Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: HAVE USED IT 7 MONTH NOW AND I NOW GIVE IT FIVE STARS FOR QUALITY AND FUNCTION. POOR INSTRUCTIONS REMAIN SAME THO. Just got this today. Well made sturdy item. The voice recording was cool. Accuracy was kinda off...I kept playing with portion sizes and it varied by a portion or two. Not too bad once all the meals were served. Major con was the instruction for setting the programmed meals. Talk about lack of instructions...spent an hour setting and resetting until I realized the very initial setting after the clock setting was what determines how many meals you can set afterwards. When the word "meal" FIRST comes up, make sure you press the up arrow until it shows all 1234 (if you wanted 4 total). That determines how many you can program. If you miss this step and think you can press "1" and do one meal setting at a time, you might as well cry and spend an hr like me wondering where the other three meal settings disappeared to. Directions say to hold down "setting" button to lock in your settings but that is only at the END when you are all done with all the meals. The directions made it seem like you do one at a time and then set. Once it is set, it is done. If you make a mistake, there is no backtracking. Reset and start over. If this works as set, then my cat will still be alive when I return from my trip... will update in a month.
