I’ve used the JBL one shown and it’s very good, but I changed to the Apex feeder when I got Apex, and it’s much better but also more expensive

If I didn’t have Apex I would buy another JBL if that helps.

Exactly the sort of experience based opinion I was hoping for this should be helpful to anyone considering and auto feeder for there tank.
Thanks.

been using Eheim (daily feeding) for several years without any issue. One thing with Eheim is the feeder doesn't drop food directly below, have to place it a little off centered or else some food ends up on the tank cover.

I bought this one when we went on vacation.
[2018 Edition] FSLabs Digital Automatic Fish Feeder for Aquarium, Fish Tank Vacation, Weekend Fish Food Dispenser Batteries Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKFNP6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_63uaCbWRDAXZJ
It seem to work perfectly fine. The only thing is since the pellets I use are so small I had to place a strip of tape on the lowest setting to block some of the gap so it didn’t spill in like 200 pellets. But that might be any auto feeder with how small the pellets are.
