What sort of warranty comes with this "large automatic pet feeder"? I bought one June 4, 2013 and it is beginning to malfunction.

I have bought 2 one lasted almost 5 years and im on the 2 , change the batteries and see if that corrects your problem.

Forgot to respond about the warranty. Not sure about the warranty, but it seems like mine usually last only 1 year.

I think the warranty is threw amazon. This is the second one I bought in 3 years because I ripped the first one.

The company that manufactured the feeder has gone out of business. My friend has the same feeder and called the Amazon distributor from whom she bought the feeder when a part broke and they would not stand by the lifetime warranty. It's unfortunate because it's a wonderful feeder, but is rendered useless if something goes wrong and can't be fixed. I wonder if Amazon would be willing to give you contact information so you could check to see if the manufacturer has any "spare parts". I think either Amazon or Amazon's distributor should go to bat for you. Good luck.

Setting the timer on the feeder is very simple. It is much more like setting a cooking timer than programming a DVR. I'm sure that your petsitter can handle it.

I liked mine for about a month. Then it quit working. It goes through batteries really fast and even after changing them it still doesn't work well. I switched to a different manual feeder.

Not sure about the warranty on this bed...have not needed it! My 125 pound Rottweiler has been sleeping on it for about a year now and the bed is as good today as the day I bought it. I will never buy another bed for him other than this one. Have noticed a difference in his right front leg that had been injured. He's walking better, now that he sleeps on it. I love this dog bed and recommend it to anyone with a large dog! Several of my friends with large dogs are now using that bed also. I know I sound like a commercial, but this bed is awesome.

My cat feeders topped worked after the first couple of months. It also has to be on battery or electric so when the electricity goes out it stops working. I am so disappointed, so we are back to leaving a humongous bowl of food out. We do leave her for up to a wake at a time. Thank heavens my automatics littler box seems to be a Trojan house! Good luck

I think it has a 1-year warranty but I threw everything out long ago. This thing lasted me 367 days and is so cheaply made it just isn't worth spending the time to package it up and sending it off for repair. You're better off getting a different brand; I got a Tetra to replace it.

I think this happens when a piece of kibble jams the dispenser. The motor is pretty weak, so it can jam easily and cause the Err. The only solution I found was to remove the batteries to reset the unit. Sometimes you need to clear the jamming kibble too. I've had three of these units and they have all eventually started giving this error message. One of the units stayed doing it after only a few weeks. After fighting with these unreliable feeders for several years, I finally spent the money for a better unit.. The one with the external timer and large diamond hopper on top. These units just don't work very well or last. I think this happens when a piece of kibble jams the dispenser. The motor is pretty weak, so it can jam easily and cause the Err.

You may want to send it back for a replacement. I myself, as well as my pet, love this feeder and I would recommend this feeder because not only is it a healthy way of feeding but it holds the right amount of food for my pet. The people who designed this feeder are very concerned about satisfaction and wellness of your pet.

Wow, I did not know about the warranty. Bummer. Mine stopped working too, so for $16 I bought another one... I can't live without it. I have 2. I noticed the price increase from $11.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email. Jim

Mine kept doing that over and over again and I was just about to send it back - I contacted the company and they offered me a label to ship it back to them so they could look at it - when we ended up changing our pet's food to a larger size kibble and now it seems to work pretty well. I think the error message means that it's getting jammed. That has happened to us a lot. It's better now, but it still won't feed on the program schedule, so we just press the buttons manually twice a day, which kind of defeats the purpose of the feeder. Not great quality.

I have no idea what the warranty is/ was. I expect it was a year or so. Our unit is still working perfectly, is very nicely designed, and several friends have indicated they'll likely be buying one as well. I would have no concern about the warranty.
