I’ve been considering getting a cereal dispenser for about a month--ever since I got into eating breakfast cereals again after decades of ignoring them. This dispenser was fairly easy to put together. You really don’t need the instructions, but the instructions did let me know that the knob pulls out and so does the paddle so you can wash it easier.
The paddle by the way is rubber so the fins can bend a bit to accommodate different sizes of cereal, but I wouldn’t go too big or you will end up with more cereal dust than whole pieces. The support that holds the tank seems like it should snap into the base and be fixed, but it doesn’t and this allows the tank to move back and forth a little which I’m not fond of. I’m afraid it’s going to detach and make a huge mess.
That needs to be addressed in future models. The tank held nearly an entire 17 oz. box of cereal—Dunkin’ Caramel Macchiato in this case. I had to wiggle the handle back and forth a little to get the cereal to feed into the chute at first, but once it started, it worked like a charm. The opening of the chute is close to the base and finding an appropriate bowl is key. Removing the chrome drip tray allowed me to slip the bowl under the chute easier, allowed more cereal out and the indentation held the bowl in place.
The drip tray is really useless unless the indentation was made deeper. The cap that plugs the chute is a nice touch and keeps the cereal from going stale so soon. I don’t always remember to remove it until I notice no cereal in the bowl, but that’s on me. I love the way the dispenser looks on the counter. It makes me feel a bit like a kid again. Just a couple tweaks and it would be perfect.
Much smaller than stated in the description, and it does not have the "Honey can do" branding or any branding at all. Not what I ordered and will be returning.
I use it for dog food and I love it. It looks nicer than a bag of dog food on the counter. It comes with a plug so it keeps the kibble fresh. It also has good portion control and opening is big enough for the kibble to pass through easily.P.S. I added my dog’s name (Spyder) to the front so a human wouldn’t accidentally eat it. The machine comes blank and does not include labels.
I use this product every day to measure out ground coffee for my coffee maker. It sits on our counter and eliminates having to go to the closet for the can and then having to scoop/spoon out the proper amount of coffee. I thought the grounds might be too fine and slip past the dispensing paddles. I'm happy to report there is very little 'spillage'.
I put guacamole bites and plantain chips in mine and it dispenses perfectly! There is room for a large quantity of choice
These food dispensers are great! I love being able to fill it up and get rid of the boxes! FYI buying 3 individually was a ton cheaper than buying the 3 in one!Came quickly and in perfect condition!
