One is fairly big and the other one is about average size. It is easy to program. I set the thing to feed three times a day and give them about 1/4 cup each time. It is also good because our cats are on a feeding time. They were getting their food at erratic times since I wake up at different times each morning. Given the 5 lbs. capacity, that it's nice that we don't have to worry about it for a few days. I use Science Diet and like the other reviewers, use food that's bigger than pebbles. This is highly recommended along with the water fountain to give your pets the best water and freshest food on a daily basis. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Easier programming - dispenser is not effective!, 2008-07-16 I had the original LeBistro feeder for several years. Other than the CRYPTIC programming technique, it worked wonderfully. I was surprised to see that the plastic "flaps" that hold the food in place had disintegrated. I wouldn't expect a feeder this expensive to do this, but I travel a lot, and need an automatic feeder. I purchased the upgraded version (linen, larger capacity) and was dissapointed from the first day. The container is chinsy, light weight plastic and easily comes off the base if you open the lid. I've had two major spills in the month I've owned it. The cats (2) can't "get in there" and eat as easily as the new bowl is tucked under the mechanical part. But, the worst is that I keep going into that feeding room to find that the food does not stay put! I use the exact same type and it just falls through the plastic flap barriers (the part that disintegrated on the old model). So, instead of being fed 1/4 cup twice per day, the cats get a steady stream of food. Completely undesirable for me, fantastic for them... This is a complete waste of fifty bucks. There is no way to return this since I bought it through Amazon and have used it, so I'm SOL. Buy the older model, and put up with the difficult programming a few times per year, or search for a different brand altogether. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Easy to use, controlled feeding, 2008-07-14 I bought this product to automate and portion-control feed my cat. It works well and works great so far. Easy to set up...just add food. Worth the cost, even if you only use it when you vacation. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Handy, 2008-07-10 I read reviews for a different model which said the unit was hard to program, but I found this model easy to program. This unit has stopped my cat from bothering me in the morning to feed him. It dispenses in 1/4 cup increments but it actually dispenses slightly more than the selected amount. It would also be nice if it could be plugged in. Overall though, if you have a cat that meows like crazy in the morning bc hes hungry, try this! 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Pet Feeder has Bugs, 2008-07-09 This pet feeder is difficult to program. It took me about twenty-five tries and talking to Customer Service to get it right. The problem is that you only have about 10 seconds to spend on each step, and if you have to stop and read the directions, the machine goes back to the default setting without you knowing. Also the portion control is not guaranteed as they warn in the instructions. But it seems to me to be off more than it should. The fourth cup setting is more like a third to a half, and it does not come out the same amount each time.
