Pros: Convenient supply of fresh food, available in various sizes, not hard to clean or fill.
Cons: Chewed food containers will spill food, replacements hard to find.
The Bottom Line: LeBistro won't run out of food and can't be tipped over. If you're looking for a convenient way to assure your pet's welfare, try this product. You won't be disappointed.
The LeBistro automatic feeder is a great way to keep food available for your pet for days at a time. Once filled, these feeders dispense fresh food continuously (until the feeder is empty).
Your pet's food bowl needs to be cleaned regularly anyway. With the LeBistro, you can wipe out the food bowl at each refill, and forget about it for days! Your pet has a continuous supply of food for as long as the feeder has food in it.
Using the large size, I can put up to 20 pounds of food in the dispenser, and I don't have to refill it for a very long time.
The plastic food containers aren't indestructible, and if you have a pet that starts to chew on the container, you will need to spray the outside of the container with a solution to deter the chewing. There are many chewing deterrents available, although I have found that the bitter apple type works best. I haven't found any type of container that works well as replacement, so stop the chewing immediately if it starts.
All in all, the LeBistro automatic feeder is a great alternative to a regular food bowl. The Le Bistro can't be tipped over if your pet steps on the rim of the bowl, and every time your pet is hungry, there's always food available.
