That TH machine looks like just a simple scatter feeder; 1 motor turning a spinning plate.
The thing that sets the expensive TH fish feeders apart is that it has a powerful motor turning a centrifugal blower which actuallly blows the pellets out.
That's where the other companies are missing the boat. If they can produce and sell similar devices as the FT100 for much less, then they can make a similar design as the top end TH and sell it at similar or more margins, regain a good reputation and not have so many pissed off ex customers.
Simply put, TH is making a killing due to having the only one of it's kind.
