Hi. When you remove the bowls, there are holes. I like that because it makes things very easy to clean.

I't very easy to clean because the two metal bowls just drop down into open holes which each have a little thumb indentation so getting the bowls out is easy; to me it's a great set-up.

It's just a hole that they sit in and very easy to keep clean. We have two sets and have been very happy with them. We used to have wooden feeders and very unsanitary and difficult to keep clean.

Hello, its a hole . No plastic supporting it. It has been fairly easy to keep clean.

To your first question. Nope. You could remove both bowls and just feed in the plastic formed cups if you want, but it's easier to just clean the metal bowls. To your second question, nope. Super easy to remove the top portion. It just snuggly sits on the bottom half.

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)

The food bowl is optional and removable. The water "bowl" is permanently attached.

I leave mine outside all the time, wash the bowls and fill with fresh food & water. Have not had any problems.

The bowl is stainless steel and is not removable. In fact, the top of the machine is all one piece with the bowl shaped out of that single piece. It's not hard to clean though. Pour in some warm soap water, scrub clean with a soft sponge, and then use the sponge to get the water out. Wipe dry when you're done.

I just wipe mine down. Occasional I have to break it completely apart and clean the inside/outside of the plastic, but not a big deal. Overall I have been very please with this purchase.

You have to remove it. You can purchase additional bowls for multiple recipes, replace them, etc... It's not internal.

Ok, I'm really bewildered here. Y'all are saying the newer models have a flap to prevent this. But mine is only about a month old, and it doesn't have this flap. It would be great if it did - one of my cats can get food all day/night, and it's not helping with the portion control idea. She's just eating all the time. I'm trying to think of a makeshift way of adding my own, but why is it that some of you have one actually included on yours?

As far as I can tell, all the parts are metal. However, I have never opened the machine to expose its inner parts. This machine is a bit larger than the regular model. It is ideal if you want to place it under your cabinets because it does not have to tilt up to remove the bowl.

Its a lid that lifts. Inside theres a container that you put food in. All removable. Hand wash only materal I believe.

I attached the bowl by using velcro on the back of the bowl where it hits the feeder, under the chute. That way I can still detach the bowl for cleaning.

no the base is not removable...I have had mine about 6 months and no leaks have occurred yet...and no water has collected beneath it...I do not recommend red sauce and microwave use...I tried this and the bowl was discolored light red inside...although it can hold anything with red sauce and not get discolored as long as it is not microwaved...I hope this helps...all and all I love this bowl and this brand...I also got the plates and the bowls as well as the omelette maker...

With the previous version of this I had that same problem. I just put a good-sized piece of clear packing tape on the underside to hold the bowl against the feeder. Problem solved. :)

It's made of a flexible rubberized plastic. Reminds me of the collapasable bowls you can use in the kitchen. It fits on the bottom great and cleans up easy. I definitely recommend it over the plastic bags.

The bowl part fits into the legs after you put that together. Making it removable and easy for cleaning.
