself is secured maybe with a screw type locking or other type system so that a simple bump to the feeder wont potentially cause the feeder to take a dive. Especially since the mounting bracket to the wall is super secure, in fact the bracket is still attached to the old tank and didn't budge at all. Overall, I really truly recommend this feeder, I was hoping to get a longer time and use out of it, but accidents happen and I'm prone to making them happen. This feeder is great for a variety of food types from fish food to turtle logs and pellets, truly give it a go if you want something that wont fail you, just make sure you aren't clumsy like me. Now I get to go and either look for that bigger style feeder or reorder this one to make up for my clumsiness, learn from me lol

I bricked my old battery powered feeder by briefly dunking it, I did a lot of research and this was really the only viable wifi/plugged in option. I am actually very pleasantly surprised by its excellence and the value for money it represents, and I’m not easily impressed. So, the app is wonky and clearly built on very poorly translated Chinese, but once you figure out what certain misapplied words stand for it works well and captures a great longitudinal data log of all feedings, manual and auto. It can run on a usb-A wire alone and can also have AA back up if you want. You can pick up to six auto feeds per day but you can have your choice of multiple “shares” (intended to mean rotations of the feeder) per feeding. I’ve had about 200 rotations in the month I’ve owned it. Works reliably and flawlessly. So much better than having to change AA batteries monthly and also beats resetting the clock and reprogramming all feedings on a crappy black and white LCD screen every time like its competition. So yeah, spend the extra few bucks (or save a few, some of the battery non-wifi units cost more than this) and enjoy much less hassle and expense and track it all automatically to boot. Your anthias and chromis (certainly my bimacs and chromis love it!) will thank you for it in the form of possibly not dying for looking at them funny at least for awhile for it!

After trying at least 4 different auto feeders I finally found this one which is suitable to feed one Beta fish. Setup is easy and it functions just as described. I have it set to the smallest amount and it does very well, on occasion it still dispenses more the 4 pellets but I did set it to feed only once a day (every 24 hours). I also like that it plugs in and I don't have to worry about batteries needing replacement when I'm out of town. The challenge was to find an auto feeder that is affordable, works with my 3 gallon aqua phonics tank which only has a small hole to feed through and the placement of the feeder on top of the tank, I used double sided tape to securely put it in place. I recommend this feeder for one beta fish Update: I went on a 5 week vacation and this feeder worked great for one Beta. I put it on the smallest setting and programmed feeding every 12 hours. I had a camera on the aquarium to periodically ensure that food was dispensed and it did fine. My Beta is happy and well. Would buy again.
