I have had a Wopet feeder for about 10 months and it fed my cat Bennie well for those 10 months. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. Their customer service to tackle the issue was amazing! I received my new Wopet, after some troubleshooting, a week after I contacted them!
Charles G.
Much easier to program than my previous feeder but would like to have one that feeding size is even smaller , perhaps half of present smallest feeder option
Lori L.
My dog eats twice a day and I am going on vacation so I bought this to make sure that if someone could get there exactly at the time that he eats, he will have his food. Trying it out for at least a month before I go away and I LOVE it !!!! Easy to program and works great !!!!

I bought another brand's auto feeder which was way to easy for my savvy kitties to break into and it was bulky. The wopat model is perfect. They can't break in and it has a sleek design.
Dale P.
I bought two, one for each cat. They love them.
David W.
We love it. Borrowed one from friends several months ago to feed Rex The Cat while we went camping. Ordered our own, love it. Rex does too.
Lucy K.
This feeder is very easy to set up and adjust as needed. My cat loved it from day one.
Mikael P.
We had two of these we had purchased from Amazon previously and really like. They prevent our cats from being able to help themselves to food all day. They seem pretty durable, and I love the feature to plug them in and not have to run off battery 100% unless a power outage occurs, and the battery provides peace of mind in case of power outages when we are away from home.
On a purchase note: I decided to purchase directly from WOPET because I am trying to move away from Amazon purchases after the bad press they received around COVID-19 employee treatment. Unfortunately, the feeder arrived in an Amazon box despite paying $10 more than it was listed on Amazon's site. I really hope that $10 went directly to WOPET since our intent was to make sure WOPET received more profits.
Patricia B.
Really like how I don't have to worry about feeding my cat, it does the work so he's happy
HITOMI M.
After one year of purchase, it stopped working consistently, perhaps due to sticky food pieces being trapped in the mechanical parts and preventing the rotating piece from moving. I washed and cleaned the bowel and food tray and dry wiped the main base unit. I will see if this helps.

I have purchased my second feeder for my second cat. Very user friendly and helps me solve my cats odd eating habits.
I also accidentally either misplaced or threw out the small portion food dispenser. I contacted the customer support via email and within 24 hours they responded and said they would send a replacement free of charge ASAP.
Overall I am very satisfied with the product and the company.
Tina Y.
Works perfectly! I like that the lid locks in place and that the programming buttons are on top of the unit, but under the protection of the lid. I use it for a cat. I believe he would prefer a round bowl tho.
Carolina T.
I love this feeder! I bought it for my cat before I left on vacation, and it was the best purchase ever! My cat is on a food schedule, and I love that I don’t have to worry about giving her the food anymore! 10/10 recommend!!
Jaleene J.
My two cats love this feeder. Its extremely helpful when I work long days or have to travel. Its nice to have a peace of mind that my cats are well feed every single day. Its also extremely nice that theres portion control. My oldest cat even lost a few pounds! 10/10 would recommend!
DAVID R.
Pretty happy with the product I do recommend though that you measure the amount being dispensed to figure out the appropriate portion size especially if your dog or cat on a specific diet
I found the conversion to be a little off and also depends on the exact size of your kibble it’s going to vary a little bit. For me with small dog kibble 1/4 ounce of food is setting 3 with the small food wheel.
Dave
Love the feeder and their incredible product support. I had misplaced the L portion feeder wheel and they shipped a replacement immediately. Very satisfied with the feeder and professional support group!
Deanne
We bought our feeder last August and it has been lifesaving for our blind dog. Hearing my voice and announcing feeding time has been great for her. We were having some problems with the wheel not advancing correctly during feeding time. I contacted WOPET and they responded within 24 hours. The customer service representative gave me some suggestions on how to fix the issue, however the issue did not correct itself. They ended up sending me a new feeder (no charges at all), it arrived within 2 weeks! It is SO nice to deal with a company that stands behind their product and has great customer service. Thank You WOPET for making our dogs life so much better, and for your prompt responses and customer service!
Elizabeth P.
I really love it! We bought the food dispenser for a long weekend vacations and really works. After that trip I really felt in love of it, because I don't have to weak up at 6 am to feet my cats, and we can control the portions of food during the day and maintain your cat's diet.
The only problem that we have, if that one of the feeder dispenses food earlier than planned hour, so one of my cats eats before than the other one. I contact with support to make valid my warranty, and they answer fast, and they going to send me a new one.
burt s.
Great product for my cat that can only had very tiny meals due to regurgitation..Unfortunatly he threw up right on the usb power adapter and power strip and broke the power adapter..I emailed customer support and they were mind enough to send me a replacement..
Great Product and Great Company to deal with!
Alan B.
Although we never had much luck with the speaker and recorded voice option with the 7L feeder, the other options work really well. I especially like being able to set the time for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and even a fourth meal.
Unfortunately, our unit stopped working only a few months after we put it into service. Our cats were sad, and so were we. I contacted Wopet through email and they are shipping a new unit to us. Yay!! The cats and their owners are looking forward to getting back into business on the feeding. Thanks for the great customer service!!
Brandon D.
Love this product! The wopet feeder is the best automatic feeder I have used. I highly recommend this product to everyone.
Courtney C.
Love this design. Just set it up today with a timer to feed my chubby cat at 2130 so I’m excited to see it in action
Alyssa W.
We absolutely love our feeder!!! It makes it easy to make sure our cat doesn’t over or under eat. Plus he can’t get into it and pull food out. It works plugged in and with the battery. We have had no problem with our machine. The reason there is no bowl is because our dog ate it, but wopet has been awesome enough to replace that part. Thank you for greatness!!!
Robin S.
Its such an excellent feeder. A great size and now I can go away and cats are happy! Customer service is also very excellent.
Mikle A.
I think the product is great but this review is more for the exceptional customer service that I experienced. I bought 2 Wopet feeders last year in October. One of the feeders stopped working. I notified the company about the broken feeder. Sherry from Wopet responded same day and asked for a picture of product and my address. After I did that she assured me that a new feeder will be sent to me. All within two days. The feeder was at my doorstep in 4 days. I wish more company’s customer service was this way. Great job Wopet, keep it up.
John L.
This is the best automatic feeder I have ever owned. It's easy to program and keeps my Gracie cat fed consistently every day and when I'm gone for a couple days. I highly recommend.
Agnes Sze Yeng T.
Wow, it’s so convenient! Now my puppy won’t miss a meal
Design of the product is so beautiful and modern too! Love it
Deborah D.
I bought this for my cat. I had tried a different feeder and didn't like that it only had battery power. This one has batter back up for the electric power. It was easy to set up, uses military time, and was easy to program the number of "scoops" to come out. I pressed manual feed and measured the amount it put out several times in order to determine the best amount for my cat. It is also easy to change. My cat has no trouble with it. It is easy to clean the bowl. Now I feel secure he will be fed if I am not at home!
Marcia S.
The feeder works great... and when we needed support, we emailed the company and got prompt service. Very satisfied.
Taylor M.
This is amazing for anyone! But especially for someone with an overweight cat or who travels often. My cat is on the heavy side and this helps to regulate how often she eats and consistently provides her the same amount. I often take 48 trips and I am confident knowing she is a happy, not hangry girl :)
Donna M.
It is a little complex to program and the writing on the control panel is very small. So I accidently set it for breakfast AND LUNCH, while we were away. My daughter is very unreliable as a cat feeder when we travel and my boys are usually quite slim when we get back from a trip. So that is why I bought this automatic feeder. Since there are 4 of them and two are real bullies - I set it for 15 portions figuring there is only so much the 2 bullies can eat and there would be some left for the other two. This time they looked like they were quite plumped up when we got home!!!! The Wopet feeder works like a charm!!
Jessica S.
So far this has been pretty useful to my schedule with work. I can watch from my camera to make sure they get fed at the time they want while at work.
Zaina M.
It works great! Makes my routine a little smoother and the cats are fed a small amount multiple times which I believe is healthier for them! Just a couple little things, it's very loud when the food dispenses and the voice record is poor quality (sounds distant). However, these are just small things and I am overall pleased with the product.
Veronica S.
Great product! I got it for my indoor/outdoor cat. Knowing the the cat will be fed on schedule give me peace of mind and freedom to go away for the weekend without no pet sitting planning. The cat also would healthier since his portions are controlled. Great customer service too. I highly recommend this product!
Michele M.
My dog thinks it’s a toy that will keep dispensing treats if he hits it enough so I had to put this box around it. Other than that, super reliable and great product! Would recommend.
Hamza R.
I bought this a few days ago and it is absolutely amazing. I never have to worry about portions or feeding times again!
Carter K.
Does the job it says, flexible and intuitive software/interface and is fairly unobtrusive design-wise.
Ricardo F.
My cat LOVED IT!! I had tons of issues with the previous feeder and now everything is just perfect!
And Toulouse seems to be extra curious and interested in the food because of my voice when it drops! I just love that feature!
100% recommended
Viviani M.
very precise, fast shipping, excellent product, easy to use and very nice and comfortable
Amy M.
After a few months of using the automatic feeder and being thrilled with the product the dispenser seemed to be getting stuck and not dispensing the meal. After trying to make adjustments it seemed to have a problem. After I contacted customer service they immediately offered to send a replacement. So far Stella is a happy dog with a full tummy. The set up is very easy. I like how the lid is clear so you can see when to refill the dispenser.
SAMANTHA HUBBELL
THIS THING IS AWESOME. My cat was waking me in the AM for attention more than anything. However, with a scheduled 6am meal she leaves me be or comes back to snuggle. It's so easy to add or change meals for when i'm out of town. This is so convenient! I wish I would've splurged for the model you can control from your phone though :)
Rachel Coddington
This automatic pet feeder has taken the strain of having someone come over and feed my cat. It came packaged very well and bubbles wrapped accordingly. The control panel is easy to read and came with simple instructions. The set up was painless. Excited to see how my cat responds to this.
Dave
This has worked very well, and I have been very impressed. It was very easy to set up. I would definitely buy again.
Tina
A little bit pricey but does what advertised
Savannah
The only down side is that you have to know military time because the feeding schedules are from 12 am all the way to 24 but it doesn't giver you an AM or PM sign like a lot of clocks do. But other than that this is amazing. My cat was a little freaked out at first from the noise but now shes use to it and its only been 3 weeks. LOVE this, such a good investment. I also bought the batteries for the back up in case the power goes out which it has a few times so far and my kitty still gets fed.
cspstevepowell
Easy set up and works perfectly. 60lb dog fed twice a day.
Connor
Could not recommend this product more! Not having to worry about feeding my dog at the same time each day is so worth the money. Highly customizable schedules and and portion sizes make this product amazing. Backup battery power ensures that your animals never miss a meal, and it's very easy to clean! Customizable internal hopper can be switched out according to whatever size food your animal is eating. The only downside is that I think my dog likes this feeder more than me now!!
Buyer in New Mexico
I found setting the portion size a little difficult.
Had to set it on 2 portions to get the correct amount.
Wish it offered more than 4 Times for feeding.
And I find it impossible to open the lid with only one had.
You must push in the button with one hand and open the lid with the other.
Better if the lid popped up or at lease released when you push the button.
Emily N. Kaestner
So easy to use! Great addition for our dog.
Jon
Needed this because my work schedule varies daily. This can be set up to dispense food up to 4 times a day at whatever time you schedule. I have a small dog so I set it to give out 1 cup. A neat little feature is that I can record my voice to let my dog know it is time to eat! I am very happy with this purchase!
Marissa F.
I haven’t tried it yet but the pet feeder came very fast!!! Also I was slightly skeptical because there is no customer service phone number; however Sherry has been great in answering all of my question quickly! I will update my review once I try the product! Thanks again Wopet!
Laura
It took a little while to set it up, but now that we have it programmed (time set, portion amount, etc.) it is such a blessing! I have a large dog and the amount it dispenses on setting 12 is perfect. It has 4 time of day settings which is nice, we only use 2 of them. It was easy to program. My dog hears the food drop and instantly comes and eats, it's really a nice addition and well worth the price.
Wopet Customer
Makes feeding your pet so easy! I am away at work a lot and no longer have to worry about getting home in time to feed. Plus I know she's getting evenly spaced meals which makes her digestion much better. My cat now knows that her food comes from this machine which has made her cry/meow/beg for food a lot less improving our relationship. I honestly wish I bought this machine years ago!
Michael R.
My only "issue" is with the dish. The food bounces out of it while it is dispensing. Having a French Bulldog means that he's gonna find every last nugget regardless of where it is even if it means pushing the machine over to get to it. I worked around the issue by elevating it and substituting the supplied dish with a large deep sided steel dish that catches each portion.
Sue
Easy to set up. Batteries great for electrical outage problems we experience. I don't use the voice notice; our dog figured the times out quickly.
Loren
Love this feeder. Sometimes a little food slips out if you bump into it but it serves its purpose.
Ross G.
My step-cat was used to unfettered access to all areas of the living space prior to moving in with me. Due to my allergies as well as her fondness for dumping whole glasses of cold water on me in my sleep, she is no longer allowed to be in the bedroom at night. This isolation is clearly bothering her as evidenced by the continual and repeated scratching at the bedroom door, generally 1-2 hours in advance of when her impatient self expects to be fed.
I bought this automatic feeder hoping to disassociate myself and my fiancee from the feeding process and maybe leave us the hell alone at night for once. In that regard, it has worked quite well.
The feeder comes with two different dispensing "paddles," one for large food and one for smaller kibbles. it ships with the large one installed, but it only takes a screwdriver and about 10 minutes to swap them out. All of the food contact surfaces (bin, paddles, dish) can be removed and hand washed which is nice. I was a little concerned that the cat would find a way to knock the device over and get to the food reservoir, but it is pretty sturdy and the lid latch is designed with a nice "child lock" feature that will keep animals from getting in.
Programming the meal size and schedule was surprisingly easy. The instructions are not quite perfectly translated, but if you have programmed an automatic coffee maker before you could probably figure this thing out without the instructions after poking around for a little bit. The voice record function is fun, although I don't think the cat realizes it is my voice coming from the Food Robot.
Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of this automatic feeder, and it has significantly reduced the amount of hassling I receive from my beloved step-cat. If she has complaints I just tell her to take it up with the robot.
CAB
Follow the instructions to ensure proper setup and it works as it should. Great device!
cat feeder
cool product an added benefit, I got our cat to comfort my elderly Mother, but because I'm the one that feeds her she stays around me too much and not with my Mom. Now she won't associate me with food, hopefully she will do her job and hang out with mom some more.
I would suggest making a better seal on the top to keep the food fresh and opaque cover to keep sunlight out.
It would be nice if it was easier to remove the feeding tray for cleaning.
I think a trap door on the bottom that opens when the food dispenses would be a good idea, it would help to keep the food fresher and keep pests out.
H. Momose
I bought this about one month ago. It has been working consistently.
Trucking family
Works perfect for feeding my cat small amounts at a time !!! Easy to set up .. so fun to use ... any pet owner who is away from home alot needs this !!! Well worth the price...
Lizziedubya
The instructions claim each portion size is 5g (small dial) or 10g (large dial). I converted 100g of dry cat food = 1 cup. I don't know if my kibble is different or if the machine instructions are wrong because I measured 4 dial turns = 1/2 cup for my kibble. I would recommend you do the same to make sure you are not over or under feeding your cats! Also there's no labeling of which dial is the small or large one. So far my cats like and use it tho!
Cinttie
You can set the portion size and up to 4 meals a day! It does not hold as much food as I would like so i will probably buy another since I have 2 dogs, but it works beautifully and can be used with batteries or plugged in!
EH
This is an amazing product. My only gripe is that the clock is cheap and slows down over time. Other than that, this is an excellent product.
Belge
allows big volume of food for multiple weeks to be stored and dispensed.
Kayla & Debbie
I just got this yesterday, so I can't speak to how it works long-term. But so far it works great!... after one minor hiccup. When I changed the rotating pinwheel-like mechanism to the small one, I definitely installed it backward. This meant that virtually no food came out the correct end, and almost all the food got lost IN the dispenser (oops). So this review is mostly to say don't be a dumba** like me and install the thing backward ??. One other thing to note, I don't love that the feeding measurements are in grams. It was a little difficult to figure out the correct feeding size, but with a bit of trial and error I got it down. So far kitty loves it!

We recently adopted a cat and being is not always at home makes this cute little creature eat in the right amount at the right time. My daughter recorded her voice which we think is a good idea. We love this product, I even recommended it to my friends
Chris Middleton
This is a good machine that provides what I want. It has some drawbacks, but none that impair its function. That is better than another product I tried.
What I like:
Accurate portion control in units of about 2.5 teaspoons OR 1/8 cup (See my results, below.)
Large bin for when I travel
Easy, intuitive interface
Wall power with battery backup
Tammy is being fully entertained right now by trying to break into it, but is having no luck. (She's a cat.)
Drawbacks:
The interface is clunky (though also easy). You sometimes have to press a button very many times to cycle to the number you want.
Removing the hopper (e.g., to clean it) is guaranteed to spill a good bit of kibble.
Changing to the small portion size requires 10 minutes and a screwdriver.
Instructions are not quite complete, and are a truly terrible translation. However, everything is so obvious that this really was no obstacle for me.
Might not work for very large kibble size. Try measuring your pet's large food with only a 1/8 cup scoop.
Hints:
Actual portion size
Large portion size: 2 portions = 1/4 cup
Small portion size: 5 portions = 1/4 cup
Unless different machines vary (and I can't see why they would given the way it works) you can rely on this, as I tested it a number of times. The large size isn't good for me, but the small size is sufficient. My cat is currently on 1/2 cup a day. If she were gaining weight, using the large portions I could only reduce that by 1/8 cup, or 25%. That's not fine enough control.
On first use, use the "Manual" button 2-3 times to fill the feeder mechanism. (Hold down the button 3 seconds.)
To install the smaller portion "wheel", know that there is another screw, not mentioned, inside the hopper, in the center of the little stirring paddle thingy.
To remove the serving tray, hold it down with one hand and push the top of the hopper backwards with the other hand. (I don't know why I had trouble with this.)
coral
I really like this. Plan to order another one when I can afford it. I wish that it had a larger dish and larger portion sizes but it's a wonderful thing
laura1983
My cat is fat and we just got her on a very specific, portion controlled, diet. However, I can't remember to only feed her 3/4 cup a day at around the same time. This fixed that issue. No more thinking about it at all.
Mieke
I've had this pet feeder for about a year. It took about 10 minutes to get the thing set up and understand the controls. They make sense - not as intuitive as in iPhone, but I didn't expect that. My cat doesn't bug me in the morning for food, because she knows she will get breakfast at the same time every day. I had one issue with the unit, and I reached out to customer service - they responded very quickly and were extremely . My cousin recommended this product to me, and I've recommended it to several friends, who are happy with it as well.
A. Selinski
Excellent. Makes life so easy!!!
Christina
I have an auto feeder for my cat. Purchased this one for my dog. Easy to set up. Love it! Was just using for when we travel, but now use all the time!
Elena M.
I ordered this cause i often need to leave home for couple of days and I have 2 cats. Instead of looking for someone to take care of them that time I simply install this, some water and a camera. It gave me the peace of mind that the food will not dry out or get spilled. Thank you
S. Family
Not the most intuitive controls, but after reading instructions and setting up once, you can just set it and forget it. Love that I can program multiple meal modes at different times. Cats love it because I can feed them while I'm at work. Great product!
Andres Trujillo
My dog was having problems if I change the food time (vomit), but with this feeder the problem is solved is amazing, the container is huge and easy to clean.
Andy
Works like a charm, but it's incredibly easy for my cat to knock food out of it. Just a small push and it drops a piece or 3
Brianne M.
I was hesitant to buy an automatic feeder online but the reviews for this one really helped me take the plunge and do it. And I love it! It's a great design and can hold quite a bit of my cats food. The portion sizing was kind of odd but overall It's helped my cat loose weight! And if your cat is constantly bugging you for food, I highly recommend the automatic feeder. They begin to realize that's the food source now , not you.
Angelica
My cat used to wake me up at 6am to feed her, now I can sleep better because of this, the portion size is also awesome since I can control her portions and help her lose weight, and of course is perfect if you are gonna be away for a few days and don't have to worry about the food for your pet.
Bob the Builder
I love that I am able to make sure my pup stays in a feeding routine. The only downside is that the portion sizes are very obscure
Deborah Ann
This product is awesome, it's very easy to clean and I do t have to worry about forgetting to feed my dog. I have it set for 2 feedings one for 7am and one for 7pm for the first few days I would watch it to make sure the food was coming out and it did. My dog walked by one day when the food was coming out so he thought every time he walked by food world come out do one day I watched him he walked by the thing 5 times and nothing happen he got mad lol. But I am really happy with this item and it works great
Ashley R.
Love this feeder! So easy to use, program and clean up! Feedings are much simpler now
Daniel Holmes
We have three pets in the house that eat the same pet food and this is perfect. I like that you can customize the sound when the food is dispensed. Neat product.
Lynda T.
My cat was crazy about feedings, was overweight, and was constantly asking to be fed. I bought the feeder hoping it would lessen all the drama. It did! Now she knows the only food she gets is dispensed by the feeder so it has reduced her behavior of asking me to feed her. The food is dispensed, the message runs and she runs to the feeder. She had manged to open other containers but so far she has been unable to open the Wopet. She has lost weight and I am happy to be out of the feeding frenzy mode.
Melody Wuest
I'm so glad I purchased this automatic feeder! By reading the reviews, we were able to set up the feeder with no problems. It's cute to watch our two dogs taking turns when the food is in the tray! This feeder is so convenient and worked just as described!
Haley
Been a few months now and this works amazing! But our dog is smart we had to place it blocked into the corner because he figured out if he bumps it more food comes out lol

Imelda Carrillo
This product is a life saver and takes some guilt off of me. Me and my husband work 12 hr days so my puppies would just get one big amount in the morning and at night . And my dogs would eat the big amount in one sitting!!!!!!!! We got this and now they can have smaller portions throughout the day with out feeling as guilty ! And I can leave them a cute message.
Bailey M.
We bought this to help our pets (dog & cat) lose weight and control their portions and it has worked like a charm! The 2 sizes has helped just in case we forget and get a larger kibble, the sound goes off just before the food drops so they come running and ready for it (best is we recorded a personalized sound for each 1), and best of all within 6 months of having it both are within 1 pound of their ideal weights. There are many more features, but the option to do 1-4 feedings a day with portion size of 1-39 turns makes it perfect for any pet. When we fill the tub full of kibble it generally last between 3-4 weeks depending on the kibble.
BUT the best part is neither pet has figured out that we control or can control it so they don't bother us with being hungry which made the transition from free feed to controlled feed super easy. With my career I am on the road all day and could not guarantee I would be able to feed them consistently and now I don't have to worry. I seriously could not imagine my life or my pets (and future pets) lives without this.
JAE
We are keeping this in a covered outdoor pen for our beagle dog. So far so good, it works like a charm. You can program four different meal times with different servings and record your voice. We tell our Beagle that "it's time to eat". It is electric, but has a battery backup.
martha2nd1
I love everything about this feeder. My hubby and I love to travel so this will be great when we are away for a few days. I can see how much is in the holding tank thanks to the clear lid. The digital display panel is easy to access and I don't have to move the feeder to get at it. I have mine set to feed twice a day and have not experienced any issues with it. My cat actually must have an internal clock because she sits in front of it around the dispense time and waits for it to deliver her food. Highly recommend!
Dorene Potts
I have had it for a month. I love it. Easy to program. So far is working great. My cat adjusted to it beautifully. We did not program a voice message because he comes the minute he hears the food drop
Erik Moldovan
Simple to set up, simple to use and reliable!
JW
Easy to program. I wish it pushed the food out further as our cat doesn't like to eat it so close to the machine and it piles up under. Reliable and has battery backup.
Nurse/Veteran
This is one of the best things I've bought. It gives my cats the exact amount I set it for. It has a very wide range of portion size to set it to. When my cats here my voice recording built in calling them that it's time to eat they go running. It's funny. This machine takes the hassle out of feeding my cats. Its very easy to use.
Wopet Customer
This product wasn't designed the best for easy set up but once you set it up, it's perfect. Took me 3 different attempts to get the right food amount for our cat. The product uses something like 1 unit = 10 grams, which I'm not sure was super accurate. Do a trial run to make sure it produces the amount you want and you'll be good. Plus, you can record a voice memo that plays when the food is distributed.
Private
Cat isn't afraid of it and caught on to the process immediately. Has prevented her from eating herself sick. Tiny bit noisy, but that also serves as additional notification to the cat that food is available. However, if your cat is good at moving/head-butting things they can probably knock additional food out.
Wopet Customer
My first automated feeder, and it works like a charm. There's nothing fancy here. You program it with a couple of small buttons and a simple LCD screen. Sturdy enough to not be toppled over, and the lid is tamper proof (my cat tried opening it and failed). Seems to be reliable. Even takes standard D-Cell batteries if you're worried about losing power. Even allows you to record a short voice sample.
The only thing that could be improved is the way you program the portion size. Since there are no increase and decrease buttons, you can only increase the size before you reach the max and it resets back to zero. This takes a bit more time if you made a mistake or changed your mind.
