How does this open? Does the whole lid lift up or just a small portion of it? I use the bowl to scoop food, want to make sure it will fit

The whole lid lifts up. I use a scoop to dispense rabbit food and litter. It works perfectly!

The entire lid lifts up and opens. The smaller cutout on the front is just the clamp that secures the lid to the container; there is no smaller door or opening. I have the 50lb container.

The whole lid will open, easy to fill from bag of dry food. I use a scoop too, I think you will be very pleased with it, I am.

The entire top is on a hinge secured in the back. The front of the lid has a clamp built into it that you snap off, then the whole top lifts up on the hinge. I use the bowl to scoop out the dog food too, and this container works great. Also, the store two 35 pound bags of dog food in the container (it's small pieces), but the container will hold much more than it's advertised to.

The door at the front of the feeder will open with a slight touch. My dog uses her nose to push it back so she can eat or you can also wire it or adjust it so that it will stay open and as long as there is food in it the dog will be able to feed as it will shift downward.

where the black handle comes to the front there is a silver little button push it in and you can lift the lid. It is hinged on the back, the sides and top are one piece.

yes and yes. It is on hinges so you can lift it up, but at times I just let the food drop between the filter and the back. On the front, you can pull the piece out by the handle to make it easier to lift. A couple of things I do not like is that the brackets do not stay firmly in place on the back of the tank and the light is not very bright.

Yes, the lid opens such that you can use a scooper with out unscrewing the lid

The top part is the bowl and I use it as a place to mix and/or eat from the food that is stored in the 2 bottom containers when it is time to eat. I, personally, don't store food up there unless it's like a small piece of fruit or something.

It doesn't open in the bottom. It has small holes at the bottom. Hope this help.�

use both hands holding the sides of the bowl, close the lid from the bottom, while it close to the top, slightly use both of your index fingers to squeeze the bowl, and use your thumb to push the lid down. Now it closed perfectly.:) make sense?

I do not think the opening would be large enough. You could simply lift the lid like a normal trash can if you are buying it for its odor control properties.

Not well. It was too short for my bowl and mine is standard round. Urine got between the riser and the bowl top creating a stinky mess and you have to remove the riser to clean, as it does not lift up like the toilet seat.

The opening is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point. The scoop is about 4.5 inches wide. My observation is that this opening will indeed be too small for many scoops, and it seems very clear that the scoop that comes with the unit is custom-made for the unit. I found the small size of the scoop a bit of an adjustment, but now it's perfectly fine for me. This of course is a matter of personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am still absolutely sold on this product.

The lid is slow to open, because it is a pressurized cooker. Perfectly normal. Just push the button and wait for it to lift on its own.

It does not stay open until it's about half full. Wish I would have thought to ask your question before I purchased it.

The lid opening is small!!! We add in chopped candies etc. when we are spooning the "frozen" ice cream into our containers one layer at a time.

If you mean open the lid, then yes, it is easy to open. But because of the design, it takes a slightly different pull on the lid. Instead of just lifting the lid straight up, I find it easier to lift at a slight angle.

I don't know how difficult it is for you, but I think the plastic lid is easy to lift. And I've had many different plastic containers where it was very hard to open and close. I am very happy with this product. But where you lift the lid, the piece is small, so keep that in mind.

Press the button in front. Pull up the top portion, look at the side, you will see two holes. The scoop holder has two notches that will fit into the holes. Put the lid down. :)
