Automatic Cat Feeder, 5G WiFi Automatic Dog Food Dispenser with Freshness Preservation, 5L Timed Pet Feeder with Low Food Sensor, Up to 10 Meals Per Day, Granary Black

It does its function well. The app is easy to set up and set a schedule. It might seem like a lot at first, but after you have it scheduled you think "that's it?" It comes with a metal bowl inside a plastic bowl. The metal bowl is lower capacity, for smaller animals, which makes noise when the food hits it, and the underlying plastic bowl is bigger.My cat was afraid of it the first time or two (it does make a grinding/whirring noise when dispensing), but then started getting excited when he heard the food being dispensed (except for the fact that it wasn't me dispensing it). It even lets you record your own announcement that the food is being dispensed. It has button controls, which I haven't tried extensively, but I think you really want the app for setting schedules and such. The app does give them the opportunity to "inform" you of their other offerings, but they're not persistent about it; it triggers at certain points in the app, but only once (from what I've seen after about a month of use). It doesn't show other ads (and if they add external ads, I will stop using it and severely drop the rating of this review). It will bug you to replace the dessicant packet once it's time, though.For those that need it, it can be set to dispense up to 4 cups at a time. I don't think the bowl it comes with could hold that much. For under a cup, it sets by 1/12 of a cup, which lets you set it right for "grazers" if you want/need; I haven't tried it, but I understand you can set it to dispense up to 10 times per day.Downsides:When closing the lid, it requires a specific position for the lock tabs to drop, and then you turn again to lock. This can lead to a lot of spinning the lid to close itThe announcement speaker is very low quality. The first time I heard my custom announcement, it just sounded like a scratchy blob. Turning the volume up helps a bit, but max volume is still pretty quiet. In a time when you can get a cheap Bluetooth speaker that's better than the boom boxes of yore, it's hard to imagine that they couldn't find a half-way decent speaker that doesn't cut profits to a noticeable degree.The stock announcements are very matter-of-fact, and not how anyone would call a cat or dog for food. There's a man and a woman, and it sounds like they didn't know why they were saying the line; it's more like they're telling you to feed them, rather than calling the animal. This is something that they could fix with an update, and I hope they do. I think it would be a plus if there were multiple to choose from, each calling/telling the animal in different ways. I think it would make it more fun for a lot of people. They just need to be recorded by pet owners.Getting it to use the custom announcement took a few tries. It'll upload to the machine and show a checkmark, and you'll think it's done, but you need to tap that checkmark until a green icon covers it. It has to send the recording, and then the setting, to the feeder via Bluetooth, so it's possible that it might not happen right the first time.--If I could give it an honest number of stars, it would probably be 4.7 or 4.8. I think it's a great machine and would definitely buy again.

I've been using this PETLIBROautomatic feeder for a while now, and it has been absolutely fantastic. It works great, completely does its job, and has made our daily feeding routine so much easier.The scheduled voice recording is easily my favorite feature. I set it up for mealtimes, and the second my dog hears my voice over the speaker, he instantly sprints to the feeder from wherever he is in the house.On top of that, setting the feeder up was a breeze. The app makes it incredibly simple to program the exact times for feeding and easily adjust the food portions whenever I need to change the settings.If you are looking for a reliable, easy-to-use automatic feeder that keeps your pet on a perfect schedule, I highly recommend this one!

This is the first automatic feeder I have owned and it is GREAT! love how easy it is to schedule feedings. Provides A LOT of peace of mind that my sweet kitty is getting properly fed when I am away. Very durable and affordable. I had some trouble with initial setup but customer service responded quickly.

I bought two—one for each kitty. One was to go under a stairway and the other in a nook just over 12” high. More on this detail in a moment. I must say these are nice looking and seem to be high quality. The setup with WiFi was straightforward and simple, however both units required a reset (which was just a couple of buttons and no big deal. It just seemed odd that both units required it. Now, as for that nook: despite my better judgement looking at the photos online the product description said the units were 11.54” tall. THEY ARE NOT. They’re closer to 13” which means I blew money having an electrician install an outlet in that nook. This was really annoying. That said, ours was a pretty specialized application, so if you don’t have such a height restriction I recommend this product.

I got this feeder for my daughter's little feline princess to make life easier for all involved parties. Feline Princess cannot free feed because she doesn't know when to stop, so we had to set her up on a meal schedule. The comings and goings of the humans is different day to day due to work schedules, school schedules, and just life in general. Feline Princess does not understand that the humans aren't always awake or home when she decides she's been starving long enough and starts demanding her food. My sister has used this feeder for her 3 cats and recommended it for our Feline Princess. It was easy to set up, works really well, and has a lot of customization options as far as number, timing, and size of meal offerings. It holds a decent amount of cat food and doesn't take up much space in my daughter's room. Feline Princess no longer has to starve past her meal time and the humans don't have to worry about coming home to a hangry cat.All humor aside, this is a really convenient addition to our cat-owning lives. Cat gets fed whether we're home, awake, or just busy getting other things done around the house. I would buy this automatic cat feeder over and over again if I needed to!

I have five cats and five feeders. I use them to make it easier for myself and so I can program them to feed my cats before my dog wakes up in the morning and after he goes to sleep at night. Otherwise, my dog eats all their food. I thought the feeders would be good for a weekend trip away, but I don’t trust them for that. Last night I just happened to look at the app and noticed none of the feeders were online. I thought that was strange so I started trying to figure out why and noticed the app was not working at all. I made the mistake of un binding one feeder so I could reconnect it to the app to see if I could get it to go back online and that is how I knew the app was down. I could not get the feeder set back up in the app or any of them to reconnect to the Wifi. The feeders will still feed even though they lose Wi-Fi connection, but you just can’t tell in the app, which would be kind of scary if I weren’t home. I woke up this morning and the app was working again and the feeders were connected again, and I was able to pair the one that I unbinded, but still, if I were away, I would not have known for sure if my cats were being fed. Other than that, the feeders work fine and really help with scheduled feedings.

I have been on a roll reviewing a lot of cat related products lately, but this PETLIBRO automatic cat feeder has honestly been the most useful and brilliant one so far. The setup process was very simple. All I had to do was plug it into the outlet, connect it to WiFi, and pair it with the app. Once connected, everything became extremely easy to control.The app is probably my favorite part because it gives you full control over feeding times and portion sizes. You can choose exactly when you want food to come out and how much food gets dispensed. It will not release food unless you set it to, which makes it very reliable and convenient.One feature that really stood out to me is the voice function. When the feeder dispenses food, it can announce that it is mealtime, and you can even choose how many times the message repeats so your cat hears it clearly. What makes it even cooler is that you can record your own voice instead of using the default message. I was able to say my cat’s name and call him over for food, which made the experience feel much more personal.Another really smart feature is the indicator light on the feeder. If the food level gets too low, the button glows red to let you know it needs to be refilled. That is such a helpful detail and shows that a lot of thought went into the design of this product.One thing I do want to mention for new users is that during the first couple of feeding cycles, the portions might not come out perfectly exact. It may release a little more or a little less food than what you selected at first. Do not panic or think something is wrong with the feeder. That only happened because the product was freshly set up. After using it a couple more times, it started dispensing the portions accurately and has worked perfectly ever since.Overall, this feeder feels modern, convenient, and very well designed. It has made feeding my cat so much easier, especially on busy days, and I genuinely think this is one of the best pet products I have purchased.

I have this machine for five month and it is mostly great , reliable and the app is great to use. The big downside is that the "low food" indication has stopped working after a couple of weeks.It's quite noisy when it pushes out food but it doesn't bother anyone here.

Edit: Increase rating base on Petlibro wonderful consumer service. Brought up the issue to the original company and after reviewing the video to prove it was the base that was the issue, Petlibro sent me a replacement base. I just got it and it is working so far. Crossing fingers it last more than 2 years.Original: After 6 month of use (and it wasn’t set to go off everyday either), the motor is dead. I keep getting an error message on the app saying the motor is stuck and to clean out the feeder but that’s not the issue. I’ve tried cleaning the machine out and it’s not a food blockage. The motor just won’t turn anymore. I've tried gently turning the motor manually and it won’t budge. There’s no way to open the machine to look under the motor to see if there’s an issue too. Very disappointing. The feeder isn’t cheap either

I had initially thought that this was 6 packs of 4 each. But it's just 6 items in the pack for almost £20. I doubt that this costs more than 20p to manufacture. And they want you to replace them every 2 weeks!

Früher - Sonntag 7.00Uhr - Katze schreit und tritt in mein Gesicht, ich völlig übermüdet und fange an jede Lebensentscheidung, welche zur Katze geführt hat, zu bereuen.Heute - Sonntag 7.00Uhr - ich schlafe tief und fest, mit einem leichten Lächeln im Gesicht und die Katze frisst und schlüpft zum kuscheln wieder unter die DeckeIch will nicht zu hoch pokern aber der Automat rettet Familien.Wenn man nach einer stressigen Arbeitswoche einfach mal schlafen darf, hat man vielleicht wie ich manchmal absolut keine Energie mehr um frühmorgens aus dem Schlaf gerissen zu werden und dann mit einem Lächeln das Futter zu präsentieren.Das war nicht gut für mich und die kleine Katze sollte ihren Rythmus auch nicht immer ändern müssen.Und da kam der Futterautomat in unser Leben!Und ich kann es allen nur ans Herz legen, geregelte Futterzeiten, man kann auch mal zur gewohnten Zeit weg sein ohne ein schlechtes Gewissen zu haben bzw sein Tier hungrig sein zu lassen.Der Automat ist super leise und wirklich hochwertig und schön.Appverbindung ist leicht und funktioniert toll, so kann man auch von unterwegs füttern oder feste Zeiten aus Plan anlegen.Der einzige Kritikpunkt wäre das wirklich erst wenn quasi schon kein Essen mehr da ist, die Meldung kommt, dass nachgekauft werden muss (etwa bei 30/40gr Rest) - aber einen Stern abziehen will ich dennoch nicht, da ich einfach begeistert bin.ALSO:Keine Lust mehr auf lästiges abmessen des Futters mehr via kleinen Bechern - ZACK Futterautomat!Keine Lust mehr auf früh aufstehen wenn man schlafen will - ZACK Futterautomat!Fütterung zu gewohnten Uhrzeiten zum Wohl der Katze - ZACK Futterautomat!Benachrichtigung wenn das Futter zu Ende geht - ZACK Futterautomat!Handyapp weil wir eine digitale Gesellschaft sind - ZACK Futterautomat!Katze glücklich - Mensch glücklich - ZACK Futterautomat!

I have been using this feeder for over a year without any issue. It is reliable and makes life easier when I have to go out. It it is easy to setup, compliant with 5 ghz wifi. I wish it would notify me when food is low (notifies only when running out of food), but other than that, I am definitely happy with my purchase!
