Auto feeder
Has there been any updates or changes to the AFS? In regards to the lid issue and dumping food?

There is no lid issue. The issue with them falling off is a user issue. I've had the AFS since it was released and never once have I had an issue removing the drum and my AFS is in a precarious spot too. You just need to be cognizant of the lid when you remove the drum and grasp the whole drum assembly and not just the lid.

That is good to hear, thank you.

Got the feeder on Thursday, everything mounted and programmed. Works great, easy to use, and shouldn't have any issues...thanks again.

The issue with the lids coming off is much to do about nothing. I am sure you can see how people who are careless would have that issue but if you know the feeder and pay even a little bit of attention when removing the drum, you will find it's a non issue. Like I said before, I've had it since it was first released and despite mine being in a precarious location, I've never once even come close to spilling the food when removing the drum.

I had one of the first ones, Pre-Order. I have dumped some food, before I learned that you MUST pull the container straight out. I have not dumped anything in over a year.
I like the unit so much (other than noise) I just ordered my second one. One for each side of the tank and different sized pellets. I use NLS 0.5mm in one and NLS 1.0mm pellets in the other. My second unit is noticeably quieter than the original. I don't know if my original was abnormally loud ( I thought it was and posted a youtube video about it ) or my new one is quieter. Whatever the case. The both work great and I am very happy with them.
