Update 12/20/12:
A year and a half later and this feeder has been flawless. Love the simplicity of programming and if we want to add an extra feeding or two we just flip another of the switches on the timer. It's also been consistent enough when switching between different food that we haven't had to adjust for small variations in kibble size. Cat hears the food drop and she goes running! It holds plenty of food so we don't have to fill it often, and the clear sleeve in the feed chute lets us monitor when we need to refill it. Couldn't be more pleased with the investment.

Original review:
We bought this automatic cat feeder to help preserve our sanity. Our cat is extremely "vocal" when she wants her food, and insisted on constantly waking us up at 4AM or earlier for her breakfast. After researching options, I chose the Superfeeder based on the reviews. The cheaper ones available in big box pet stores seem to have issues with reliability and protection of the food from persistent cats who stick their paws up the food chute. No such issues with the superfeeder after several weeks of use. The adjustment was very easy, and reasonably consistent with the small kibble Iams food we feed, and the timer was very easy to adjust. The product appears very well built and arrived carefully packaged and partly assembled. Instructions weren't the clearest I've seen, but had pretty good pictures. Had it up and running within 30 minutes of taking my sweet time.
We settled on a 3 times daily feeding cycle, with one in the morning, one in the evening, and one around 2AM. That way the cat gets fed periodically through the day and night, and doesn't have pent up hunger. She's also stopped coming to us, since we no longer provide the food. When she hears the feeder kick on and the food drop into the bowl, she dashes off to the office to eat. Great!
