FREESEA Fish Feeder Automatic Dispenser: Aquarium Flakes Food Feeder with Timer Battery

Works great. Nice not to manually feed each day. The Automatic Fish Feeder does the job

We have a small 10 gal tank and one single goldfish that my kiddo won at a carnival. While planning for spring break travel, my daughter wanted to make sure Gilbert was fed. After a bit of research, we decided on this feeder. We use flake food and so far, it works really well for our needs. It’s battery operated and programmable to feed every 8, 12, or 24 hours. There’s a slide on the top of the feeder that controls how much food is released upon feeding. Will update the review once we get back from vacation. So far, it’s a 10/10.

I purchased the FREESEA Aquarium Automatic Fish Feeder for my home aquarium to ensure my fish are fed regularly, especially when I’m away. This device has largely met my expectations, providing a convenient and reliable feeding solution with just a minor adjustment needed for my setup. The automatic feeder is easy to install and program. It offers multiple settings to customize the feeding schedule and quantity, which is great for maintaining a consistent feeding routine. The build quality is solid, and it operates quietly and efficiently. However, I did encounter an issue with the amount of food dispensed, particularly for my smaller tank. Initially, the feeder dispensed more food than necessary, which can be problematic in smaller aquariums where overfeeding can quickly lead to water quality issues. To remedy this, I placed a piece of tape over part of the dispenser’s mouth. This simple modification allowed me to better control the portion size, ensuring my fish received the right amount of food without overloading the tank. This adjustment was a small but necessary step to make the feeder work for my specific needs. It’s something to be mindful of for those with smaller tanks. Adjusting the dispensing mechanism or using a similar modification can help prevent overfeeding. Apart from this, the feeder has been a great help. It’s been reliable in dispensing food at the set times, and I haven’t encountered any jamming or malfunctioning issues. The peace of mind it offers, knowing my fish are fed even when I’m not around, is invaluable.

Easy to set up

A little larger than I expected which wasn't a bad thing, timer was easy to set for feeding and is really great for everyday use along with being gone for the weekend. I would definitely buy this again. Very easy to fill and affix to your aquatic tank. The fish food dispenses absolutely perfect due to being able to adjust the amount dispensed each time. It doesn't matter if it's flake or pellet food. The door has never gotten stuck and works as it should. An excellent product for the price. I will say that I have a hexagonal tank; therefore I had to place this on the front. Still giving 5 stars even with the size.

First let me say that this is a great product. I went away for 5 days and set the unit to feed at 12 hour intervals and had no problems with it. I used a combination of micro pellets and flakes to prevent jamming, which worked well. Once I had the dispenser set correctly, I did not have to touch it again. I did not lose any fish and everything worked the way I expected it to. Second, the unit was shipped with no problems. It was packed well and included a USB cable, a feed ring and 2 mounting systems for the unit. The mounting systems slide on and off the unit easily and attachment is pretty self explanitory. The feed ring attaches to the inside of the tank and is nice to have but not required. All in all I am quite happy with this unit. There are a couple of things that you should be aware of, which is why I only gave this a 3 star rating. They lost a star because they stated "please feel free to contact us at any time. 24-hour Professional After-Sales Service." and I could not find any contact information in the instructions or the box. When I searched the Freesea store, there was a company address and a contact phone number in China. I had a question about the unit and had to go through a lot more than I would expect to get an answer. I ended up using Amazon chat for the answer. They lost another star because no where in the instructions does it tell you how to turn off the unit. There is no power button and the battery is encased in the unit so you cannot remove it. By sheer dumb luck we figured out that you double press the manual feed button to shut the unit off. Good unit, lacking on customer service and instructions not complete.

Even if this fish feeder works in the beginning don't trust it to keep your fish alive. We excited to go on our trip for three weeks, but we wanted to make sure our fish were taken care of when we were gone. We purchased this automatic fish feeder and had it running the week before we left to make sure it worked. We were pleased when it worked as expected, but the idea "working" did not last. Fast forward, to our return home three weeks later and we all walk in the house wondering what is that smell. We looked at the fish tank to see nothing but black water. The feeder at some point emptied all the contents which clogged the filter so the water was not circling or getting air in it. The filter got so hot it warped the plastic background that we had on the outside of the tank. We can at the fish did not die hungry. On top of that, we need a new filter system because ours is now burt out.

I bought this automatic fish feeder because I was going to be out of town for a few days and wanted to make sure my fish were well-fed while I was away. I’m really impressed with how easy it was to set up! One of my favorite features is the adjustable feeding amount—you can control exactly how much food is dispensed, which is great for preventing overfeeding. I also love the timer options. You can set it to feed every 8, 12, or 24 hours, which gives you plenty of flexibility depending on your tank’s needs. It gave me peace of mind knowing my fish were taken care of while I was gone. Highly recommend this feeder for anyone who travels or just wants a reliable backup for daily feeding!

Good product. It is working quite well

Good product

i have 2 of these for more capacity. Highly recommended product. very good quality. will buy again

Buen producto, cumple para lo que esta hecho, lo único. Que no me gustó es que solo puedes elejir la programación que alimente cada 8,12 o 24 hrs, y cada vez que lo cambias suelta comida, así que son detalles que complican un poco el uso y programación.

Kurz gesagt: ein absolut tolles Gerät! Wir waren ganz 4 Wochen auf Urlaub und haben sicherheitshalber meine Mutter ins Haus geschickt, um nach zu gucken ob das Teil auch wirklich funktioniert! Alles prima gelaufen, Fische wurden versorgt und alle sind happy!
