First impression
By Joseph Mirabella on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024
Okay so as for my first impression and having this product for the first 24 hours. I love it, I love how easy it is to set up, I love the LED display, and I love the functionality of it. There was definitely a learning curve for my two cats, one of them was confused but got it quickly, my younger one(1yo). My older one (8) was scared of it at first but after some persuasion and the use of wet food he came around and my now he is pretty good. First morning also that my cats were not screaming at me an hour before I wanted to get out of bed which was the BEST part. Only thing I hope to see change, maybe they might make a software update for it but the LED display only allows for one setting of when to be on and off. I would love for me to be able to change it so the display is on and off day by day and not as one set time crime. Not worth removing a star cause the function and my quality of life has improved in the first day. No screaming cats. I’ll come back in a month or two to update. But as of right now, it’s well worth the money. Oh and 3 liter capacity is really nice too. Oh and it also will stop if it detects there’s too much food cause it backs up the port it comes out. Which is nice cause it prevents jamming from getting worse or breaking. As of now if you got the money and the need, this is worth it.

Good feeder; not pet-proof
By SW on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024
On the whole, we like the feeder. It's easy to set up, and delivers small portions. The collar sensor works great. At a glance it's perfect for letting our little cat eat in peace without the big cats butting in. If you have multiple pets who are all well behaved, this is a great option. .. If your pets are well behaved you probably don't need the $150 feeder. Our cats are out to test the build quality of this thing, and from day one it has lost the battle. They pop the side barriers off from around the bowl area. It snaps into place, but can easily be popped right back out. They claw the lid from it's "latched" position. The very first day, they tore the silicon trim around the lid at the latch. Our little kitty has special prescribed kibbles, which is why we need the special feeder, to keep the big (punks) out of her bowl. Her kibbles are just small enough they get stuck in the little space where the lid should latch closed. I get multiple alerts a day that the lid can't close, and have to manually clear it. The big kitties have learned to just wait for the lid to not close completely, and pry it up easily. Which brings us to the buttons. They're not labeled; they're touching screen icons. We had to go out of town the first week; we had someone coming over daily to check on the critters and he had trouble with the feeder. I hadn't left the manual out (why would I?), and he couldn't immediately identify which icon does what. One of said buttons is a WI-FI RESET?!?! He thought that was the manual feed and instead of serving kibbles I lost all remote connection to the machine AND IT CLEARED OUT THE FEEDING SCHEDULE. My cat did not receive her scheduled feedings for four days before we figured that out. There's plenty of room on the face to add keywords. I guess I'm hitting it with the label maker. (That reset button needs to be in back or below with the batteries.) Oh, and the touchscreen buttons? Thank goodness one is a long press lock/unlock, because I've heard one of the cats tap them while trying to break in. It's only a matter of time until she figures it out. Aaaand hope she doesn't lose the collar 'cause you only get the one tag. The dispenser itself works as well as the $50 dispenser we now use for the other cats. It may not have Wi-Fi and a fancy display, but it does have its feeding schedule programmed directly into the machine. TLDR: very pretty feeder, not very durable. Functions as well as cheaper models, but needed the collar/chip option. Making it work.
