had to get an automatic feeder because my cat couldn’t go overnight without food - even if i fed her right before bed and right when i woke up, she would be too hungry, eat breakfast too fast and throw up. so i got this to feed her every 6 hours. it’s great, only issue is if you bump it, food will fall out. my cat figured this out so now she just attacks it all day to get more food. so it’d be much better if it had some sort of anti-food-falling-out-on-attack feature, but other than that it’s been really convenient to have.

The control interface on the feeder is not user friendly and I found it difficult to set times and amounts of food. Additionally, the clock gets very slow and ends up feeding my cat 30 minutes to an hour later than originally scheduled.

Honestly, this is a great invention... my cats have always attacked my husband and I in the middle of the night for food. Not sure why, they're well fed, we have changed their food a couple times just in case the nutrition wasn't right, tried wet food and dry food combos, etc. but nothing has changed. So we just set this off to the lowest setting to dispense food at about 2 am and 5 am before we wake up. It's worked great. The only thing it is loud due to the food hitting the tray, we used to have it in the bedroom with us, but we may need to get some kind of silicone mat to dull the sound. Overall it's worked great for our needs.

Overall it's worked great for our needs. The price is pretty steep and I'm not sure why you'd really need the voice recording since the animals can easily hear the food hitting the bowl throughout the house. Also the sound effect while you program the meals is loud and obnoxious. I feel like they could nix those two things and make the product even better and slightly less expensive. … more

I felt like the buttons were tricky but after I figured that out, it’s a breeze. The dish is big enough for my cats to share and they love it.

Purchased this product in March of 2020 and it was perfect for about 9 months. Now, it is giving us the same EEEE message that other users have reported after 1 year. It no longer works at all, despite cleaning and attempting to un-jam the mechanism as suggested. Bummer. Recommend if you plan to repurchase in less than a year. Trying a different brand this time.

This thing is pretty cool, but it's difficult to pick u/move as the surface is very slippery. It needs a handle or some silicon grips on the side or something.

I wanted to wait awhile before reviewing since one of the the biggest issues with automatic feeders is the unit dying after a few months. It was very overwhelming searching for auto feeder but I'm so glad I went with this one. My youngest kitty would wake us up at 5:30 AM every morning for food and it was becoming a serious problem. This was a life saver! I purchased in April 2020 and have had no issues! It has an option to be plugged in as well as batteries in case the power goes out. I found it very easy to program and I like that there are so many food portion options. The tray is easy to remove and clean. The inside part that holds the food take a little more time to clean (screws to unscrew I wanted to wait awhile before reviewing since one of the the biggest issues with automatic feeders is the unit dying after a few months.

I am gone overnight often for my job and this feeder still allows me to keep my cat on a normal feeding schedule. It is great quality and easy to set up. I've even purchased one for my friend and his Sheltie loves it as well.

Bought this product for when we go out of town to make it easier on friends that keep an eye on our little girl. Works well, smallest setting is the perfect amount since she only weighs 6-7lbs.

The feeder worked great for the first year but then started to go into error "EEEE" every now and then. Followed instructions and cleaned the unit. That seemed to fix it but then back to "EEEE" on the display. The error kept getting worse and more frequent. Now the error occurs after every cycle and I have to clean and reset. I cannot rely on this feeder to dispense food for my cats and cannot trust it to work while I am away. I am going to call the manufacturer but given that it is over 2 years old, I doubt much can be done. The instructions give little information on error resolution other than to "clean thoroughly until food is removed.
