 Our favorite puzzle food toy July 27, 2010
Sinister Stairs (Michigan, USA)
We also have the Kong Wobbler and Buster Cube Mini, and this is our favorite of the three -- it slots in between the other two.
The Kong is the most convenient for us because it holds the most food and requires the least amount of room to play with. Because it doesn't roll like the Buster cubes, however, it doesn't challenge him as much / he finishes eating from it the fastest.
The mini cube holds the least food and it takes a LONG time for us to get all our dog's food into it, but it definitely challenges him the most. However, because of its small size, it also gets stuck underneath furniture. Our dog has gotten progressively smarter about avoiding those obstacles, but usually I'll have to dig it out for him once or twice a meal.
We just got the full-size Buster cube, and it's right in the middle: For our purposes, it holds as much food as the Wobbler; it's almost as easy to load up with food; and dialed down to the min setting, it's still challenging for our dog. The large size means it doesn't get stuck underneath furniture, so we can just walk away while he plays/eats.
Of the three products, this was the best fit for us in terms of our convenience and challenge for our medium-sized puppy.
[Incidentally, our full-size cube was blue, while the mini was red.]
Works as I had hoped!! July 25, 2010
Jessie Bogley (Kuna, ID)
I bought this toy for my border collie who is too intelligent for his own good. He took to it immediately rolling it all over the carpet getting his treats. I can understand the reviews about it not working on other surfaces as it probably would just slide around the floor. The toy allows the opening to go from min-max so I started it out on max to get him excited about it. Then I put it on minimum and he rolled it around for quite some time. Although the treats came out pretty quickly, because he was very aggressive about rolling it, it seemed to tire him out pretty well. Even when all the treats are gone he occasionally goes back to it to see if there is anything in it and roll it around a bit. I like that it is hard because he destroys all types of toys pretty quickly therefore this seems to be pretty indestructible. Granted he can't get his mouth around it because it is the large size. FYI, I have an English Pointer who does not understand how to use it. He will roll it once and walk away because there isn't instant gratification. So for breeds that are not every tenacious or quick learners this is probably not the best toy.
Food Cube for Large Dogs July 24, 2010
Lab Lover
I have purchased this cube before, about 14 years ago for my Labrador. My new Lab. puppy is entertained for at least 20 minutes or as long as he gets treats out, I would say it works best for Labs. 4 months -about 2 years old. It works best for large breed dogs and those who are food orientated. Labs. love this toy and it stimulates their minds as well.
AMAZING! July 20, 2010

I bought this toy for my very destructive beagle mix. The goal was to be able to leave him out in my bedroom during the day instead of crating him. Mission Accomplished! I give him his breakfast in this cube every morning when I leave for work, and come back to an 11 month old puppy asleep in his bed. Nothing destroyed. This toy more than serves its purpose, and he loves it!
Cons:
Loud on tile or wood (I have carpet)
Hard to open at first...but easy if you twist using your left hand, not your right
 Too Bad July 20, 2010
K. HIGA (Las Vegas, Nevada United States)
Too Bad it cannot be opened so you can clean the inside of the cube. My dog loved this cube but the residue from the kibbles eventually builds up and starts to smell rancid. I ended up having to throw it away. If they could make it so you can clean it, it would have definitely gotten five stars.
