Just looking for some opinions and feedback about which is the best automatic fish feeder people have used. Please leave your recommendations or negative feedback about any ones you may have used.

Only ever used the Eheim ones and currently use two (two different sizes of pellet food).

Tricky to get amount adjusted right but once you do they seem pretty good. I suspect adjusting quantity would be tricky on any unit that did not use weight to decide how much to dispense. Not sure if there are any that use weight. They conveniently sit on top of my LEDs.

I probably would have got the double one if I had not discovered its existence after I purchased the first single one.

I have the Neptune AFS. It easy to program and is easy to adjust.... But it is NOISY. If your running an apex it incorporates seamlessly.

I've got both the Apex AFS and the Lifgauard Aquatics Intellifeed. both are the same as function, looks, and concept but you can feel the difference in material/build quality between the two. I'm happy with both either way.

Are any of the ones mentioned good for pellet food? Because pellets will be what I use for the feeder.

I've used both single and dual chamber Eheims and they both work great.
I do NLS pellets

I use an Eheim. Pretty simple to operate. The time seems to be a little faster than all my other clocks but no bid deal
