Expensive, but works well. The divided bowl is inconvenient for cleaning.
At the time I bought this, it was the only available product that provides chip-based controlled access to cat food, and that's what I needed. It works perfectly. We have 2 cats, each of which are on different special diets. We bought 2 of these, set each one to read only one cat's chip, and it solved the problem of them getting into each other's food. However the included divided bowl (not microwave or dishwasher safe) is far less convenient that the two half-bowls that are available as a separate purchase. For our typical use, we use the divided bowls, with wet food on one side and dry food on the other. Which means having to empty the remaining dry food, washing the remaining wet food from the bowl, then replacing the dry food every feeding.
