• The ability to seal the feeding base by rotating it inwards ensures that the feed is kept fresh.
• The lid of the feeder has a handle, which allows for ease of carrying but does not impede the opening of the lid itself.
• The lid covers a large opening through which it extremely eases to pour the pet feed.

• The actual dimensions of the feeder are 13?x 12? x 12? inches which make it small enough to be carried around with ease and easily stored, but large enough to fit adequate feed for an extended road trip.

• The bowl is removable and so you can rinse it out quickly replace it and be on your way.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Very compact ? and combines both pet feeder and food storage in one unit
• Due to the amount of food it can store (5 pounds), it can keep your pet fed for weeks.
• Auto fills the bowl with the auto-flow gravity system ? no manual refilling
• The lid is airtight and the fact that the feeding bowl can rotate to close keeps food free of external elements when it is not being used.
• It is portable and easy to travel with.
• It can serve a triple purpose: indoors, outdoors as well as while traveling.
• The handle on the lid makes carrying the feeder super easy

Cons

• The only way to regulate the amount of food your pet eats is by adjusting how far the feeder bowl is opened. However, due to the gravity system, food will continue to flow into the bowl as food is taken out.
• If your pet has a tendency of over eating, then this feeder will not help to curb its habits
• The feeding bowl is a bit small.
• This feeder is only good for medium or small sized pets.

Verdict

This is an excellent pet feeder which works the way the advertisements say it will. There are some flaws that have been noticed such as that that you can open the feeder mouth or make it smaller by rotating it, but you cannot actually control how much your pets eat. It comes with an added advantage of being able to use it indoors and outdoors as well as for travel.
