I wondered the same thing and emailed the company, they said to leave it in

The insert is removable, however, when I tried using it as a pitcher; using cover that comes with the pitcher, the cover does not screw on tightly enough to use as a pitcher. That was what I wanted to use it as, but alas, it does not work that way. I'm not sure if anyone else has had luck. Good luck with yours.

yes - set in bottom of the bowl, cover with water. We put a couple flat rocks on it - holds it down under the water's surface and looks a little more natural - the rocks stick up above the water. The unit won't float, but the cord might lift it off the bottom a bit.

Yes. The bowl is detachable. I actually have mine also feed into a pvc pipe funnel as well. Check out my review for a link to build a feeder box.

No lid----gravity holds the water in the bowl. Due to the design of the unit, the water level is NOT at the top of the blue bowl, so it does not spill over if used on a boat, car ride, or on your floor. I bring it to the dog park daily and it is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread! I have used it in car rides and on pontoon boat rides. You can also pack iced cubes in cavity to make for nice chilly treat for your dog or cat. Perfect for travel! David

I bought a tiny stainless steel dog dish... couple of dollars and it works well. Kind of weird idea though. Don't buy the ones with the rubber bottoms.

Somewhat on the large bowl but not on the small bowl. The small bowl did now come with mine. If I hadit to do over again, I would invest in a Kitchen Aid. Sorry, Sunbeam!!

Hi, I don't have my box anymore but ours just floats the way it is. My husband noticed that there is styrofoam on the under side of the rim that we think makes it float. I think it came that way though. I hope that helps.

No. I like this. It is easy to clean and I had no problems putting this together. A metal bowl fro their water was recommended by my Vet. I recommend this.

It is an open hole. The rim on the bowl is larger than the hole, so it is held up by the way it rests on the rim.

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 has a lip around the bottom which fits inside the bowl, effectively making it unable to slide off. May not fit as stable on an elongated commode - but works great on the round bowl.

No... The base is just a collar that allows the round bowl to sit upright. It doesn't cover the drainage holes in the bottom of the colander.

Yes, it comes w/ 2 properly fitting bowls. We like it a lot because there are hole cut outs underneath the bowls. Previous tall feeders we've had are solidly molded underneath & water, etc. collect & can become unsanitary if not checked daily. This one is easy to keep clean. Happy feeding!

The base is included, and the bowl part has a ring underneath to seat it on its base, so try it anyway, it is supercute altogether

the bowl should have the stem attached (glued) to it. the stem makes the blade go around. the lid to the bowl connects to the beater or immersible blender to make the whole system chop.

I have a feeding matt with a rubberized backing underneath the feeder and it stays in place. The bowl to the feeder is held pretty firmly by the feeder itself, but try setting the feeder on a matt with a rubberized backing. Hope this helps.
