Let me start by saying this little device has been a game-changer for my aquarium routine. The Ycozy Automatic Fish Feeder is one of those products you don't realize you need until you try it.

The setup was surprisingly simple - just pop in the included batteries, choose between wall-mounting or using the adhesive sticker, and program your feeding schedule. I love that it offers up to 4 feedings per day with adjustable portion sizes. This flexibility means I can mimic my normal feeding routine even when I'm away for the weekend.

Where this feeder really shines is its moisture-proof design. Unlike my old feeder that would get clogged with damp food, the Ycozy keeps everything dry thanks to its smart positioning above the water line. The large door makes refilling a breeze (though some users report it can be tricky to remove - I found twisting gently while holding the base works best).

My fish seem happier with the consistent feeding schedule, and I've noticed cleaner water since switching from manual feedings where I might accidentally overfeed. The portion control slider works well once you find the sweet spot - though be warned it can sometimes slip if not set firmly.

The only real downside? You'll need to leave part of your tank lid open for dispensing. Also, while it handles flakes and pellets well, very fine powders might not dispense as reliably.

After three months of use (on the original batteries!), I can confidently say this $20 gadget has more than earned its keep. Whether you're a frequent traveler or just want more consistent feedings, the Ycozy feeder delivers where it counts.
