Does this come with an attachment that will allow multiple cats to eat at the same time?
Answer by Alba • Apr 05, 2022
No it does not but my cats eat together at the same time just fine
Figuring up the total amount I feed my cat it would be 72ml per day, Inactive cat with joint issue, so I want to keep it at its lower end of weight range. I want to feed the cat twice a day. Can I set up different portion sizes for each meal, i.e. 2 24ml in morning and 1 24ml at night
Answer by Chewy • Apr 08, 2018
Food portions per meal can be changed with the settings display.
Does this retain schedule & voice recording if power shuts off & it has batteries in as back up? IF NOT, will if beep to notify that the machine needs resetting?
Answer by Chewy • Jan 05, 2018
This Feeder will do a factory reset if power is completely lost and not restored within a few minutes. If left without any power source it will need to be reprogrammed once power is restored.
How do you set the time on the machine after you set the meal time.
Answer by Chewy • Jul 20, 2017
To set the time, 1. Press the SET button. The hour digits will flash. 2. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to find the current hour and press SET again to save. 3. Once hour is saved, the minute digits will flash. 4. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to find the current minute and press SET again to save and enter Meal Time Setting Mode.

Only last one year

This week I noticed problems with the clock and because of that is not dispensing the food. I came here to read the comments to see if someone else had experienced the same and maybe found a solution. And like all the other bad reviews/comments after more than 1 year the clock stopped working. I bought this on August 2021 and after 1 1/2 is stop working. It does seem suspicious that everyone is having the same problem after 1 year. Do not waste your money on this! Things do not last for ever but this was not cheap at all, I thought at least it would last minimum 3 years.

Worked great for 7 months

I found it easy to program, and it did work great for 7 months. It was very liberating to not worry about feedings. It's erroring out on the current time suddenly and it won't reset. It isn't dispensing food anymore because it has no concept baseline to work with. We'll be trying a different brand next time.

Keeps jamming

Not a reliable unit to keep your pets feed. Do not buy!!! It keeps jamming which prevents the automatic feeder from dropping food. It doesn't even alert you!! You only find out because your cat is SUPER hungry. I use dry kibble, just as instructed, too. Such an awful feeling to rely on this product to keep your pets feed while you're gone only to find out it malfunctions on a regular basis.

Not Perfect, But Works

Bought this a couple years ago for my cat, and this unit still works well. I especially like that the bowl portion is detachable and easily washable if needed. It also runs for a decent amount of time just on batteries, which is nice. However, there's a few things I think it could improve on: - The internal clock in the unit is slightly fast; over time, the schedule has been thrown off (ex. Food is set to dispense at 5 PM in the feeder; food dispenses at 4:45 PM in real time.) - Feeder needs to be slightly tilted so that food falls to the front of the bowl; occasionally the food builds up in front of the opening and gets stuck. That, and my cat thinks the bowl is empty if the food isn't more spread out in the bowl. - Larger dry food pieces tend to jam the machine, but a quick tilt and shake of the feeder usually fixes this. All in all, not quite worth the price given some of the issues, but it works for what I need.

Jams all the time

I have tried a couple different dogfood brands in this auto feeder . It constantly jams , errors out and does not dispense food. Poor pupper winds up starving when I am out of town. This unit is unreliable

Best Feeder

Easy set up and an easy clean. I love that you can record your own sound for feeding time. Only thing I wish they included was a guide for the feeding portions. Other than refilling food and the occasional cleaning, it is completely hands-free. I have no worries going away for a weekend or longer that my cat will be unfed. D batteries (3) not included; however, it does run off a plug if you choose.

clock quit working after 1 year, POOR QUALITY

enjoyed this feeder while it worked, it looks nice. However, the clock quit working and the automatic feeder will no longer function. AVOID THIS POOR QUALITY FEEDER.

Worked for 20 months until it didn't

We ordered this March 2021 to get our cat to stop waking us up at 5 am for breakfast and it was great for a while. But now weirdly, it won't dispense on the programmed times and the clock seems to be glitchy and slowing down. I can still go down and manually dispense portions, but that kinda defeats the purpose. I can't imagine if that had happened while we were away overnight so I'll be replacing with another brand.

Stopped working after 3 months

I purchased this in June and in September, the automatic feeder continuously jams, requiring me to unjam by lifting the food container to clear the 1 or 2 pieces of food that gets loose and having to reset it.

I'd give negative stars if I could

Don't waste your money. I spent more money on these than I would have a dog sitter and I still had to pay someone to come feed the dogs. It always seems that 1 or 2 of them aren't working. And it is rarely the same ones. Do yourself a favor and don't buy these. If I could send them back I would. I used them for 2 weeks and they started malfunctioning less than a week into use.
