Is it easy to set the timer correctly?

Hi. Yes. It's very easy. However, let me tell you that my C50 did not last very long. It just stopped working and I didn't even have a year, so I was quite disappointed. It might have just been a lemon. The smaller version (double trays) C-20 are the ones that I have had the longest and I'm currently using. So I just bought 2 C-20s. For the smaller version, you just have to turn it to the amount of hours you want to lid to open. i.e. 6 hr. away from the current time, then just set to 6. I hope that helps.

Yes- you just count from the current time- example: current time is 7:15am and you want the feeder to open at 11am, so you start the count on 8:15am, 9:15am, 10:15am - 11:15am. That's 4 hrs but because there's a 15 min difference, i usually set the time 3.5 hrs - just because my two cats are impatient creatures. Hope that helps.

It was pretty simple, and it's good for up to 4 conscutive days, then it has be reset.

I also have the cat mate C20 which is very easy. The C50 did not work for me at all. I had to return it.

Extremely easy. You set the timer for the number of hours till you want it to open. Couldn't be easier!

Hi Laura, It took me awhile to figure out how to set the timer. (I actually had to read the instructions!) But now it's no problem! Hope this helps, Sarah

The timer is easily set howeverit is almost impossible to get an accurate time. I find myself setting it past the 6am line and it still opens between 4:30 and 5:15.

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

I have programmed it, which is easy to do but have not used it yet. It has a lot of nice features, which a lot of the inexpensive timers don't have, and if it holds up should work well. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

Yes. Just push the "Start Stop/Enter" button once. When you are ready to start it again, then press that button again and the timer will continue where it left off.

I believe the timer is easy to set and operate. It has a touch pad to set the volume, one to set the time and one to stop and clear. The time screen is the largest I have seen on any timer. After showing her initially, I don't believe she will have a problem. I love mine!

In a word, YES. This timer is very easy to program and the numbers are large, however you will need to keep it near you, because it is not that loud, especially if you have other things making noise.

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

yes, there are 15 minute increments on the timer so you can set it for however you want to come on or off. If you do not want to use the timer you turn them all to the off position. The dial is the timer you have to switch them all to the off position

No, the timer is preset. No fancy option to change. And I'd be careful with purchasing this. Our stopped working after just a few weeks.

Yes this is possible. The timer includes instruction booklet that walks you through setup. Once setup it will keep your settings until you cancel

Yes you can by taking advantage of the fact that the device actually has 4 individual timers. You would set timer 1 at 4 hours, timer 2 at 8 hours, and timer 3 at 12 hours.

Very easy. I just changed the clock (spring forward) and made an adjustment to the seconds counter. Very simple to do.

Hi, we have not had any issues with our timer. Best of luck getting it working correctly.

I set as many timers as I need and then I activate them one at a time or in seriatim or all at the same time. I am not certain this answers your question.

Yes you can set a timer on this model. Very simple push menu and timer on and off and set the time

No. The timer has a 24 hour dial so it will only turn on / off once or twice per day. Sounds like you need some sort of programmable timer.

Yes. The timer has 4 different timer settings. Timer 1 is the regular one that gets used the most. But, Timers 2, 3 and 4 can be programmed in memory so that you can recall the time every time you want to use it.See my other post, though. The first time this gets knocked off the counter, it's history.
