Cheaply made but a decent design.
Let's break down exactly what this thing is. It's a small clock motor, similar to what you'd find in any cheap wall clock. I was confused at first because it even has the time-setting dial on the back and I thought it had to be adjusted somehow, but it doesn't. It runs on one AA battery which is included. The small camshaft on the front is fitted with the plastic ball, once you've filled it with food and reassembled it. The ball is slightly tricky - it's made of a more rigid plastic than I expected and there are multiple warnings in the instructions not to break the three clips that hold it together. The problem is, it feels brittle and all too easy to break. Once you've got it open, filling it is fiddly. I jostled one half and ended up with food all over my desk. The best way to fill it is to take the half with the mounting hole in it and set it on something soft so it won't roll around, fill with food, then set the funnel into it using the guide pip to line it up. Again, you have to be careful snapping it back together that you don't bump it and spill food everywhere, or misalign it and break one or more of the clips. Mounting was not as simple as portrayed, either. If you have a tank that has a plastic lip at the top, you won't be able to mount this directly to it. The clearance for the mount is only 1/4" or so, so unless you're using a container without a lip you'll need to use the rail kit which makes it a lot bulkier. The rail kit slides into a piece that's closed in the clamp easily enough and sits atop the opening of the tank. When mounted on the rails, the way the food turns it can bounce off of the rails so don't put it too close to the edge of the tank on the right side or the food could bounce out instead of going in the water. The clock motor turns the ball, which scoops the food and then distributes it. I found it really funny that the instructions remind you over and over again to only use food that floats, but when I put a few pellets of the enclosed sample food into the tank to see if my bettas would like it, it immediately sank. I have two other brands of pellet food and neither sinks as badly as the stuff included with the Bettamatic. The pellets were also quite large and one of my females didn't seem to like it as it was too big for her mouth. I'd recommend the Hikari Betta Bio-Gold Baby Pellets for small-mouthed fish, they love those and I'd think more would get into the tank. With the enclosed food only a few pellets get scooped up. So overall not a bad product, but with some quality control along with improvement in design and materials this could be a great product. I'd like to see the clamp made more versatile so it can be mounted on tanks with a plastic lip, and the ball made easier to open, close, and fill. It's a lot better than those feeder pellets for weekend maintenance.

My fish is still alive which is the entire point
I've waited to make this review in order to make sure it actually did its job which was to keep my fish alive. And, success! For specifics: because of the varying reviews, I ordered this well before my vacation because I wanted to test that it actually dispersed the food on a daily basis and to see how many pellets would be dispersed. What I found is that it dropped food about 90% of the time and dropped around 3-4 pellets at a time. This was using the included food packets. I have my own pellets which are slightly smaller and so I tested that next. Because of the smaller size, it dropped many more pellets, around 5-6. This is too much food for a Betta. That was one of my concerns so I moved back to the larger pellets. We were going to be gone for 2 weeks and the little ball is big enough to hold well above that amount. With some trepidation, we left on vacation. And I was thrilled to return to find a happily swimming little fish. I have continued to use the automatic feeder because it drops at the same time every day and keeps things consistent. However, I'm not a huge fan of the provided food. It tends to cause constipation after several days (identified by an enlarged belly which can throw off the fish's balance). So in order to avoid this, I remove the feeder for 1-2 days about once every week or so. I actually read from some other Betta parents that this is good to do anyway. One other small complaint is the plastic food ball is pretty fragile. Be extremely careful with the little latches on the sides of the ball - they are very thin plastic. Also, the place where the ball attaches to the motor already has a fine crack in it and I've only used it for a couple months. It does not impact functionality but is a point of annoyance. If you are wondering how it works, I would describe it as similar to a travel alarm clock. It's battery operated on a 24-hour cycle. The feeding time depends on when and in what portion you attach the ball. It's not hard to figure out how to adjust the time once you've watched it work. Overall, this thing can't be beat for the price. It did its job and is still working fine.

You will need to alter it, but at least your betta won't starve
TL;DR - You will need to alter the feeder, but you can make it work. I was going to be gone, for a week and a half, and did not have anyone to come feed my son's betta. I looked into some of the auto-feeders, but the reviews for all of them (including this one) said they fed way too many pellets. I was running out of time, to come up with a solution, so I went ahead and purchased this one. You would think, since this feeder is supposed to be specifically for bettas, that it would be designed to feed the correct amount of food for a betta. A betta's stomach is only about as big as its eyeball. You are only supposed to feed them about 2 pellets per day. When I received this feeder, I put the food in it, put it together, and set it over a bowl, to test it out. I had a few days, before I needed to leave. Unaltered, it was dropping approximately 8 pellets at a time (once per day). If you were feeding 4 betta, that would be fine. But, since you can't keep more than one (male) betta in a tank, I don't think anyone would have that need. If you are feeding one betta 8 pellets per day, you are going to kill it, by overfeeding it. My solution was to take a little capri-sun type of straw, and stick it into the feeding chute. I pushed it in, enough to cover part of the hole, which the food pellets fall into, to be dispensed each day. It wasn't a perfect solution. Some days, it would drop 4 pellets, others none, and others 2 (I was able to simulate more days than I had, by manually adjusting the ball). I was worried that my son's betta would be dead, when I returned from vacation, and he would be heart-broken. Fortunately, the fish was alive. So, I give this 3 stars, for not killing the fish, even though it isn't correctly designed to do the job it is supposed to do.

Neat bit of kit
Purchased for short trips away from home to ensure my betta fish doesn't go hungry. A little fiddly to fill and close the dispensing ball and I have had to try out various betta pellet sizes to see which work best. A sample packet of Zoo Med Micro floating betta pellets arrived with the feeder (plus a sachet of water conditioner... nice!) The pellets provided seem a little too big for the scoop part of the dispenser, but there is a small plastic tag that can be snapped off to allow the feeder to scoop up the bigger pellets more easily. Smaller pellets (such as Betta Bio-Gold) seem to be scooped up more readily, but I think using these may result in over feeding over long periods. Please note, I don't think this feeder is suitable for flake food. The expanding "bowl adapter" (included) is an excellent idea. Will fit right across smaller bowls, but for my Marina 360, I fix it on to the central light bar. With a bit of fiddling, you can ensure that that the pellets dispense into the water through the open part of the aquarium lid.

No, better look somewhere else.
... It seemed to have done the trick while on vacation, but the food ended up everywhere on the desk. (Used with Fluval Chi) Hard to control, setup and overall very flimsy made. Not happy with this product at all.

don't buy. looks good idea on paper but not proper testing done to make the product work
the feeder does not work automatically. its basically a feeder attached to a clock. It rotates but the feeder does not collect the pellets in the cone shaped opening. if you manually try to shake it a bit then it works. not enough testing is done to make the shape of feeder such that it can work in a predictable fashion, may or may not work if decide to purchase. Also be wary of trying it out as this item though on amazon prime is not eligible for return. You might get a good piece if you are lucky. But if not, you are stuck with it.

Mieux que rien
Ce distributeur a une distribution de petites billes pour betta plus que fantaisiste (au passage aliment non fournies contrairement à ce qui est indiqué dans le descriptif). Ça marche avec Attison’s Betta pour ma part mais c’est Max 2 ou 3 par jour (Je vais faire une tentative « à suivre » en en mettant plus dans le récipient…). A noter aussi que le récipient est très fragile (s’ouvre délicatement avec un ongle entre les deux parties). Du coup, compte tenu de la fragilité et de la distribution pour le moins chaotique, privilégier une utilisation occasionnelle comme pendant des vacances.
