"This is a great investment, I believe. It makes feeding my kitten very simple. All I have to do is fill the reservoir with dry food, and he is good to go for roughly 3 weeks. I do not have to worry about his dry food. The feeder is very easy to clean as all the different parts come apart. The dry food does not get stuck in the reservoir part of the feeder, instead there is consistently food in the bowl section. My kitten likes to shake his head when eating, which means that food often times gets on the floor or in a neighboring bowl. However, with this feeder, because it's so big, he doesn't create a big mess. We love this! When we travel, we use this feeder which makes things very convenient."
